Servicing the Latrobe Valley
Traralgon, Morwell, Moe & surrounds
Traralgon (postcode 3844) is in a regional Victorian STC zone, so a hot water rebate here is worth more than the same system in metro Melbourne. Given the Latrobe Valley's historically low power prices are rising, switching from electric storage to a heat pump is now one of the highest-return upgrades available to local households.
We install throughout Traralgon, Traralgon South, Glengarry, Tyers, Morwell, Moe and Churchill — from older brick-and-tile homes to newer estates around the Traralgon bypass.

Emergency hot water service
The Latrobe Valley has a high concentration of older electric storage hot water systems — and they're expensive to run.

The most common Traralgon upgrade — extra certificates for decommissioning.
Cold-climate heat pumps specified
Traralgon winters get frosty — we only fit units rated for it.
Solar where the roof suits
Traralgon gets strong sun — north-facing roofs are ideal for solar hot water.
Switchboard & load check included
Older homes often need a circuit check before installing — we handle it.
Straightforward, no-hidden-cost process — from first call to hot water running.

Traralgon (3844) is in a regional Victorian STC zone, so eligible households can claim up to $700 on a heat pump or solar hot water system under Victorian Energy Upgrades. Decommissioning an old electric storage or gas unit can add further certificate value. We confirm your exact figure during the free assessment.
Yes. We cover Traralgon, Traralgon South, Glengarry, Tyers, Morwell, Moe, Churchill and surrounding Latrobe Valley towns. There's no extra travel charge for a rebate assessment in these areas.
It's worth considering. Off-peak rates have risen significantly, and an electric storage tank uses far more energy than a heat pump for the same amount of hot water. A heat pump typically cuts hot water energy use by 60–70% — combined with the rebate, payback is usually far quicker than most people expect. We'll run the comparison against your actual tariff.
Yes, provided the unit is cold-climate rated. Traralgon sees regular frosts, so we specify heat pumps with frost protection and an electric boost element. We won't fit a warm-climate-only model in the Latrobe Valley.
Standard installs are typically scheduled within 3–5 days and completed in one day. For failed systems, we offer 24/7 emergency service — call 0450 260 255 any time and we'll prioritise Traralgon addresses where possible.
Fill in your details and we'll call you back with your rebate amount and a fixed price — usually within one business hour.
