What we see in Armadale homes

Armadale is inner Melbourne, City of Stonnington, about 50 minutes from our Somerville depot. The housing is terraces, units and apartment blocks, and a high proportion of it is rented. That shifts our work here toward rental safety checks and compliance, induction changeovers in small kitchens, EV charging in apartment car parks, and split systems where there is no roof space for ducted.

The gas heater and the hot water unit are where a Armadale home's energy money goes, and both are in the Victorian Energy Upgrades area, so replacing them attracts VEU discounts on top of the running-cost saving. Ducted reverse cycle usually connects to the existing ducts, and a heat pump hot water unit goes in on the same day the old tank comes out. Solar Victoria rebates and loans cover the panels and battery that follow.

Everything on this page is done by Powerband employees, not subcontractors, and quoted as a fixed after-rebate price after a free site inspection. For the full picture of how we stage a house off gas, see home electrification; for Armadale specifics, the fastest answer is a phone call.

What we do in Armadale

What Armadale actually needs from an electrician

Rental compliance, induction and apartment EV charging lead in Armadale. Solar is a design question, not a given.

Armadale is largely rental, and we do the two-yearly electrical safety checks Victorian rental providers need, smoke alarm and switchboard compliance, and the gas-to-electric upgrades property managers are increasingly asked for. Per-property reports, tenant access handled by us, per-owner invoicing.

Real Estate across Melbourne

Once heating and hot water are electric, the cooktop is the last gas appliance in most Armadale 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, with the VEU discount applied.

Induction Cooktops across Melbourne

EV charging in Armadale is often an apartment or townhouse question: shared supply, owners corporation approval, load management across bays and per-bay metering. We prepare the technical submission and do the install. Single-driveway terraces are simpler and quoted fixed.

EV Chargers across Melbourne

Replacing a 20-plus-year-old ducted gas heater with a Braemar or Mitsubishi reverse cycle unit on the existing ducts is the job we do most in Armadale. The house gets cooling for the first time, the gas bill drops and the VEU discount comes off the install. Where ducts are not practical, split systems from Panasonic, Mitsubishi or Haier cover the living areas and bedrooms.

Heating & Cooling across Melbourne

Most Armadale homes still have a gas storage tank, and when it fails it is usually replaced like for like without anyone asking the question. 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. About a quarter of the energy, and normally the fastest-paying step off gas.

Hot Water Systems across Melbourne

Solar in Armadale is a design exercise more than a sales one: small, often shaded roofs, heritage streets and shared walls. We work out what is realistic, pair it with a battery where the evening load justifies it, and apply Solar Victoria rebates and loans where you qualify.

Solar & Battery across Melbourne

A full Armadale 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.

Home Electrification across Melbourne

Infill and knockdown-rebuild work is steady across Armadale, and new Victorian homes are all-electric. We provide the electrical fit-out and the complete electric package for builders as one contractor, priced from the plans.

The whole experience of working with Powerband has been fantastic. From the get go they were helpful with the design, requirements and answering all the questions we had about the install. We couldn't be happier with choosing them for the job. Special thanks to Bailey and the team for getting the entire installation done in one day it was a huge job so for it to be done and to such a high standard is much appreciated Thanks everyone at Powerband for all you've done

We have just had a Braemer Dominator reverse cycle ducted system installed by the Powerband Electrical team to replace our gas-fired system. We were very happy with the whole process, from the sales/design discussions with Dayle to the installation by the team led by Julian and including Logan and Darren. Using the existing ducting had its challenges but the team overcame them well. Julian set up the AirTouch5 control system & zoning with us and with a sudden cold snap arriving it has proven simple to use to create a comfortable environment. In fact we are already finding it far more effective system than the considerably larger gas unit and a more uniform heat with less draughts. Thanks to the Powerband team. Ken in Glen Waverley

Petris and his electrical team did 2 inverter airconditioner installs as part of our whole solar system install. Great workers, good thinkers who could sort out a couple of small issues in short order and wonderful people to have around our house. Organised and professional. Highly recommend Powerband.

Had the Powerband team electrify out whole house. Updated the heating / cooling with split systems, replace gas cooktop & hot water and put solar on with a 30kw battery. No gas bill, solar is producing more energy than we consume. These days we barely even have the supply charge. As part of it, they put the package together of what we wanted and needed to future proof our house and showed us several options for paying for it, in the end we opted for a 5-year interest free loan. Looking at our numbers, most of the loan will be paid off from the savings from our gas and electricity savings. All the work and upgrades done and barely any out of pocket cost, nice.... The team were great - worked in with timing for the jobs when it worked for us. The boys on site were all great, friendly, polite and professional. Did the job well and packed up (and cleaned up) well. Happy to recommend Powerband to anyone wanting to electrify their house in a cost-effective way.

FAQ

Armadale questions

Anything else, call 0466 355 441.

Is Armadale eligible for Victorian Energy Upgrades discounts?

Yes. Armadale is inside the VEU area, so heat pump hot water, reverse cycle heating and cooling and induction cooktops all attract discounts, with the largest when you are replacing gas. We apply them on the quote.

Can you replace ducted gas heating in a Armadale home using the existing ducts?

In most Armadale homes, yes. We inspect the ducts and the plenum at the site visit, and if they are sound the reverse cycle unit connects to them. That is the single biggest saving in the job.

How quickly can you get to Armadale for a quote?

Usually within the week, often sooner. Our depot is in Somerville, about 50 minutes from Armadale.

Do Armadale homes have enough roof for solar and a battery?

It varies a lot in Armadale. Terraces and townhouses often take a modest array, apartments usually cannot take an individual system. We tell you honestly what your roof can do before you spend anything.

Which suburbs around Armadale do you cover?

All of them. Malvern, Caulfield North and Toorak and the rest of the Eastern Suburbs area, and across Melbourne. See the locations page for the full list.
