Reverse cycle heating and cooling, heat pump hot water, induction, solar, a battery and an EV charger, with the switchboard checked first. Do it in stages or all at once. Every trade is our own.
A typical Mordialloc period home, renovated or not, still has gas doing three jobs: heating, hot water and the cooktop. The heating might be ducted gas in the roof, or a wall furnace in the hallway of an older place. The newer townhouses often have the same three, just in a smaller footprint. So the home electrification Mordialloc homes need comes down to replacing each of those with an electric option and then sizing solar and a battery to carry the new load.
We have already done part of this in Mordialloc. On one tiled home we fitted 13.3kW of Jinko solar and a GoodWe battery on the southern wall beside the switchboard, and replaced the gas cooktop with induction on its own circuit. That job shows how it usually goes here: the switchboard sets the limits, and everything is planned around what it can carry.
You do not have to do it all at once. Some owners start with hot water, some with heating before winter, some with solar. What matters is one plan from the first inspection, so the solar is not too small for the heat pumps and the board is not upgraded twice. More on our general work in Mordialloc is on the suburb page.
Each step stands on its own. Together they make up the home electrification Mordialloc owners usually plan with us, and each is easier planned with the others.
Ducted gas is replaced with ducted reverse cycle on new R1.5 insulated ducts, usually one to two days. A hallway wall furnace in an older home is replaced with split systems, a few hours each. Braemar, Mitsubishi Electric or Hisense, with AirTouch 5 zoning on ducted.
The gas storage tank comes out and an Emerald, Reclaim, iStore or Haier heat pump goes in, with plumber and electrician together. It uses about a quarter of the energy of the gas unit.
Induction replaces the gas cooktop, as it did in our Mordialloc job. It needs a dedicated circuit from the switchboard, which we allow for when we check the board.
Panels and a battery sized to the electric load you are heading for, not the one you have now, plus an EV charger if a car is coming. Single or three-phase is confirmed first.
The full range is on our products page.
Ducted reverse cycle on new R1.5 ducts, or split systems, in place of ducted gas or a wall furnace.
A heat pump in place of the gas storage or instantaneous unit, usually changed over in one day.
The last gas appliance in most kitchens, replaced with induction on its own circuit.
Solar and storage sized for the new electric load, with an EV charger on the same system.
Our own Mordialloc job first, then two complete electrifications from Mount Martha and Doreen.
Right here in Mordialloc, 28 Jinko panels on a tile roof, a GoodWe battery on the southern wall beside the switchboard, and the gas cooktop replaced with induction on its own circuit.
Down the Peninsula in Mount Martha, the whole house went electric and the gas line was removed. 15.2kW of solar, a 10kW Sigen hybrid inverter, 24.18kWh of SigenStor and a new switchboard, installed in one day.
In Doreen, gas ducted heating, gas hot water and a gas cooktop were all replaced by one team: 23.5kW ducted reverse cycle with seven AirTouch 5 zones, a Reclaim CO2 heat pump and induction.
The order depends on your house and budget. The plan does not change once it is set.
Every gas appliance, the switchboard, the supply phase, the roof and where each new unit can sit.
A written plan with each step priced and its incentives shown, so you can choose the order.
If the board cannot carry the new circuits, it is upgraded at the start so nothing is redone later.
Heating, hot water, cooking and solar, each by our own electricians, plumbers and ARC licensed technicians.
With heating, hot water and cooking electric, you can stop paying for a gas connection you no longer use.
There is no single electrification rebate. Each part has its own, and some have none.
Eligible owner-occupiers can get the Solar Victoria rebate and interest-free loan on panels and inverter, as our Mordialloc job did. STCs apply to panels and to heat pump hot water.
Victorian Energy Upgrades discounts reverse cycle heating and cooling and heat pump hot water. More on the heating side at heating and cooling in Mordialloc.
Batteries get the federal Cheaper Home Batteries discount, around 30 percent, no income test. Induction cooktops and EV chargers have no rebate and are fixed price.
Electrification touches four trades. Ours are all employees, so one company answers for the whole house.
Heating, hot water, cooking and solar priced together, so the sizes line up.

Usually with whatever is closest to failing, often the hot water tank or an old ducted heater. If neither is urgent, solar first can make sense, sized for the heat pumps that will follow.
Yes, and most people stage it. We set one plan at the first inspection and price each step, so later stages slot in without rework.
Normally reverse cycle split systems, a few hours each to install. They heat for around a third of the running cost of gas and cool in summer as well.
In many older Mordialloc homes, yes, because heat pumps, induction and an EV charger each need their own circuit. We check it first and include any upgrade in the plan.
No. Induction cooktops are a fixed price with no rebate. Heating, hot water, solar panels and batteries each have their own incentives.
With no gas appliances left, you can stop paying for a gas connection you no longer use. We plan the order of works so that is where you end up.
One inspection, one written plan, every step priced with its incentives. Do all of it or start with one.
