One licensed crew for solar, batteries, heating and cooling, hot water, induction and EV charging for Wantirna homes, 50 minutes from our Somerville base. Rebates applied on the quote.
About 50 minutes from our depot, Wantirna is hills country: bigger blocks, gums over the roof, and houses that were built for gas or wood heating. We design solar around the shade rather than pretending it is not there, and we replace a lot of ageing gas ducted systems with reverse cycle in Wantirna and neighbouring Wantirna South, Vermont and Heathmont.
The gas heater and the hot water unit are where a Wantirna 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 usually connects to the existing ducts, and a heat pump hot water unit goes in on the same day the old tank comes out. Solar Victoria rebates and loans cover the panels and battery that follow.
Wantirna 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.
Cold winters and shaded roofs set the order in Wantirna: reverse cycle heating first, then solar designed around the trees.
Replacing a 20-plus-year-old ducted gas heater with a Braemar or Mitsubishi reverse cycle unit on the existing ducts is the job we do most in Wantirna. The house gets cooling for the first time, the gas bill drops and the VEU discount comes off the install. Where ducts are not practical, split systems from Panasonic, Mitsubishi or Haier cover the living areas and bedrooms.
Heating & Cooling across MelbourneSolar in Wantirna means designing around gums, dormers and pitched roofs. Optimisers where they earn their keep, panel placement from a site visit not a satellite guess, and a battery with backup circuits because the power drops out more often up here.
Solar & Battery across MelbourneMost Wantirna 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 MelbourneWe plan the whole switch for a Wantirna home from one site inspection: what goes first for the fastest payback, what the solar needs to be sized for once the gas appliances are electric, and when the meter comes off. One crew for all of it.
Home Electrification across MelbourneLonger driveways and detached carports in Wantirna mean longer cable runs, and the older boards often need work. We quote the whole thing fixed, and with the solar and battery systems common up here the charger is set to fill the car from the roof.
EV Chargers across MelbourneThe induction swap is the smallest job on this page and the one that finally lets a Wantirna home cancel the gas account. Dedicated 32A circuit, cooktop supplied or yours installed, gas capped by our plumber, VEU discount on the quote.

Yes. Wantirna is inside the VEU area, so heat pump hot water, reverse cycle heating and cooling and induction cooktops all attract discounts, with the largest when you are replacing gas. We apply them on the quote.
In most Wantirna homes, yes. We inspect the ducts and the plenum at the site visit, and if they are sound the reverse cycle unit connects to them. That is the single biggest saving in the job.
Usually within the week, often sooner. Our depot is in Somerville, about 50 minutes from Wantirna.
Usually, but shade is the issue in Wantirna. We design panel placement from a site visit and use optimisers where trees make a difference.
All of them. Wantirna South, Vermont and Heathmont and the rest of the City of Knox area, and across Melbourne. See the locations page for the full list.
