One licensed crew for solar, batteries, heating and cooling, hot water, induction and EV charging for Braeside, VIC 3195. Free site inspections, fixed quotes, every rebate lodged for you.
About 30 minutes up the bay from Somerville, Braeside has the mix we expect in City of Kingston: period homes, 60s brick and a steady run of renovations and knockdown rebuilds. Roofs are large, gas is everywhere in the older stock, and salt air makes the choice of outdoor units matter more than it does inland.
The gas heater and the hot water unit are where a Braeside home's energy money goes, and both are in the Victorian Energy Upgrades area, so replacing them attracts VEU discounts on top of the running-cost saving. Ducted reverse cycle usually connects to the existing ducts, and a heat pump hot water unit goes in on the same day the old tank comes out. Solar Victoria rebates and loans cover the panels and battery that follow.
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 Braeside specifics, the fastest answer is a phone call.
Big roofs and high evening usage put solar and battery first in Braeside, with the gas heating swap close behind.
Large roofs and high evening usage make Braeside a strong battery suburb. We check heritage and character overlays before designing panel placement, specify salt-rated hardware for the bayside air, and size the battery to your actual usage. Sigenergy, Tesla Powerwall and Sungrow, with all rebates lodged.
Solar & Battery across MelbourneReplacing 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 Braeside. 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 MelbourneA full Braeside 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.
Home Electrification across MelbourneHeat pump hot water is the easiest electrification win in Braeside: 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 MelbourneOlder Braeside homes often need a switchboard check before a charger, and detached garages can mean a longer cable run. We quote it all as one fixed price and integrate the charger with your solar so the car fills from the roof.
EV Chargers across MelbourneOnce heating and hot water are electric, the cooktop is the last gas appliance in most Braeside kitchens and the reason the supply charge keeps arriving. We supply and install the induction cooktop, run the dedicated circuit and cap the gas, usually in half a day, with the VEU discount applied.

In most Braeside homes, yes. We inspect the ducts and the plenum at the site visit, and if they are sound the reverse cycle unit connects to them. That is the single biggest saving in the job.
