Reverse cycle heating, heat pump hot water and induction in place of bottles and wood, with solar on the house or shed and a battery to carry the evening and the water pump. One plan, every trade our own.
Most electrification pages talk about taking a house off mains gas. On many Cranbourne South properties there is no mains gas to begin with. Heating is LPG, a wood fire or split systems that have been on the wall a long time, hot water runs on bottles or an element tank, and cooking is on LPG. The goal is the same, though: every appliance on electricity, and as much of that electricity as possible from your own roof.
Acreage makes that easier than in town. A machinery shed often has a long, clear roof that takes far more panels than the house, many blocks are on three-phase, and there is room for a large battery on a pad or garage wall. On tank water, the battery matters more, because a pressure pump on backup means the taps keep running in a blackout. Home electrification Cranbourne South style is as much about the supply as the appliances.
The residential streets and lifestyle villages are simpler: conventional homes with a switchboard in the usual place and, in the villages, management rules on outdoor equipment. Wherever you are, we inspect once, check the board and supply first, and write one plan. Read about the other work we do in Cranbourne South.
Four pieces of work, planned together and done in whatever order suits the property.
Multi-head Mitsubishi Electric or Hisense systems for spread-out homesteads, or Braemar, Mitsubishi Electric or Hisense ducted on new R1.5 insulated ducts where there is a roof space, typically one to two days. Splits for studios and offices take a few hours each.
Emerald, Reclaim, iStore or Haier in place of an LPG or element tank, normally in one day, timed to heat on daytime solar.
An induction cooktop on its own circuit. With heating and hot water already electric, that is usually the end of LPG deliveries.
Panels on the house or shed roof, a three-phase or single-phase hybrid inverter, a battery sized to the property, and the pressure pump, fridge and lights on backup. An EV charger fits the same plan.
The full range is on our products page.
Ducted reverse cycle on new R1.5 ducts, or split systems, in place of ducted gas or a wall furnace.
A heat pump in place of the gas storage or instantaneous unit, usually changed over in one day.
The last gas appliance in most kitchens, replaced with induction on its own circuit.
Solar and storage sized for the new electric load, with an EV charger on the same system.
None of these is in Cranbourne South. Langwarrin and Berwick are close by. Blairgowrie shows a single-phase home rewired to three phase.
A busy family home in Langwarrin with 21.85kW of Jinko solar, 45.2kWh of Sigenergy storage behind an upgraded switchboard, a 270L iStore heat pump and an EV charger, all designed as one system.
A five-bedroom all-electric home with 13.775kW of solar, a 40.3kWh battery and a three-phase EV charger. On one of the hottest days of the year it drew almost nothing from the grid.
A double-storey home on a single-phase board was rewired to three phase. Gas heating, hot water and cooking all went: Mitsubishi Electric splits, heat pump hot water, induction, 17.1kW of Jinko, 32kWh of Sigenergy and a 22kW EV charger.
The house, the sheds, the supply and every fuel you pay for, in one visit.
LPG bottles, firewood, electricity and what each one runs, from the heater to the pump.
Single or three-phase, the main board, sub-boards in sheds and the distances between them.
House and shed roofs assessed for solar, with cable runs priced.
Each stage priced with its incentive, in the order that suits your property and budget.
Electricians, plumbers and refrigeration technicians, all Powerband employees.
There is no single electrification rebate. Each swap has its own scheme, or none.
Federal, around 30 percent off an approved battery, no income test. On the large batteries common here it is a big line on the quote.
Victorian Energy Upgrades discounts apply to reverse cycle heating and cooling and heat pump hot water, and STCs also apply to the heat pump. The amount depends on what is replaced. See heating and cooling in Cranbourne South.
Rebate and interest-free loan on panels and inverters for eligible owner-occupiers, plus STCs. Induction and EV chargers carry no rebate.
Our depot in Somerville is surrounded by sheds, horse properties and three-phase supply.
We are electricians first, so the board, phases and cable runs are sorted before the appliances.
REC 32300, ARC licensed AU 065299, BPC 132072 and SAA accredited. Nothing subcontracted.
Pressure pump circuits checked against the inverter and tested before we leave.
More than 5,000 Melbourne homes started on electrification and over 20 years in the trade.

Questions on home electrification Cranbourne South owners ask. Call 0466 355 441 for anything else.
It ends LPG deliveries and most of the firewood, and puts heating, hot water and cooking on the meter, which solar and a battery can largely cover.
Yes. Some owners keep it for the odd cold night and let reverse cycle do the daily heating.
If the pump is on a backup circuit, yes. We check its starting current against the inverter's backup rating and test it at handover.
Ducted on new R1.5 ducts suits a single-level home with a usable roof space. A multi-head suits homes with wings, extensions or raked ceilings.
Yes, for larger ducted units, three-phase EV charging and big inverters. If you are on single-phase, we tell you whether an upgrade is worth it.
Yes, within the village rules on outdoor units and panels. We check with management before quoting.
One site walk covers the house, sheds and supply. You get a written plan with a fixed price per stage and the incentives shown. No obligation.
