A-Grade electricians who do the whole job: solar and batteries, reverse cycle heating and cooling, heat pump hot water, induction and EV charging across Essendon, Moonee Ponds and Ascot Vale. Free site inspections, fixed quotes, every rebate lodged for you.
Essendon is Federation homes, Californian bungalows and substantial interwar brick houses on bigger blocks than the inner west, with heritage overlays across many streets. A lot of these homes were renovated in the 80s and 90s with ducted gas, and those systems are the most common starting point for our work.
Because Essendon is on mains gas and inside the VEU area, the usual 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. The west also runs hotter in summer than the bay and eastern suburbs, so the reverse cycle system that replaces the gas heater earns its keep twice a year.
Essendon is about 70 minutes from our Somerville depot. We plan west-side work so one inspection covers the whole house and installs are booked to run to schedule, and everything is done by Powerband employees, not subcontractors, for a fixed after-rebate price.
No ducts, small roofs and heritage streets set the order in Essendon: split systems and heat pump hot water first, then solar on the right roof plane, then the rest.
The typical Essendon job is replacing an ageing ducted gas heater with ducted reverse cycle, on new R1.5 insulated ducts, or a Braemar Dominator where the ducts cannot be replaced. Period homes without ducts get split systems or a multi-head. Installed by our ARC-licensed technicians, with the VEU discount on the quote.
Most Essendon homes still have a gas storage or instantaneous unit, and when it fails it is usually replaced like for like. 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. It uses about a quarter of the energy and is usually the fastest-paying step off gas.
Essendon's bigger roofs take 6.6kW to 13kW, and heritage overlays push panels to the rear and side planes. A battery is well suited to the evening load of a larger home. We lodge the Solar Victoria rebate and loan and the federal battery discount for you.
Once heating and hot water are electric, the cooktop is the last gas appliance in most Essendon kitchens and the reason the supply charge keeps arriving. We supply and install the induction cooktop and run the dedicated circuit, usually in half a day.
Induction Cooktops across MelbourneA full Essendon 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.

Yes. Essendon is inside the VEU area, so heat pump hot water and reverse cycle heating and cooling both attract discounts, with the largest when you are replacing gas. We apply them on the quote.
Usually. It replaces the gas heating, adds cooling to every room and runs cheaply on solar. We check the ducts and zoning at the inspection and quote the whole job with the VEU discount applied.
Usually within the week. Our depot is in Somerville, about 70 minutes from Essendon, and we plan western suburbs inspections so the drive does not hold your job up.
Most take 3kW to 6.6kW on a rear-facing plane, which is enough to run a heat pump and split systems through the day. The battery mounts on a wall, so it needs no roof at all.
All of them. Moonee Ponds, Ascot Vale and Niddrie and the rest of Melbourne's western suburbs, and across Melbourne. See the locations page for the full list.
