Ducted gas homes in town, LPG and wood heating on the acreage, sheds and three-phase supply. We plan the electric property from one inspection and stage it as you like, with every trade employed by us and the depot here in Speedwell Street.
Home electrification Somerville style depends on which side of town you live on. The homes around the township are mostly on mains gas, often with ducted gas heating, a gas hot water unit and a gas cooktop. Out on the acreage, heating usually comes from a wood fire or LPG, hot water from LPG or an electric tank, and the property has sheds, pumps and outbuildings drawing power as well.
In town, the heating swap is usually first: ducted reverse cycle on new R1.5 insulated ducts, which heats for around a third of the running cost of gas and adds cooling. On acreage, split systems in the rooms you use often make more sense than ducting a large house. Heat pump hot water and induction follow in both cases, and the solar and battery are sized for the finished load, sheds included.
Three-phase supply is common outside town, which suits a bigger solar array and battery, and fast EV charging. Before any of it we check the switchboard and what it already carries. Then it is one plan from the first inspection, alongside the rest of our work in Somerville.
All done by our own electricians, plumbers and ARC licensed technicians, out of the Somerville depot.
Town homes on ducted gas move to Braemar, Mitsubishi Electric or Hisense ducted reverse cycle on new R1.5 insulated ducts, typically one to two days, with AirTouch 5 zoning. On acreage heated by wood or LPG, split systems go into the main rooms in a few hours each.
An Emerald, Reclaim, iStore or Haier heat pump, using about a quarter of the energy of a gas storage unit, normally fitted in one day.
On its own circuit, at a fixed price, since cooktops carry no rebate. Once it goes in, in most homes no gas appliances are left.
Big roofs, sheds and three-phase supply suit larger arrays and batteries, and 11kW or 22kW EV charging where the car can take it.
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 Somerville itself. Two are on the Peninsula, in Mount Martha and Blairgowrie, and one is in Doreen.
Heating, hot water and cooking all went electric and the gas line was removed. 15.2kW of Jinko solar, a 10kW Sigen hybrid inverter, 24.18kWh of SigenStor with a backup gateway and a new flush-mount switchboard, installed in one day.
A double-storey on a single-phase board, rewired to three-phase so it could take everything. Gas heating, hot water and cooking all removed for Mitsubishi Electric splits, heat pump hot water and induction, with 17.1kW of Jinko solar, 32kWh of Sigenergy and a 22kW EV charger.
Gas ducted heating, gas hot water and a gas cooktop all replaced by one team in one job: 23.5kW ducted reverse cycle with 12 vents and seven AirTouch 5 zones planned on the floor plan, a Reclaim CO2 heat pump and induction.
We are a few minutes away, which makes a staged plan easy to run.
Every gas or LPG appliance, the wood heater, sheds, pumps, the board and the supply type.
The order of works with each stage priced, sized for the whole property.
Upgrade the switchboard if needed so later circuits have room.
Heating, hot water, cooktop, solar, battery and charger, in the order that suits you.
No gas appliances left, and no gas bill or bottle deliveries to pay for.
There is no single all-electric rebate. We apply each item's own incentive, where it has one.
Solar Victoria rebate and interest-free loan on panels and inverters for eligible owner-occupiers. STCs on panels and heat pump hot water.
Around 30 percent off an approved battery through Cheaper Home Batteries, no income test. Induction cooktops and EV chargers have no rebate and are a fixed price.
Victorian Energy Upgrades discounts on reverse cycle heating and cooling and heat pump hot water. See our Somerville heating and cooling page for ducted and split options.

Often with hot water, because you stop buying LPG for it straight away, then split systems for the main rooms. Solar and a battery are sized around both.
Yes. Our default is ducted reverse cycle on new R1.5 insulated ducts, typically one to two days. A Braemar Dominator keeps existing ducts only where they cannot be replaced, usually in a double-storey.
Yes. They add load, so we size the switchboard, solar and battery for the whole property, not just the house.
It helps with bigger solar and battery systems and with 11kW or 22kW EV charging. Many acreage properties here already have it. Where a home is single-phase, we can look at what an upgrade would involve.
Yes, most are. The plan from the first inspection sets the order so nothing is redone.
VEU on heating and hot water, Solar Victoria on eligible panels and inverters, the federal discount on batteries, STCs on panels and heat pumps, and none on cooktops or chargers.
One walk-through, one written plan with each stage priced. From the depot around the corner.
