What we see in Corinella homes

40 minutes from Somerville, Corinella is where a lot of our Peninsula work is. Coastal homes, strong solar, owners who want a battery and backup for the outages that come with the wind. Gas is reticulated in parts of Corinella and not others, so the electrification plan starts with checking what the house actually runs on.

With no mains gas to remove, the Corinella plan is about generation and storage: a solar array sized for the property, a battery big enough for the evening and for outages, heat pump hot water timed to the solar, and an EV charger where the cars are. Solar Victoria rebates and loans and the federal battery discount all apply, and three-phase supply where it exists opens up larger systems.

Corinella is regular territory for our crews, and a site inspection there is usually within the week. We design every job as one system, so the solar is sized for the heat pump it will run and the switchboard is checked before the EV charger is quoted.

What we do in Corinella

Solar, batteries and the rest, for Corinella

High solar uptake means batteries and upgrades lead in Corinella, with heating, hot water and EV following.

Coastal Corinella roofs get plenty of sun and plenty of salt. We specify hardware for it, design for the wind loading, and size the battery for both the evening peak and blackout backup, which matters more on the Peninsula than in the suburbs.

Solar & Battery across Melbourne

Corinella winters are cold and a lot of the houses heat with wood or bottled gas. Reverse cycle from Braemar, Mitsubishi or Hisense heats for a fraction of the cost and cools in summer. We size it to the house, not the brochure, and the VEU discount applies.

Heating & Cooling across Melbourne

For Corinella properties a heat pump hot water unit is usually the second thing we install after solar, because it turns midday generation that would otherwise be exported into the hot water you use at night. Reclaim, iStore, Emerald or Haier, VEU and STCs applied.

Hot Water Systems across Melbourne

Plenty of Corinella homes are second homes with the car arriving Friday night, which makes scheduled and solar-aware charging worth setting up properly. Tesla Wall Connector, Sigenergy or Zappi, switchboard checked, salt-rated where it is exposed.

EV Chargers across Melbourne

Corinella has a steady rental market, and we do the two-yearly electrical safety checks Victorian rental providers need, smoke alarm and switchboard compliance, and the heat pump and split system upgrades landlords are asked for. Per-property reports and tenant access handled by us.

Real Estate across Melbourne

Infill and knockdown-rebuild work is steady across Corinella, and new Victorian homes are all-electric. We provide the electrical fit-out and the complete electric package for builders as one contractor, priced from the plans.

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

Corinella questions

Anything else, call 0466 355 441.

Is Corinella eligible for Victorian Energy Upgrades discounts?

Yes. Corinella is inside the VEU area, so heat pump hot water, reverse cycle heating and cooling and induction cooktops all attract discounts, with the largest when you are replacing gas. We apply them on the quote.

Is Corinella on mains gas?

Mostly not. Most Corinella properties run on electricity with bottled gas for cooking at most, so electrification here is about solar, battery and heat pumps rather than gas removal. We confirm what your property has at the inspection.

How quickly can you get to Corinella for a quote?

Usually within the week, often sooner. Our depot is in Somerville, about 40 minutes from Corinella.

Do you install batteries in Corinella?

Yes. Sigenergy, Tesla Powerwall and Sungrow, sized to your evening load, with backup circuits configured. Solar Victoria battery rebates and loans and the federal battery discount are applied on the quote.

Which suburbs around Corinella do you cover?

All of them. Coronet Bay, Grantville and Bass and the rest of the Bass Coast and Phillip Island area, and across Melbourne. See the locations page for the full list.
