Solar and batteries, heat pumps, ducted reverse cycle and EV charging, designed as one system and installed by our own A-Grade electricians for Cranbourne homes, 20 minutes from our Somerville base. Rebates applied on the quote.
Cranbourne is one of the City of Casey growth areas, 17 km and about 20 minutes from our Somerville depot. Nearly everything here was built after 2005, which changes the job: the homes are insulated, the switchboards are modern, and since Victoria's all-electric rule for new homes most of the newest builds have no gas at all. The question in Cranbourne is usually solar, battery and EV charging, not gas replacement.
The gas heater and the hot water unit are where a Cranbourne 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 Cranbourne specifics, the fastest answer is a phone call.
For Cranbourne's newer homes the order flips: solar, battery and EV charging first, heat pumps and induction for the earlier estates still on gas.
Solar in Cranbourne is usually about getting it right rather than getting it at all: bigger arrays for the all-electric load, a battery sized to the evening, and an inverter that can take an EV charger. Solar Victoria rebates and loans and the federal battery discount applied.
Solar & Battery across MelbourneNew Cranbourne homes usually have the switchboard capacity for a 7kW single-phase or 11kW three-phase charger without upgrades, and many garages were pre-wired. We install Tesla Wall Connector, Sigenergy or Zappi chargers and set them to charge from your solar.
EV Chargers across MelbourneCranbourne is active building country and new Victorian homes are all-electric. We deliver the electrical fit-out and the full electric package (solar, reverse cycle, heat pump, induction, EV circuit) as one contractor, priced from the plans and installed to the build program.
Builders across MelbourneIn Cranbourne 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 using the ducts already in the roof. 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 MelbourneMost Cranbourne 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 MelbourneA full Cranbourne 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 MelbourneOnce heating and hot water are electric, the cooktop is the last gas appliance in most Cranbourne 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.
Induction Cooktops across MelbourneCranbourne 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.

Yes. Cranbourne 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.
In most Cranbourne 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.
Usually within the week, often sooner. Our depot is in Somerville, about 20 minutes from Cranbourne.
Nearly all of them. A standard Cranbourne home takes 6.6kW to 10kW comfortably, and larger blocks take more. We size to your usage and to whatever gas appliances you are replacing.
All of them. Cranbourne West, Cranbourne East and Cranbourne North and the rest of the South East and Casey area, and across Melbourne. See the locations page for the full list.
