Solar and batteries, heat pumps, ducted reverse cycle and EV charging, designed as one system and installed by our own A-Grade electricians for Emerald, VIC 3782. Free site inspections, fixed quotes, every rebate lodged for you.
About 50 minutes from our depot, Emerald is hills country: bigger blocks, gums over the roof, and houses that were built for gas or wood heating. We design solar around the shade rather than pretending it is not there, and we replace a lot of ageing gas ducted systems with reverse cycle in Emerald and neighbouring Menzies Creek, Cockatoo and Selby.
With no mains gas to remove, the Emerald 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.
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 Emerald specifics, the fastest answer is a phone call.
Cold winters and shaded roofs set the order in Emerald: reverse cycle heating first, then solar designed around the trees.
Wood heaters and old gas space heaters are common in Emerald, 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 MelbourneSolar in Emerald means designing around gums, dormers and pitched roofs. Optimisers where they earn their keep, panel placement from a site visit not a satellite guess, and a battery with backup circuits because the power drops out more often up here.
Solar & Battery across MelbourneFor Emerald 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 MelbourneFor Emerald properties the electrification plan is generation first: solar and battery big enough for the house and the sheds, then the appliances that run on it. One design, one crew, every rebate applied.
Home Electrification across MelbourneLonger driveways and detached carports in Emerald 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 MelbourneInduction in a Emerald kitchen usually means no more bottled gas at all. We supply and install the cooktop, run the circuit from the switchboard and cap or remove the gas line, with the VEU discount where eligible.

Yes. Emerald 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.
Mostly not. Most Emerald 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.
Usually within the week, often sooner. Our depot is in Somerville, about 50 minutes from Emerald.
Usually, but shade is the issue in Emerald. We design panel placement from a site visit and use optimisers where trees make a difference.
