Degree C
Luke Vos does home visits for solar quotes and multiple customers say his pricing came in under what they expected.
That picture holds strongly across the recent review window, which averages noticeably higher than the earlier period. The exception worth flagging: seven reviews in the sample mention problems with quote follow-through — emails not returned, quotes promised but never sent, and in a couple of cases waits stretching to months with no update. This is a genuine pattern, not a one-off, and it's worth asking upfront how they handle communication and what timeframe to expect. The practical move is to confirm a specific callback date when you make contact, and if you don't hear within that window, follow up directly rather than waiting — several reviewers who pushed through got good results, while those who waited quietly did not.

About Degree C
Degree C runs a full-service electrical, air conditioning, and solar business out of Ulverstone, covering heat pumps, ducted systems, solar panels, battery storage, and EV chargers for residential customers across Tasmania's northwest. Luke Vos leads the solar and consultation side — reviewers consistently pick him out for home visits that are genuinely educational rather than sales-driven, and for pricing that often comes in under what customers expected. Charlie and Sam handle quoting for heat pump and split-system jobs, with Charlie specifically praised for taking time to explain options without rushing; Matthew and John are named on the installation and handover side, with John noted for walking customers through operation after the job is done. The team is comfortable with technically challenging installs — a pre-Federation double-brick home, concrete deck drilling, floor-mounted heat pumps replacing inbuilt wood heaters, and hydronic heat pump swaps are all mentioned in reviews — which suggests they're a practical choice when the job isn't straightforward. Tyler is called out for post-installation app walkthroughs on solar systems, a detail that matters for customers who want to actually understand their system's output and savings. For renovation projects or older homes where other contractors might hesitate, the team's willingness to problem-solve on-site is a recurring thread across the review sample.
Best for: residential solar and battery system installs where you want an educational consultation rather than a sales pitch, ducted or split-system heat pump installs in older or architecturally tricky homes, and solar setups paired with EV charger installation.

What types of jobs does Degree C specialise in?+
Based on 40 reviewed customer accounts, the bulk of their work is residential solar panel and battery installations, split-system and ducted heat pump installs, and EV charger setups. They also handle hydronic heat pump replacements and have completed installs in technically challenging properties including pre-Federation double-brick homes and houses with concrete decks. Their Google business listing also classifies them as a licensed electrician and general contractor, so general residential electrical work appears to be within scope, though most reviews focus on the heating and solar side.
Who will I deal with at Degree C — is there a consistent contact person?+
Several team members appear by name across reviews: Luke Vos leads solar consultations and is frequently the face of the quote process; Charlie and Sam handle quoting on heat pump jobs; Matthew is mentioned in connection with initial assessments; Tyler is specifically praised for explaining solar monitoring apps after installation; and John is noted for post-install system walkthroughs. Reviews suggest you're likely to deal with different people across the quoting and installation stages, so it's worth asking who your main point of contact will be once you've accepted a quote.
What do customers say about Degree C's pricing?+
Pricing feedback across the review sample is consistently positive — several customers note that quotes came in lower than anticipated, and one reviewer compared three solar quotes and said Degree C was the strongest on both price and service. A couple of reviews describe quotes as 'reasonable' or 'competitive' for heat pump work. No reviews in the sample described pricing as excessive for completed installs, though one negative review did raise a dispute about charges for a repair job that the customer felt was incomplete.
How reliable is Degree C with communication and follow-up?+
This is the most mixed area in the review sample. Customers who completed installs — particularly solar jobs — generally describe communication as clear and timely, with updates before arrival and smooth coordination. However, seven of the 40 reviewed accounts describe issues with follow-up: quotes requested but never received, emails not answered, and in some cases waits of several months with no contact. The pattern is consistent enough to be worth managing proactively — when you first make contact, ask for a specific timeframe for the quote and follow up directly if you don't hear within it.
Does Degree C handle the paperwork and permits for solar installations?+
Yes — multiple reviewers specifically mention that Degree C managed permits, paperwork, and app setup as part of the solar installation process, describing it as making the experience 'stress free.' One reviewer notes that all permits and associated apps were handled by the team, and Tyler is singled out for walking customers through the solar monitoring app after the system goes live. If you're comparing solar installers and this kind of end-to-end handling matters to you, it's worth confirming the scope of what they manage at the quote stage.
