One licensed crew for solar, batteries, heating and cooling, hot water, induction and EV charging for San Remo homes, 40 minutes from our Somerville base. Rebates applied on the quote.
40 minutes from Somerville, San Remo is where a lot of our Peninsula work is. Coastal homes, strong solar, owners who want a battery and backup for the outages that come with the wind. Gas is reticulated in parts of San Remo and not others, so the electrification plan starts with checking what the house actually runs on.
The gas heater and the hot water unit are where a San Remo home's energy money goes, and both are in the Victorian Energy Upgrades area, so replacing them attracts VEU discounts on top of the running-cost saving. Ducted reverse cycle goes in with new R1.5 insulated ducts, and a heat pump hot water unit goes in on the same day the old tank comes out. The Solar Victoria rebate and loan cover the solar panels and inverter, and the federal battery discount covers the battery.
San Remo is regular territory for our crews, and a site inspection there is usually within the week. We design every job as one system, so the solar is sized for the heat pump it will run and the switchboard is checked before the EV charger is quoted.
High solar uptake means batteries and upgrades lead in San Remo, with heating, hot water and EV following.
Solar uptake in San Remo is among the highest in Victoria, so a lot of our work here is batteries on existing systems and upgrades to arrays that were sized before EVs and heat pumps. Salt-rated mounting and outdoor gear, backup circuits for the outages, and every rebate applied.
Solar & Battery across MelbourneIn San Remo the ducted gas heaters are reaching the end of their lives together, and every one of them is a candidate for a reverse cycle swap, usually with new R1.5 insulated ducts. ARC-authorised technicians, VEU discount applied, and for the smaller homes and units a split system or multi-head does the job for less.
Heating & Cooling across MelbourneHeat pump hot water is the easiest electrification win in San Remo: one visit, old gas or electric tank out, Reclaim or iStore heat pump in, gas capped, VEU discount and STCs on the quote. Timed to run through the middle of the day it heats almost entirely on solar.
Hot Water Systems across MelbournePlenty of San Remo homes are second homes with the car arriving Friday night, which makes scheduled and solar-aware charging worth setting up properly. Tesla Wall Connector, Sigenergy or Zappi, switchboard checked, salt-rated where it is exposed.
EV Chargers across MelbourneA full San Remo electrification is usually heating first, hot water second, then solar and battery sized to the new load, then the cooktop, then the gas meter abolished. Designed once at the first inspection, staged over as many visits as suits you, and every step attracts its own rebates.
Home Electrification across MelbourneOnce heating and hot water are electric, the cooktop is the last gas appliance in most San Remo kitchens and the reason the supply charge keeps arriving. We supply and install the induction cooktop, run the dedicated circuit and cap the gas, usually in half a day.

Yes. San Remo is inside the VEU area, so heat pump hot water and reverse cycle heating and cooling both attract discounts, with the largest when you are replacing gas. We apply them on the quote.
Usually the ducted heater or the hot water unit, whichever is older. Both carry the largest running costs and the largest VEU discounts, and both are one-visit jobs.
Usually within the week, often sooner. Our depot is in Somerville, about 40 minutes from San Remo.
Yes. Sigenergy, Tesla Powerwall and Sungrow, sized to your evening load, with backup circuits configured. The Solar Victoria rebate and loan for solar panels and inverters, and the federal battery discount, are applied on the quote.
