Arthurs SeatWorking in Arthurs Seat
Arthurs Seat is Peninsula hinterland, 25 km and about 30 minutes from Somerville, and most of it has never had mains gas. Acreage, sheds, bottled gas for cooking if anything, often three-phase supply. Electrification here is not about getting off gas, it is about solar and batteries big enough to run the property, heat pump hot water and EV charging that uses what the roof makes.
With no mains gas to remove, the Arthurs Seat plan is about generation and storage: a solar array sized for the property, a battery big enough for the evening and for outages, heat pump hot water timed to the solar, and an EV charger where the cars are. The Solar Victoria rebate and loan (solar panels and inverters) and the federal battery discount all apply, and three-phase supply where it exists opens up larger systems.
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 Arthurs Seat specifics, the fastest answer is a phone call.
