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 Avondale Heights, Maidstone and Maribyrnong. Free site inspections, fixed quotes, every rebate lodged for you.
Avondale Heights is mostly 1970s brick veneer, much of it on sloping blocks above the Maribyrnong River, with larger homes than the suburbs around it. Nearly all were built with ducted gas and gas hot water, and many still have both.
Because Avondale Heights 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.
Avondale Heights 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.
The order below is the order that pays back fastest in Avondale Heights's brick veneer: ducted heating and hot water first, then solar and battery sized to the new electric load, then the rest.
The typical Avondale Heights job is a ducted reverse cycle unit on new R1.5 insulated ducts, replacing a gas heater that has done 30 or more winters. Split level homes sometimes need zoning, which we design at the inspection. Installed by our ARC-licensed technicians, with the VEU discount on the quote.
Most Avondale Heights 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.
Avondale Heights roofs are larger than average and mostly unshaded, so 6.6kW to 13kW is typical. A battery suits the evening load of a bigger home. We lodge the Solar Victoria rebate and loan and the federal battery discount for you.
A full Avondale Heights 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 Avondale Heights home cancel the gas account. Dedicated circuit, cooktop supplied or yours installed, gas capped by our plumber.
