One licensed crew for solar, batteries, heating and cooling, hot water, induction and EV charging for Wheelers Hill homes, 40 minutes from our Somerville base. Rebates applied on the quote.
About 40 minutes from Somerville, Wheelers Hill is classic City of Monash housing: brick veneer built in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, most of it heated by ducted gas that is now well past its design life. We have worked in Wheelers Hill and neighbouring Mulgrave, Glen Waverley and Notting Hill for years, so we know these houses before we walk in.
The gas heater and the hot water unit are where a Wheelers Hill 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.
We have been working in Wheelers Hill and around Mulgrave, Glen Waverley and Notting Hill 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 Wheelers Hill's housing: heating and hot water first, then solar and battery sized to the new electric load.
In Wheelers Hill 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 MelbourneMost Wheelers Hill 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 Wheelers Hill 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 MelbourneWe plan the whole switch for a Wheelers Hill 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 MelbourneThe induction swap is the smallest job on this page and the one that finally lets a Wheelers Hill home cancel the gas account. Dedicated 32A circuit, cooktop supplied or yours installed, gas capped by our plumber.
Induction Cooktops across MelbourneEV charging in Wheelers Hill 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.

Yes. Wheelers Hill 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 Wheelers Hill 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 40 minutes from Wheelers Hill.
