Solar and batteries, heat pumps, reverse cycle and EV charging, designed as one system and installed by our own A-Grade electricians across Braybrook, Maidstone and Sunshine. About 70 minutes from our depot in Somerville, rebates applied before you see the price.
Braybrook is postwar housing commission estates being steadily replaced by townhouses, with the Ballarat Road and Churchill Avenue end changing fastest. Most of our work is either in the original homes, which are small, gas heated and easy to electrify, or in the new builds for the builders doing the infill.
Because Braybrook 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.
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 our home electrification page; for Braybrook specifics, the fastest answer is a phone call.
Ordered by what pays back fastest in Braybrook's postwar housing: heating and hot water first, then solar and battery sized to the new electric load.
Original Braybrook homes are mostly heated by a gas wall furnace. Two or three split systems replace it, heat the whole house and give it cooling for the first time, with the VEU discount on the quote. Every system is installed by our own ARC-licensed technicians.
Heat pump hot water is the easiest electrification win in Braybrook: one visit, old gas or electric tank out, Reclaim, iStore or Emerald 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.
Braybrook roofs are simple and mostly unshaded, and 6.6kW is typical. With heat pump hot water set to run in the middle of the day, most of that solar gets used in the house instead of exported. We lodge the Solar Victoria rebate and loan and the federal battery discount for you.
Taking a Braybrook home off gas is a sequence, not a single job: heating and hot water for the biggest savings, solar and a battery sized to the new electric load, induction last, then the gas meter abolished so the supply charge stops. We plan it at one inspection and quote each step with its rebates.
The induction swap is the smallest job on this page and the one that finally lets a Braybrook home cancel the gas account. Dedicated circuit, cooktop supplied or yours installed, gas capped by our plumber.
