Solar and batteries, heat pumps, ducted reverse cycle and EV charging, designed as one system and installed by our own A-Grade electricians for Carrum homes, 20 minutes from our Somerville base. Rebates applied on the quote.
Carrum is City of Kingston bayside, about 20 minutes from our Somerville depot along the Nepean Highway. The housing is older and more varied than the outer suburbs: interwar and 1950s homes, plenty of them renovated and extended, on generous blocks with good roof area. Gas heating is near universal in the originals, and heritage or neighbourhood character overlays affect where panels can go on some streets, which we check before quoting.
The gas heater and the hot water unit are where a Carrum 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 goes in with new R1.5 insulated ducts, and a heat pump hot water unit goes in on the same day the old tank comes out. The Solar Victoria rebate and loan cover the solar panels and inverter, and the federal battery discount covers the battery.
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 Carrum specifics, the fastest answer is a phone call.
Big roofs and high evening usage put solar and battery first in Carrum, with the gas heating swap close behind.
Large roofs and high evening usage make Carrum 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 MelbourneIn Carrum the ducted gas heaters are reaching the end of their lives together, and every one of them is a candidate for a reverse cycle swap, usually with new R1.5 insulated ducts. ARC-authorised technicians, VEU discount applied, and for the smaller homes and units a split system or multi-head does the job for less.
Heating & Cooling across MelbourneA full Carrum 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 MelbourneMost Carrum homes still have a gas storage tank, and when it fails it is usually replaced like for like without anyone asking the question. The better answer is a heat pump from Reclaim, iStore or Emerald, installed in a day by our plumber and electrician together, with VEU and STCs both applied. About a quarter of the energy, and normally the fastest-paying step off gas.
Hot Water Systems across MelbourneOlder Carrum 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 MelbourneThe induction swap is the smallest job on this page and the one that finally lets a Carrum home cancel the gas account. Dedicated 32A circuit, cooktop supplied or yours installed, gas capped by our plumber.

Yes. Carrum 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.
Usually the ducted heater or the hot water unit, whichever is older. Both carry the largest running costs and the largest VEU discounts, and both are one-visit jobs.
Usually within the week, often sooner. Our depot is in Somerville, about 20 minutes from Carrum.
