We have taken Mount Martha homes off gas already: wall furnaces, hot water and cooktops replaced, with solar and a battery sized to the result. One plan from the first inspection, and every trade our own.
Home electrification Mount Martha owners ask about usually starts with what the house runs on. Mains gas reaches parts of the suburb and not others, so one home has ducted gas heating and a gas cooktop while the next is on LPG or already mostly electric. Some homes heat with a gas wall furnace in the hallway or living room, while the estate homes more often have ducted gas.
We have done the full switch here on two written-up homes. In one, heating, hot water and cooking all went electric and the gas line was removed, with 15.2kW of solar and a 24.18kWh battery installed in one day, and the monthly bill went from $302 to $148. In the other, a hallway gas wall furnace made way for reverse cycle, an Emerald heat pump took over the hot water and the switchboard was upgraded with every circuit labelled.
Mount Martha also has strong solar uptake, so many homes start with panels already up. Sometimes that array is enough for the electric house, and often it was sized before anyone planned on reverse cycle heating or an EV. We check the roof, the switchboard and the gas appliances together and write one plan, alongside our other work in Mount Martha.
Every swap, the board that feeds them and the roof that powers them, staged or done together.
A wall furnace is usually replaced with Mitsubishi Electric or Hisense split or multi-head systems, a few hours per split. Ducted gas becomes Braemar, Mitsubishi Electric or Hisense ducted reverse cycle on new R1.5 ducts in one to two days, with a Braemar Dominator only where the ducts cannot be replaced.
An Emerald, Reclaim, iStore or Haier heat pump replaces the old unit, normally in one day, and runs on the solar through the middle of the day.
The gas cooktop is often the last gas appliance in the house. Induction goes in on its own circuit at a fixed price, with no rebate to wait on.
Existing solar is checked against the new load and added to or replaced where it falls short. A battery covers the evening and, with a backup gateway, keeps chosen circuits on in an outage. The board is upgraded where needed.
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.
Two of these are in Mount Martha. The third is a double-storey home in Blairgowrie, further down the Peninsula.
Heating, hot water and cooking all electric, and the gas connection gone for good. 32 Jinko panels across two roof planes, a 10kW Sigen hybrid inverter with backup gateway, three SigenStor modules and a new flush-mount switchboard, installed in one day. The independent electrical inspector complimented the work.
The hallway gas wall furnace was decommissioned and replaced with reverse cycle, an indoor wall unit plus two outdoor units each on its own circuit. An Emerald heat pump took over hot water, 29 Jinko panels went on the tile roof and 27.12kWh of SigenStor went in with a backup gateway. The owner found the team "professional and puppy friendly".
A double-storey home rewired from a single-phase board to three phase, then gas heating, hot water and cooking all removed: Mitsubishi Electric split systems, heat pump hot water, induction, 17.1kW of Jinko solar, 32kWh of Sigenergy and a 22kW EV charger.
One inspection sets the order. After that, each stage is a fixed job.
Mains gas, LPG or electric, appliance by appliance, plus the switchboard, the supply and any solar already on the roof.
Usually heating first, hot water next and the cooktop last, with solar and a battery placed where they suit.
Each stage priced with its own incentives off, so you can stage it with no surprises.
Electricians, plumbers and ARC licensed refrigeration technicians, all Powerband staff.
With heating, hot water and cooking electric, you stop paying for a gas connection you no longer use.
There is no single electrification rebate. These are the ones that apply.
Cheaper Home Batteries takes around 30 percent off an approved battery, with no income test. There is no Solar Victoria battery rebate or loan.
Victorian Energy Upgrades discounts on reverse cycle heating and cooling and heat pump hot water, largest when they replace gas. STCs apply to the heat pump too.
STCs on panels, and the Solar Victoria rebate and interest-free loan on panels and inverters for eligible owner-occupiers. Induction and EV chargers have no rebate.
Both written-up Mount Martha electrifications are ours, start to finish.

Usually reverse cycle split or multi-head systems, a few hours per split. That is the route one of the Mount Martha homes on this page took. Reverse cycle heats for around a third of the running cost of gas heating.
Sometimes. We compare it with the load the house will have once heating, hot water and cooking are electric. If it falls short, we add to it or replace it.
Electric heating, hot water and cooking, 15.2kW of solar, a 24.18kWh battery with backup gateway and a new switchboard. That result belongs to that home, and yours will depend on your house and usage.
Yes. The swaps are the same, and you stop ordering bottles once the last LPG appliance goes. We confirm which incentives apply to each appliance at the inspection.
No. One plan, then as many stages as suit you. Each step is designed so the next one connects without rework.
With a backup gateway, a battery can keep chosen circuits running during a grid outage. Both Mount Martha jobs on this page have one.
One inspection, one written plan, and fixed prices for each stage with every incentive already applied. No obligation.
