EGS Electric Gas Solar
Matt quotes on-site rather than by phone — reviewers say it's why their final bills matched what they were told.
Matt is the go-to for quoting and product advice, Jason runs the booking side and responds faster than most (one reviewer got booked within a week after other companies hadn't replied), and Will, Connor, Jacob, Kalvin, and Joel each appear in enough individual reviews to suggest reliable bench depth rather than a one-man show. Pricing feedback is consistently described as competitive or the cheapest among multiple quotes, and the team actively mentions government incentive schemes and interest-free finance for heat pump and solar upgrades, which is practically useful if you're weighing the upfront cost of electrification.

About EGS Electric Gas Solar
Matt and Jason lead operations at EGS, with Matt typically handling on-site quotes and product advice while Jason manages scheduling and coordinates installs — reviewers specifically credit Jason for getting jobs booked within a week when other companies hadn't responded. The business spans a genuinely wide trade range: ducted heating and cooling, split systems, heat pump hot water, gas fitting, plumbing, solar and battery storage, and electrical work, meaning homeowners going through a full electrification upgrade (say, swapping gas ducted heating for electric and adding solar) can use a single contractor rather than coordinating multiple trades. Named technicians each carry distinct praise — Will handles plumbing and gas fitting with reviewers noting his copper pipework and follow-up calls the next day, Connor services and repairs heat pumps and gas appliances with a patient, explanatory approach that several customers highlight, and the install crew (Jacob, Kalvin, Joel, and Rowan appear across multiple jobs) are repeatedly called out for speed and spotless cleanup. The electrification angle is particularly notable: several reviews describe replacing gas ducted heating or gas hot water with electric alternatives, and the team appears comfortable advising on government energy efficiency schemes and interest-free financing options for qualifying upgrades. EGS suits homeowners tackling whole-home comfort overhauls — new builds, renovations, or switching fuel sources — where having electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians from one business reduces coordination friction across a complex job.
Best for: whole-home electrification upgrades switching from gas to electric heating or hot water, complex ducted system installs in renovations and new builds, and homeowners wanting a single contractor to handle electrical, plumbing, and HVAC across one project.

Does EGS Electric Gas Solar handle the full switch from gas heating to electric — including both the electrical and plumbing sides?+
Yes — multiple reviews describe EGS removing gas ducted heating or gas hot water and installing electric alternatives in a single job. Because the business holds both electrical and plumbing licences, the same crew handles what would normally require two separate contractors. Reviewers note the switchovers were completed in one day with no need to coordinate trades separately.
What areas does EGS cover beyond central Hobart?+
Reviews mention completed jobs in Sandy Bay, Launceston, and Campania, so their coverage extends across greater Hobart and into regional Tasmania. Their Google profile lists Hobart, TAS as the base. If your property is outside greater Hobart, it's worth confirming with Jason during the quote stage, as travel availability isn't explicitly addressed in the reviews we reviewed.
What do customers say about EGS pricing compared to other quotes?+
Pricing feedback across the 50 reviews we analysed is consistently positive — one customer got three quotes and described EGS as the cheapest, and another noted their quote was the one that 'smoked all others.' Matt is specifically praised for visiting the site before quoting rather than estimating remotely, which several reviewers say led to accurate final pricing with minimal variation. The business also flags government energy efficiency incentives and interest-free finance options for qualifying jobs.
Who should I expect to deal with — owner or crew — and does the same team show up from quote to install?+
Matt typically handles quotes and product recommendations, and Jason manages scheduling; both are named repeatedly in reviews for clear and timely communication. The install crew — Jacob, Kalvin, Joel, Rowan, and others — are named individually across multiple independent reviews, suggesting a consistent in-house team rather than rotating subcontractors. Plumber Will and technician Connor each appear in enough reviews to suggest they handle their respective trades regularly rather than occasionally.
Does EGS offer servicing and maintenance, or only new installs?+
EGS services and repairs existing systems as well as installing new ones. Reviews mention Connor servicing heat pumps, repairing gas cooktops, and identifying a gas leak during a routine call. One customer had a 15-year-old Daikin heat pump (originally installed by EGS's predecessor Bamfords) serviced successfully. For warranty issues, reviewers note Connor was sent out promptly and took time to explain the repair process and show photos of the work.
