Gridless

Gridless is a licensed and trusted contractor specializing in the installation of energy-efficient air conditioning and heat pump hot water systems. Servicing Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat, and surrounding areas, we deliver high-quality workmanship, expert system selection, and smooth installations backed by government rebates. Whether it’s a split system, ducted unit, or eco-friendly upgrade, our team ensures every project meets the highest standards in comfort, efficiency, and customer care.

Gridless’s own About page, signed by founder Jesse Raiz, describes the Melbourne-based company’s current scope as extending well past air conditioning and heat pump hot water into solar panel systems, home battery storage and broader home electrification upgrades, built on what Raiz describes as more than 50 years of combined team experience across renewable energy and HVAC.

Raiz writes that he started Gridless after seeing homeowners get rushed installations and rebate-driven sales pitches elsewhere, and says the company’s recommendations start from a household’s actual energy needs rather than from which product carries the biggest government incentive. He says he remains personally involved after a customer’s initial enquiry, and the company posts explainer videos covering solar, batteries and rebate program changes.

On rebates specifically, Gridless’s site spells out Victorian Energy Upgrades program amounts: swapping a gas ducted heater for a reverse-cycle ducted air conditioner can net a $1,000 to $4,000 rebate, a gas ducted heater to a reverse-cycle multi-split system $1,000 to $3,500, and an older split-system upgrade $200 to $500, all deducted from the installation cost rather than paid out separately. Every Victorian household qualifies regardless of income, provided the property is over two years old, though the scheme allows only one upgrade per house and excludes businesses, schools and places of worship.

Gridless’s air conditioning page also lists a wider service footprint than Victoria alone, naming Melbourne, Greater Sydney, Newcastle, the Central Coast, Wollongong and Port Macquarie as areas it covers, an interstate reach into New South Wales beyond the Victoria-only description often used for the company. The site also displays a 24/7 emergency service banner sitewide and offers free consultations for homeowners assessing solar, battery, heating or hot water upgrades.

Gridless states plainly on its About page that it is not simply a rebate company, framing its broader goal as helping Australian households use less grid electricity and gain more control over how their homes are powered, whether that starts with solar, battery storage or a heating and cooling upgrade.
