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 Ardeer, Cairnlea and Sunshine West. Free site inspections, fixed quotes, every rebate lodged for you.
Ardeer is a small suburb of 1950s and 60s weatherboard and brick homes between Sunshine West and Deer Park, with townhouse infill on the bigger blocks. The original homes are compact and gas heated, which makes them quick and affordable to take off gas.
Because Ardeer 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.
Ardeer is about 70 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 Ardeer's postwar housing: heating and hot water first, then solar and battery sized to the new electric load.
Most Ardeer homes are heated by a gas wall furnace. Two or three split systems replace it, heat the whole house and add cooling, with the VEU discount applied. Every system is installed by our own ARC-licensed technicians.
Most Ardeer 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.
Ardeer roofs are simple and unshaded, and 6.6kW is typical. With the heating and hot water electric, most of that solar is used in the house. We lodge the Solar Victoria rebate and loan and the federal battery discount for you.
A full Ardeer 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.
The induction swap is the smallest job on this page and the one that finally lets a Ardeer home cancel the gas account. Dedicated circuit, cooktop supplied or yours installed, gas capped by our plumber.

Yes. Ardeer 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.
Compared with most, yes. Compact single-storey homes need fewer split systems and shorter cable runs, and heat pump hot water and induction are one-visit jobs.
Usually within the week. Our depot is in Somerville, about 70 minutes from Ardeer, and we plan western suburbs inspections so the drive does not hold your job up.
Nearly all of them. A standard Ardeer home takes 6.6kW to 10kW comfortably with little shade. We size to your usage and to whatever gas appliances you are replacing.
