Boronia based · Melbourne's eastBoronia based · Serving Melbourne's east + south east
A home battery stores the solar you'd otherwise export for a few cents and uses it at night when power costs the most. We size it against your actual load profile, install it with a labelled backup circuit where the site allows, and handle the rebate paperwork. In Tecoma that work is done by our own crew out of Boronia, certified and quoted before we start.

We're Boronia based, which puts Tecoma a short run down the road. That's why most home battery installation bookings in the Dandenong Ranges land inside the week. Backup is the part people assume is included and often isn't. Whole-home backup needs the loads split and a dedicated essential-services circuit; done properly you keep the fridge, lights, internet and a power point through an outage instead of discovering the battery goes dark with the street.
We book Tecoma alongside Upwey, Belgrave South and Belgrave Heights, so you're not paying for a van to cross town. If you've got more than one thing on the list, stack it into the one visit and you'll get better value out of it.
Interval data, evening usage and what the house will draw once it's electrified.
Where it can legally and safely go, and how many kWh actually earn their keep.
Inverter, isolation, labelling and a backup circuit where the site allows.
Tariff-aware charge and discharge settings, plus monitoring set up on your phone.
Every home battery installation booking in Tecoma runs off the same checklist, whether it's a 1960s brick veneer or a new build. Here's exactly what's covered in the price we quote you.
A-Grade licensed, REC 33326, fully insured and CEC accredited for solar design and installation. Batteries are installed to AS/NZS 5139 with clearances, signage and isolation done properly, not fudged to fit a wall.
Every Tecoma job starts the same way: load profile review. Interval data, evening usage and what the house will draw once it's electrified. That's what keeps the quote you're given the invoice you pay.
Tariffs change the maths more than brand does. On a time-of-use plan a battery is arbitraging expensive evening power, and on some plans it can soak up cheap overnight rates too. We look at the plan you're actually on before recommending a size.
“One in-house crew — the person who quotes your home battery installation is the person who does it.”
Heavy tree cover is the whole story for solar in the Ranges. Shading moves across the roof through the day and hard through winter, so panel-level optimisers or micro-inverters usually earn their keep instead of a plain string, and we model yield honestly before quoting. Where the roof simply won't do it, a smaller array paired with a battery on a good tariff often beats chasing kilowatts.
Tecoma sits on the same run as Upwey, Belgrave South, Belgrave Heights — if we're at one, we're usually minutes from the others.
More about battery storageAnyone can say they're licensed. Here's what that actually means when we're on your job — and the paperwork you'll hold at the end of it.
You see the number, the inclusions and the exclusions in writing. If the scope changes on site, we stop and ask — we don't invoice a surprise.
No labour hire, no subcontractors. The electrician who quotes your job is the one standing in your switchboard, on the same REC (33326).
Every job finishes with a Certificate of Electrical Safety, tested circuits, a labelled board and photos of anything hidden behind a wall.
Workmanship guaranteed and manufacturer warranties registered in your name. If something plays up, you ring us — not a call centre in another state.
Nobody can quote home battery installation honestly without seeing the job. What we can do is show you exactly what moves the number, so the price you're given in Tecoma makes sense before you agree to it. A straight battery retrofit is usually a single day. Adding backup circuits or replacing the inverter can push it to two.
Plenty of Tecoma homes still run a board that predates RCDs. If yours does, it either needs upgrading first or it needs allowing for in the quote — we tell you which on the day, not after.
Roof pitch, subfloor clearance and how far the run is from the board move the labour more than the fittings do. We measure it before pricing, so the number holds.
Cost tracks usable kWh, whether you need backup, and whether your existing inverter can be retrofitted or has to be replaced. Everything is quoted in writing with rebates deducted.
Batteries are installed to AS/NZS 5139 with clearances, signage and isolation done properly, not fudged to fit a wall. Where a rebate applies we handle the forms and the compliance evidence — you don't chase it.
These are Google reviews from real jobs across Melbourne's east — the same crew that would turn up in Tecoma.
Excellent service! The team arrived on time and completed the installation efficiently and up to scratch. Everything was done neatly, with great attention to detail. Ryan and Jack are top blokes and easy to deal with. Highly recommended!
Jeffrey Belvez · Glen Waverley
Absolutely fantastic service and work done! The boys were super accommodating, answered any questions I had without a problem, left everything neat and tidy and overall did an amazing job installing our battery and inverter. Cannot recommend enough.
Isaac Giblett · Battery + inverter
Zak and Ryan did a amazing job. Even with the obstacles of a double story home with a internal switch board they persevered in the heat and got the job done. Thanks guys we realy appreciate your work and polite attitude.
Stephen S · Switchboard
Luke and his team installed our solar panels over the space of 2 days. Great service arrived on time and communicated well, took away all rubbish made sure the place was left tidy and walked me through the app and next steps. Would highly reccomend!
Christie V · Solar install
Ryan and Jack did a great job doing the electrical work on my new 4 head split system. They got the job done in no time, and my split systems were up and running. Once connected, Ryan made sure all 4 heads were working. Thanks guys, great job!
James "Mitchi" Mitch · Split system
The experience is very nice with them. Specially Roy and Jack did their best. We are so much happy about their service. They heard every single word of us and suggest us which is good and why. Highly recommend

If there's more than one thing on the list, tell us when you book. Doing it in the one Tecoma visit means one set-up, one clean-up and one certificate — and it's almost always cheaper than having us back a second time.
Cost tracks usable kWh, whether you need backup, and whether your existing inverter can be retrofitted or has to be replaced. Everything is quoted in writing with rebates deducted. There's no travel premium to Tecoma — it's on our regular run from the Boronia workshop.
A straight battery retrofit is usually a single day. Adding backup circuits or replacing the inverter can push it to two.
Yes — we're A-Grade licensed electricians and a Registered Electrical Contractor (REC 33326), fully insured and CEC-accredited for solar design and installation. Batteries are installed to AS/NZS 5139 with clearances, signage and isolation done properly, not fudged to fit a wall.
Usually. Either we add AC-coupled storage alongside your existing inverter, or we replace it with a hybrid. Which one is cheaper depends on the age and brand of what's already there.
We work right across the Dandenong Ranges — including Upwey, Belgrave South and Belgrave Heights — plus the wider east and south-east, from Boronia to Berwick and Balwyn to Warrandyte.
Luke · Founder, A-Grade electrician
Most of what's wrong with this industry comes down to one thing: the person selling isn't the person installing.
I'm a licensed A-Grade electrician, and so is everyone who'll be on your roof or in your switchboard. When we quote your home, we're quoting work we'll do ourselves — which is why we'll happily talk you out of gear you don't need.
If you're thinking about getting off gas, call us. Worst case, you'll hang up knowing more than you did.
