YarravilleHow we approach Yarraville homes
Yarraville around the village and the Sun Theatre is Victorian and Edwardian weatherboards on narrow lots, with heritage overlays over several precincts. Further out, towards Francis Street and the Stony Creek side, the housing moves into interwar and postwar weatherboards on bigger blocks, and those are the homes where ducted heating and larger solar arrays come into play.
Because Yarraville 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 Yarraville 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.
