Off gas in Caroline Springs, one step at a time

Caroline Springs is a 2000s master-planned suburb around Lake Caroline, mostly large brick veneer homes, many double storey, with zoned ducted gas and gas hot water. Roofs are big and unshaded, and a lot of homes have a small early solar system that is now undersized.

Because Caroline Springs is inside the VEU area and most homes here were connected to gas, the usual order is solar and a battery sized properly, then reverse cycle and a heat pump to replace the gas heating and hot water, then induction, then the gas meter abolished. Flat, unshaded western roofs make the solar side of that especially good value.

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 Caroline Springs specifics, the fastest answer is a phone call.

What we do in Caroline Springs

Solar, EV and the all-electric package for Caroline Springs

For Caroline Springs's newer homes the order flips: solar, battery and EV charging first, then reverse cycle and heat pumps to replace the gas the estate was built with.

Caroline Springs roofs take 6.6kW to 13kW. We upgrade undersized early systems, size the new array to the electric load and pair it with a Sigenergy, Tesla or GoodWe battery. We lodge the Solar Victoria rebate and loan and the federal battery discount for you.

  • Early systems upgraded
  • Sigenergy, Tesla Powerwall, GoodWe
  • Federal battery discount applied

Caroline Springs ducted gas systems are now 15 to 20-plus years old. A zoned reverse cycle unit on new R1.5 insulated ducts replaces the heating and adds cooling for the west's hot summers. Installed by our ARC-licensed technicians, with the VEU discount on the quote.

  • Zoned ducted reverse cycle
  • Replaces gas heating and evaporative
  • VEU discount on the quote
Heating & Cooling across Melbourne

Heat pump hot water is the easiest electrification win in Caroline Springs: 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.

  • Reclaim, iStore, Emerald
  • One-day changeover
  • VEU and STCs applied
Hot Water Systems across Melbourne

Taking a Caroline Springs 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 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

Caroline Springs questions

Anything else, call 0466 355 441.

Is Caroline Springs eligible for Victorian Energy Upgrades discounts?

Yes. Caroline Springs 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.

Should I replace or add to my old Caroline Springs solar system?

It depends on the inverter and panel condition. Early systems were often 1.5kW to 3kW. We check what you have and tell you whether adding, replacing or leaving it makes more sense.

How quickly can you get to Caroline Springs for a quote?

Usually within the week. Our depot is in Somerville, about 80 minutes from Caroline Springs, and we plan western suburbs inspections so the drive does not hold your job up.

Is the solar that came with my Caroline Springs home big enough?

Usually not once heating, hot water or an EV go electric. Builder-supplied systems are often 2kW to 5kW. We check your system and usage and tell you whether to add panels, replace it or add a battery.

Which suburbs around Caroline Springs do you cover?

All of them. Deer Park, Cairnlea and St Albans and the rest of Melbourne's western suburbs, and across Melbourne. See the locations page for the full list.
