Solar and batteries, heat pumps, ducted reverse cycle and EV charging, designed as one system and installed by our own A-Grade electricians for Dandenong homes, 30 minutes from our Somerville base. Rebates applied on the quote.
Dandenong sits in the City of Greater Dandenong area, about 27 km and 30 minutes from our Somerville depot, next to Doveton, Dandenong North and Dandenong South. Most of the housing went up between the 1960s and the 1980s: brick veneer on a slab or stumps, a ducted gas heater in the roof and a gas storage tank against the side wall. It is the most common kind of house we electrify, and the one where the savings are largest.
Because Dandenong 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.
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 Dandenong specifics, the fastest answer is a phone call.
Ordered by what pays back fastest in Dandenong's housing: heating and hot water first, then solar and battery sized to the new electric load.
Replacing a 20-plus-year-old ducted gas heater with a Braemar or Mitsubishi reverse cycle unit on the existing ducts is the job we do most in Dandenong. The house gets cooling for the first time, the gas bill drops and the VEU discount comes off the install. Where ducts are not practical, split systems from Panasonic, Mitsubishi or Haier cover the living areas and bedrooms.
Heating & Cooling across MelbourneMost Dandenong 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 typical Dandenong brick veneer has room for 6.6kW to 13kW of panels and the evening load to justify a battery. We design from your bills, install with our own CEC-accredited electricians and apply every Victorian and federal incentive on the quote.
Solar & Battery across MelbourneA full Dandenong 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 MelbourneThe induction swap is the smallest job on this page and the one that finally lets a Dandenong home cancel the gas account. Dedicated 32A circuit, cooktop supplied or yours installed, gas capped by our plumber, VEU discount on the quote.
Induction Cooktops across MelbourneEV charging in Dandenong starts with the switchboard. Many of the 1970s boards need a breaker or RCD upgrade for a 32A charger circuit, which we include in the fixed price. Solar-aware charging is set up on the day.
EV Chargers across MelbourneDandenong 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. Dandenong 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 Dandenong 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 30 minutes from Dandenong.
