A-Grade electricians who do the whole job for Sunshine North, VIC 3020: reverse cycle heating and cooling, heat pump hot water, solar and batteries, induction and EV charging. One inspection, one fixed quote, every rebate applied.
Sunshine North is 1950s to 70s brick veneer and weatherboard on full blocks, with townhouse infill on the larger lots. Most homes are gas heated with gas storage hot water, and many have original switchboards.
Because Sunshine North is on mains gas and inside the VEU area, the usual order of works is heating and hot water first for the rebates and the running-cost drop, then solar and a battery sized to the new electric load, then the cooktop, then the gas meter abolished. The west also runs hotter in summer than the bay and eastern suburbs, so the reverse cycle system that replaces the gas heater earns its keep twice a year.
Site inspections in Sunshine North are free, the quote is fixed with every rebate already applied, and the same in-house crew does the electrical, refrigeration and plumbing. If you are weighing up where to start, our home electrification page walks through the order, or call and we will tell you straight for your house.
Ordered by what pays back fastest in Sunshine North's postwar housing: heating and hot water first, then solar and battery sized to the new electric load.
Sunshine North homes with wall furnaces get split systems, and those with ducted gas get reverse cycle on new R1.5 insulated ducts. The VEU discount applies either way. Every system is installed by our own ARC-licensed technicians.
A gas hot water unit is one of the two biggest gas users in a Sunshine North home. We replace it with a Reclaim, iStore or Emerald heat pump in a single day, plumber and electrician together, and apply the VEU discount and STCs before you see the price.
Sunshine North roofs take 6.6kW to 10kW with little shade. With heat pump hot water running in the middle of the day, most of the solar is used in the house. We lodge the Solar Victoria rebate and loan and the federal battery discount for you.
We design the whole Sunshine North job at the first inspection, so the switchboard, the solar and the battery are sized for everything that is coming, not just the first appliance. Stage it over one visit or several, and we arrange the gas meter abolishment at the end.
The induction swap is the smallest job on this page and the one that finally lets a Sunshine North home cancel the gas account. Dedicated circuit, cooktop supplied or yours installed, gas capped by our plumber.
