Large and two-storey homes, gas heating, a gas tank and a gas cooktop, and often panels already on the roof. We plan the whole electric house at the first inspection and do it in stages or all at once, with every trade on our own staff.
Home electrification Mount Eliza homes need is usually a bigger plan than in the suburbs closer to town. The houses are larger, many are two-storey, and heating a big floor area with gas is where most of the energy money goes. Hot water and a gas cooktop follow behind it. The trees that make the streets what they are also shape the roof, so the solar side of the plan needs as much care as the heating.
Heating comes first in most of these homes. A zoned ducted reverse cycle system lets you heat the rooms you are using, and multi-head systems suit houses where ducts are awkward. Reverse cycle heats for around a third of the running cost of gas heating, and it cools in summer as well. Heat pump hot water and an induction cooktop follow, and the solar and battery are sized to carry the electric house at the end, not the gas house at the start.
Plenty of homes here already have panels, so the battery and any upgrade often come into the plan early. Before any of it, we check the switchboard and the phase. Then it is one plan from the first inspection, staged as you like, with the rest of our work in Mount Eliza.
Each one done by our own A-Grade electricians, plumbers or ARC licensed technicians.
Braemar, Mitsubishi Electric or Hisense ducted reverse cycle on new R1.5 insulated ducts, typically one to two days, with AirTouch 5 zones so upstairs and downstairs run separately. In a two-storey where the ducts genuinely cannot be replaced, a Braemar Dominator keeps them. Split or multi-head systems cover homes without ducts.
An Emerald, Reclaim, iStore or Haier heat pump in place of the gas tank, sized for the household and placed on a sheltered wall. Normally a one-day swap.
Often the last gas appliance standing. It gets its own circuit, and with no rebate on cooktops it is a simple fixed price.
If the roof already carries panels, a battery stores the daytime surplus for the evening heating load. If the array is old or too small, we replace or extend it around the trees, sized for the finished electric house.
The full range is on our products page.
Ducted reverse cycle on new R1.5 ducts, or split systems, in place of ducted gas or a wall furnace.
A heat pump in place of the gas storage or instantaneous unit, usually changed over in one day.
The last gas appliance in most kitchens, replaced with induction on its own circuit.
Solar and storage sized for the new electric load, with an EV charger on the same system.
None of these is in Mount Eliza itself. Two are a few minutes away in Mount Martha, and one is a double-storey in Blairgowrie.
Heating, hot water and cooking all went electric and the gas line was removed. 32 Jinko panels across two roof planes, a 10kW Sigen hybrid inverter with backup gateway, 24.18kWh of SigenStor and a new flush-mount switchboard, installed in one day. The independent electrical inspector complimented the work.
The hallway gas wall furnace was decommissioned and replaced with reverse cycle, an indoor wall unit and two outdoor units each on its own circuit. An Emerald heat pump, 29 Jinko Tiger Neo III panels on tile and 27.12kWh of SigenStor with a backup gateway went in too, and every circuit on the upgraded board was labelled.
A double-storey on a single-phase board, rewired to three-phase. Gas heating, hot water and cooking were all removed: Mitsubishi Electric split systems, heat pump hot water, induction, 17.1kW of Jinko solar, 32kWh of Sigenergy and a 22kW EV charger.
Big homes are often done over more than one visit. The plan keeps each stage from undoing the last.
Heating, hot water, cooktop, switchboard, phase, roof and trees, all looked at together.
Any switchboard upgrade is planned up front so every new circuit has room.
Usually first in a large home, because it is the biggest gas user and adds cooling.
Heat pump in one day, induction on its own circuit.
Sized for the finished house, then the last gas appliance goes.
There is no single electrification rebate. Each item has its own, or none, and we apply them on the quote.
The Cheaper Home Batteries discount, around 30 percent off an approved battery with no income test. There is no Solar Victoria battery rebate or loan now.
Victorian Energy Upgrades discounts apply to reverse cycle heating and cooling and to heat pump hot water. Our Mount Eliza heating and cooling page has more on the heating side.
Solar Victoria rebate and interest-free loan on panels and inverters for eligible owner-occupiers, STCs on panels and heat pump hot water, and a fixed price on induction and EV chargers, which carry no rebate.
Large homes have more circuits, more roof and more to coordinate. That is easier when one company does it all.
Electricians, plumbers and ARC licensed technicians (AU 065299), none of them subcontracted.
Zoning, tank size and battery size worked out together, so each suits the others.
And more than 10,000 products installed across Melbourne.
Staged jobs are easy to schedule when we are this close.

Usually with the heating, because it uses the most gas. Zoned ducted reverse cycle lets upstairs and downstairs run on their own.
It moves the battery up the list. A battery stores your daytime surplus for the evening heating. If the array is old or small, we look at replacing or extending it.
Our default is new R1.5 insulated ducts. A Braemar Dominator keeps existing ducts only where they cannot be replaced, which is usually a double-storey.
For the solar, yes. We lay panels out around the shade and size the battery to suit what the roof can actually produce.
It depends on how many stages. Ducted reverse cycle is typically one to two days, a heat pump one day, and many solar and battery jobs are one day. Most people spread it over a few visits.
Not as one rebate. VEU covers heating and hot water, Solar Victoria covers eligible panels and inverters, batteries get the federal discount, and cooktops and chargers have none.
One inspection, one written plan with every stage priced. You choose the pace.
