Our crew covers Whitehorse daily, and Vermont South sits right in the middle of that run — same team, same standard, no subcontractors sent in our place. Outage windows drive the whole program. HV work is scheduled around what the site can afford to lose and for how long, which means planning weeks out rather than days.
Vermont South sits on the same run as Glen Waverley, Lilydale and Mount Waverley. Same crew each time, so whoever quotes your high voltage and substation works is usually the person who turns up to do it.
Existing network, switching diagram and asset condition established.
Switching schedule, permits and window agreed with the site and network.
Authorised switching, installation or maintenance under documented procedure.
Tested, energised and documented, with drawings updated.
Every high voltage and substation works booking in Vermont South 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. All HV work performed under documented switching procedures by authorised personnel.
We don't quote high voltage and substation works over the phone from a description. Existing network, switching diagram and asset condition established. It takes an extra twenty minutes and it's the difference between a fixed price and a running one.
HV is a procedural discipline before it's a technical one. Switching schedules, permits and authorised operators are what keep people alive, and every job is planned that way from the start.
“No subcontractors, no surprise variations, no leftover mess.”
Whitehorse is full of mid-century brick homes renovated in stages, which shows up as a patchwork of wiring vintages behind one tired switchboard. Rubber-insulated and early PVC cabling still turns up in ceiling spaces around lighting circuits, and plenty of circuits predate RCD rules entirely. We'd rather bring the board and the older circuits up to standard than hang new load off them.
Vermont South sits on the same run as Glen Waverley, Lilydale, Mount Waverley — if we're at one, we're usually minutes from the others.
Anyone 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 high voltage and substation works honestly without seeing the job. What we can do is show you exactly what moves the number, so the price you're given in Vermont South makes sense before you agree to it. Programmed around agreed outage windows, typically planned weeks in advance.
Plenty of Vermont South 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.
Quoted per project after a site assessment, with outage planning and network fees identified separately.
All HV work performed under documented switching procedures by authorised personnel. Where a rebate applies we handle the forms and the compliance evidence — you don't chase it.

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!

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.

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 Vermont South visit means one set-up, one clean-up and one certificate — and it's almost always cheaper than having us back a second time.
Quoted per project after a site assessment, with outage planning and network fees identified separately. There's no travel premium to Vermont South — it's on our regular run from the Boronia workshop.
Programmed around agreed outage windows, typically planned weeks in advance.
Yes — we're A-Grade licensed electricians and a Registered Electrical Contractor (REC 33326), fully insured and CEC-accredited for solar design and installation. All HV work performed under documented switching procedures by authorised personnel.
Only authorised HV operators working to a documented switching schedule. That authorisation and the paperwork behind it is a legal requirement, not a formality.
We work right across Whitehorse — including Glen Waverley, Lilydale and Mount Waverley — 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.
