A-Grade electricians who do the whole job: solar and batteries, reverse cycle heating and cooling, heat pump hot water, induction and EV charging across Altona North, Newport and Spotswood. Free site inspections, fixed quotes, every rebate lodged for you.
Altona North is 1950s to 70s brick veneer on full blocks, plus new townhouse estates on former industrial land. The original homes are almost all on gas, and most of the ducted systems in them were fitted decades ago.
Because Altona North is on mains gas and inside the VEU area, the usual order of works is heating and hot water first for the rebates and the running-cost drop, then solar and a battery sized to the new electric load, then the cooktop, then the gas meter abolished. The west also runs hotter in summer than the bay and eastern suburbs, so the reverse cycle system that replaces the gas heater earns its keep twice a year.
Altona North is about 60 minutes from our Somerville depot. We plan west-side work so one inspection covers the whole house and installs are booked to run to schedule, and everything is done by Powerband employees, not subcontractors, for a fixed after-rebate price.
Ordered by what pays back fastest in Altona North's postwar housing: heating and hot water first, then solar and battery sized to the new electric load.
Original Altona North homes with ducted gas get a reverse cycle unit on new R1.5 insulated ducts, or a Braemar Dominator where the ducts cannot be replaced. The new townhouses usually have splits already and need little more than solar and a battery. Installed by our ARC-licensed technicians, with the VEU discount on the quote.
Most Altona North homes still have a gas storage or instantaneous unit, and when it fails it is usually replaced like for like. The better answer is a heat pump from Reclaim, iStore or Emerald, installed in a day by our plumber and electrician together, with VEU and STCs both applied. It uses about a quarter of the energy and is usually the fastest-paying step off gas.
Original Altona North homes take 6.6kW to 10kW on unshaded roofs. The new estates often came with small systems that are undersized once a heat pump and an EV arrive. We lodge the Solar Victoria rebate and loan and the federal battery discount for you.
A full Altona North electrification is usually heating first, hot water second, then solar and battery sized to the new load, then the cooktop, then the gas meter abolished. Designed once at the first inspection, staged over as many visits as suits you, and every step attracts its own rebates.
Once heating and hot water are electric, the cooktop is the last gas appliance in most Altona North kitchens and the reason the supply charge keeps arriving. We supply and install the induction cooktop, run the dedicated circuit and cap the gas, usually in half a day.

Yes. Altona North is inside the VEU area, so heat pump hot water and reverse cycle heating and cooling both attract discounts, with the largest when you are replacing gas. We apply them on the quote.
Some are and some are not, depending on when the permit was issued. If yours has gas, the hot water and cooktop are the quickest to change, and solar with a battery handles the rest.
Usually within the week. Our depot is in Somerville, about 60 minutes from Altona North, and we plan western suburbs inspections so the drive does not hold your job up.
Nearly all of them. A standard Altona North home takes 6.6kW to 10kW comfortably with little shade. We size to your usage and to whatever gas appliances you are replacing.
All of them. Newport, Spotswood and Kingsville and the rest of Melbourne's western suburbs, and across Melbourne. See the locations page for the full list.
