Solar and batteries, heat pumps, ducted reverse cycle and EV charging, designed as one system and installed by our own A-Grade electricians across Vermont South and Forest Hill and Vermont. About 50 minutes from our depot in Somerville, rebates applied before you see the price.
Vermont South sits in the City of Whitehorse area, about 41 km and 50 minutes from our Somerville depot, next to Forest Hill, Vermont and Glen Waverley. Most of the housing went up between the 1960s and the 1980s: brick veneer on a slab or stumps, a ducted gas heater in the roof and a gas storage tank against the side wall. It is the most common kind of house we electrify, and the one where the savings are largest.
Because Vermont South is on mains gas and inside the VEU area, the typical 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. We plan the whole sequence at the first inspection so nothing has to be redone.
We have been working in Vermont South and around Forest Hill, Vermont and Glen Waverley for years. Site inspections 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 Vermont South's housing: heating and hot water first, then solar and battery sized to the new electric load.
Replacing a 20-plus-year-old ducted gas heater with ducted reverse cycle on new R1.5 insulated ducts is the job we do most in Vermont South. The house gets cooling for the first time, the gas bill drops and the VEU discount comes off the install. Where the ducts cannot be replaced, a Braemar Dominator keeps them and controls the airflow, and where ducted is not practical, Mitsubishi Electric or Hisense split systems cover the living areas and bedrooms.
Heating & Cooling across MelbourneMost Vermont South homes still have a gas storage tank, and when it fails it is usually replaced like for like without anyone asking the question. The better answer is a heat pump from Reclaim, iStore or Emerald, installed in a day by our plumber and electrician together, with VEU and STCs both applied. About a quarter of the energy, and normally the fastest-paying step off gas.
Hot Water Systems across MelbourneA typical Vermont South brick veneer has room for 6.6kW to 13kW of panels and the evening load to justify a battery. We design from your bills, install with our own SAA-accredited electricians and apply every Victorian and federal incentive on the quote.
Solar & Battery across MelbourneA full Vermont South 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 Vermont South 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.
Induction Cooktops across MelbourneEV charging in Vermont South starts with the switchboard. Many of the 1970s boards need a breaker or RCD upgrade for a 32A charger circuit, which we include in the fixed price. Solar-aware charging is set up on the day.
EV Chargers across MelbourneVermont South has a steady rental market, and we do the two-yearly electrical safety checks Victorian rental providers need, smoke alarm and switchboard compliance, and the heat pump and split system upgrades landlords are asked for. Per-property reports and tenant access handled by us.

Yes. Vermont South 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.
In many Vermont South homes, yes. On most jobs we replace the old gas ducts with new R1.5 insulated ducts sized to the new reverse cycle unit. Where the ducts cannot be replaced, often in double-storey homes, we fit a Braemar Dominator, which keeps the existing ducts and controls the airflow through them. We check which applies at the site visit.
Usually within the week, often sooner. Our depot is in Somerville, about 50 minutes from Vermont South.
