Crib Point

The Crib Point job, house by house

In Crib Point the houses are on acres, the supply is often three-phase and the gas, if there is any, comes in a bottle. It is about 19 minutes from our Somerville depot and a big part of our work there is large solar and battery systems with backup, because the grid on the hinterland goes down more than it should.

Because Crib Point is on mains gas and inside the VEU area, the typical 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. We plan the whole sequence at the first inspection so nothing has to be redone.

Crib Point 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 Crib Point

Running a Crib Point property on its own roof

With little or no mains gas, Crib Point is about generation and storage first, then the appliances that run on it.

Crib Point properties usually have the roof and the three-phase supply for bigger systems than the suburbs. We size for the real load including outbuildings, configure backup properly because the grid out here is unreliable, and lodge every incentive.

Solar & Battery across Melbourne

Most Crib Point 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 Melbourne

Replacing a 20-plus-year-old ducted gas heater with ducted reverse cycle on new R1.5 insulated ducts is the job we do most in Crib Point. The house gets cooling for the first time, the gas bill drops and the VEU discount comes off the install. Where the ducts cannot be replaced, a Braemar Dominator keeps them and controls the airflow, and where ducted is not practical, Mitsubishi Electric or Hisense split systems cover the living areas and bedrooms.

Heating & Cooling across Melbourne

A full Crib Point 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 Melbourne

Three-phase supply on Crib Point acreage means 11kW to 22kW charging is realistic, and with a large solar and battery system the car runs on the property's own generation. Sigenergy DC charging suits these setups well.

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.
