Solar and batteries, heat pumps, ducted reverse cycle and EV charging, designed as one system and installed by our own A-Grade electricians for Box Hill South, VIC 3128. Free site inspections, fixed quotes, every rebate lodged for you.
About 50 minutes from Somerville, Box Hill South is classic City of Whitehorse housing: brick veneer built in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, most of it heated by ducted gas that is now well past its design life. We have worked in Box Hill South and neighbouring Box Hill, Burwood and Blackburn South for years, so we know these houses before we walk in.
Because Box Hill South is on mains gas and inside the VEU area, the typical 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. We plan the whole sequence at the first inspection so nothing has to be redone.
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 Box Hill South specifics, the fastest answer is a phone call.
Ordered by what pays back fastest in Box Hill South's housing: heating and hot water first, then solar and battery sized to the new electric load.
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 Box Hill South. 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 MelbourneHeat pump hot water is the easiest electrification win in Box Hill South: one visit, old gas or electric tank out, Reclaim or iStore heat pump in, gas capped, VEU discount and STCs on the quote. Timed to run through the middle of the day it heats almost entirely on solar.
Hot Water Systems across MelbourneBox Hill South roofs are mostly tile, unshaded and facing somewhere useful, so solar is straightforward. A standard block takes 6.6kW to 10kW; we size to your usage and to the gas appliances you are replacing. Sigenergy, Tesla Powerwall or Sungrow batteries cover the evening peak, and we lodge the Solar Victoria rebate and loan and the federal battery discount for you.

Induction Cooktops across MelbourneBox Hill South has a mix of single and three-phase supply depending on the street and the age of the connection, and the older switchboards often need work before a charger goes in. We check both before quoting a Tesla Wall Connector, Sigenergy or Zappi, and set it to charge from your solar first.
