Reverse cycle split systems, multi-head and ducted on new R1.5 ducts for Blairgowrie homes, with outdoor units chosen for salt air. ARC licensed technicians and A-Grade electricians, one company from start to finish.
Most Blairgowrie homes still carry gas somewhere: a ducted heater or a space heater in the lounge, a storage tank for hot water and a cooktop. Each one is a separate bill line and a separate thing to fail. The job we are asked about most here is not just a new heater, but how to get the whole house off gas in a sensible order.
The double-storey Blairgowrie home on this page is a good example. It ran gas heating, gas hot water and gas cooking on a single-phase board that could not take another circuit. We rewired it to three phase, added solar and a battery, and replaced the heating with Mitsubishi Electric split systems, alongside heat pump hot water and induction cooking. One team did every stage.
Heating is usually the biggest part of that change. For two-storey homes, split systems or a multi-head on each level are often simpler than ducts. For single-storey homes with roof space, ducted reverse cycle on new R1.5 insulated ducts heats and cools every room. Either way the outdoor units are placed and specified for the salt. More on our Blairgowrie work.
Braemar, Mitsubishi Electric and Hisense, AirTouch 5 for zoning. Refrigeration, electrical and mechanical work all done in-house.
In two-storey homes a wall unit in each main living space and the bedrooms that need it is often the cleanest answer. No ducts through the floors, and each unit takes a few hours to install.
One outdoor unit running several indoor heads suits beach houses with a few bedrooms, keeping just one condenser outside where space and salt exposure are a concern.
For single-storey homes with a usable roof space. The gas heater and old ducts are removed and new R1.5 insulated ducts are run to each room. Typically one to two days on site, with AirTouch 5 zoning.
Sheltered positions away from direct spray, corrosion-protected coils and fixings, and clear access for cleaning. We plan this before the brand and capacity are chosen.
The full range is on our products page.
Ducted reverse cycle, including the Dominator for homes where the existing ducts have to stay.
Ducted units for tight roof spaces, plus split and multi-head systems.
Ducted and split systems, with anti-corrosive Golden Fin coils on the ducted range.
Zoning control for ducted systems, with a sensor in each zone and control from your phone.
One is in Blairgowrie. The other two show how we plan zoning for a whole house.
Gas heating, hot water and cooking replaced with Mitsubishi Electric split systems, heat pump hot water and induction, after a rewire to three phase. Solar and a battery now carry the load.
In Narre Warren South a 23.5kW ducted system went through the whole house on R1.5 insulated ductwork, with 16 round outlets split into six AirTouch 5 zones.
In Doreen, north of Melbourne, gas ducted heating, gas hot water and a gas cooktop were all replaced in one job: 23.5kW ducted reverse cycle with seven zones, a heat pump hot water unit and induction.
Split systems take a few hours each. Ducted reverse cycle on new ducts is typically one to two days.
Heating, hot water, cooking and anything else. We work out what to change first and whether the supply and switchboard can carry it.
Two-storey homes, raked ceilings and the room for ducts all decide between splits, multi-head and ducted.
Brands, capacities, outdoor unit positions, any electrical upgrade and the VEU discount, in one price.
Refrigeration, electrical and any duct work done by Powerband staff, with old gas heating removed.
Wi-Fi control or AirTouch 5 configured so you can warm the house before you arrive.
One discount on the install, and lower running costs from the first winter.
A reverse cycle system running on a sunny afternoon uses your own solar, and a battery carries some into the evening. See solar and batteries in Blairgowrie.
Reverse cycle heating that replaces gas heating attracts the largest VEU discount. The amount depends on the heater coming out and the system going in, and it is shown on your quote.
Once heating, hot water and cooking are electric, the gas supply charge stops. For a second home that sits empty much of the year, that charge adds up.
Heating, hot water, cooking, solar and the switchboard, planned and installed by one company.
The job on this page went from three gas appliances to none, with every stage run by our team.

We do not push ducted into a two-storey home if wall units will do the job better for less.
Blairgowrie is about 50 minutes from Somerville. We plan the work so the crew arrives once, with everything.

Usually split systems or a multi-head, with units in the main living areas on each floor and the bedrooms that need them. Ducted reverse cycle suits single-storey homes with roof space better.
You can, as the Blairgowrie job on this page did, or in stages. Doing it together means one switchboard check and one set of electrical work. We will suggest an order that suits your budget.
Yes. Split systems and multi-heads come with Wi-Fi control, and ducted systems use AirTouch 5, so you can warm the house from Melbourne.
Usually not. Old gas ducts are often damaged or poorly insulated, so we replace them with R1.5 insulated ducts. A Braemar Dominator that keeps existing ducts is used only where they cannot be replaced.
It can, which is why we place units out of direct spray, specify corrosion-protected coils and leave room to rinse them. A unit a few streets back from the water is a standard install.
Often, but it depends on the property and the heater being replaced. We check your address and the existing system before quoting and show any discount on the quote.
We look at each floor, the roof space and the switchboard, then quote the system and after-VEU price in writing. No obligation.
