Eltham North

Eltham North, from the switchboard up

Eltham North is in the Nillumbik Shire foothills, about 70 minutes from Somerville. Sloping blocks, tree cover and homes from the 70s through the 90s, most of them on ducted gas or an old wood heater. Shade is the design problem for solar here, so we spend more time on panel placement and optimisers in Eltham North than almost anywhere else, and reverse cycle heating is the biggest win for the cold winters.

Most Eltham North properties skip the gas conversation entirely and go straight to the question that matters: how much solar and battery does this place need to run itself. We size for the real load, including sheds and pumps, and we configure backup circuits properly because power outages are a fact of life out here.

Eltham North 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 Eltham North

Heating and solar, designed for Eltham North

Cold winters and shaded roofs set the order in Eltham North: reverse cycle heating first, then solar designed around the trees.

Wood heaters and old gas space heaters are common in Eltham North, and reverse cycle is the efficient replacement for both: heating in winter, cooling in summer, and it runs on the solar. Ducted where the roof space allows, splits or multi-head where it does not, all ARC-authorised and VEU-discounted.

Heating & Cooling across Melbourne

Shade from established trees is the design problem for solar in Eltham North, and it is why we specify SolarEdge optimisers or careful string design here more than anywhere else. Get the layout right and the hills produce well. Batteries with backup are popular for the outages that come with the trees.

Solar & Battery across Melbourne

Longer driveways and detached carports in Eltham North mean longer cable runs, and the older boards often need work. We quote the whole thing fixed, and with the solar and battery systems common up here the charger is set to fill the car from the roof.

EV Chargers across Melbourne

Eltham North 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.

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

Eltham North questions

Anything else, call 0466 355 441.

Is Eltham North eligible for Victorian Energy Upgrades discounts?

Yes. Eltham North 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 Eltham North on mains gas?

Mostly not. Most Eltham North 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 Eltham North for a quote?

Usually within the week, often sooner. Our depot is in Somerville, about 70 minutes from Eltham North.

Do Eltham North homes have enough roof for solar and a battery?

Usually, but shade is the issue in Eltham North. We design panel placement from a site visit and use optimisers where trees make a difference.

Which suburbs around Eltham North do you cover?

All of them. Eltham, Diamond Creek and Research and the rest of the Banyule and North East area, and across Melbourne. See the locations page for the full list.
