What we see in Balnarring homes

In Balnarring the houses are on acres, the supply is often three-phase and the gas, if there is any, comes in a bottle. It is about 20 minutes from our Somerville depot and a big part of our work there is large solar and battery systems with backup, because the grid on the hinterland goes down more than it should.

Most Balnarring properties skip the gas conversation entirely and go straight to the question that matters: how much solar and battery does this place need to run itself. We size for the real load, including sheds and pumps, and we configure backup circuits properly because power outages are a fact of life out here.

We have been working in Balnarring and around Balnarring Beach, Merricks North and Merricks Beach for years. Site inspections are free, the quote is fixed with every rebate already applied, and the same in-house crew does the electrical, refrigeration and plumbing. If you are weighing up where to start, our home electrification page walks through the order, or call and we will tell you straight for your house.

What we do in Balnarring

Running a Balnarring property on its own roof

With little or no mains gas, Balnarring is about generation and storage first, then the appliances that run on it.

On Balnarring acreage the question is how much solar and battery it takes to run the property, sheds and pumps included, and often the answer is a three-phase system with a large battery and full backup. Sigenergy's modular stack suits this well, and Solar Victoria’s panel and inverter rebate and loan, plus the federal battery discount, all apply.

Solar & Battery across Melbourne

For Balnarring properties a heat pump hot water unit is usually the second thing we install after solar, because it turns midday generation that would otherwise be exported into the hot water you use at night. Reclaim, iStore, Emerald or Haier, VEU and STCs applied.

Hot Water Systems across Melbourne

Three-phase supply on Balnarring acreage means 11kW to 22kW charging is realistic, and with a large solar and battery system the car runs on the property's own generation. Sigenergy DC charging suits these setups well.

EV Chargers across Melbourne

Infill and knockdown-rebuild work is steady across Balnarring, 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.

Builders across Melbourne

Balnarring has a steady rental market, and we do the two-yearly electrical safety checks Victorian rental providers need, smoke alarm and switchboard compliance, and the heat pump and split system upgrades landlords are asked for. Per-property reports and tenant access handled by us.

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

Balnarring questions

Anything else, call 0466 355 441.

Is Balnarring eligible for Victorian Energy Upgrades discounts?

Yes. Balnarring 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.

Is Balnarring on mains gas?

Mostly not. Most Balnarring properties run on electricity with bottled gas for cooking at most, so electrification here is about solar, battery and heat pumps rather than gas removal. We confirm what your property has at the inspection.

How quickly can you get to Balnarring for a quote?

Usually within the week, often sooner. Our depot is in Somerville, about 20 minutes from Balnarring.

Do you install batteries in Balnarring?

Yes. Sigenergy, Tesla Powerwall and Sungrow, sized to your evening load, with backup circuits configured. The Solar Victoria rebate and loan for solar panels and inverters, and the federal battery discount, are applied on the quote.

Which suburbs around Balnarring do you cover?

All of them. Balnarring Beach, Merricks North and Merricks Beach and the rest of the Mornington Peninsula area, and across Melbourne. See the locations page for the full list.
