A split system for the lounge, a multi-head for a unit, or ducted reverse cycle on new R1.5 insulated ducts for the whole house. Mitsubishi Electric, Hisense and Braemar, installed by our own ARC licensed technicians and A-Grade electricians.
Plenty of Frankston North homes were built with a single source of heat: a gas heater in the living room, with the bedrooms left to an electric blanket and a closed door. Some have had ducted gas added since, others a wall unit that is now well past its best. None of these cool the house, and on a hot north wind a small single-storey home with a low roof heats up quickly and holds that heat overnight.
Reverse cycle deals with both seasons from one appliance, and it heats at around a third of the running cost of gas heating. The usual first step here is a correctly sized split system in the main living area, which is installed in a few hours. A multi-head adds the bedrooms to one outdoor unit, which suits units and small homes where there is only one sensible spot outside for equipment.
Where the home has a usable roof space and the owners want every room done, ducted reverse cycle on new R1.5 insulated ducts is the whole-house answer, typically one to two days on site. We price the options side by side so you can choose, and the rest of what we do locally is on the Frankston North page.
Mitsubishi Electric and Hisense wall units, Braemar ducted systems and AirTouch 5 zoning. Refrigeration, electrical and mechanical work all done by our own staff.
The quickest improvement for most homes here. A wall unit sized to the room it has to heat, placed so the air reaches the hallway, with the outdoor unit on a bracket or pad and a dedicated circuit from the switchboard.
One outdoor unit running two to four indoor heads, so the lounge and each bedroom have their own settings without filling a small courtyard with equipment. Useful where owners corporation rules limit what goes on outside walls.
For homes with a roof space you can work in. A ducted unit is installed, new R1.5 insulated ducts are run to each room, and an AirTouch 5 controller divides the house into zones. Typically one to two days on site.
For landlords replacing an old gas heater or a failed wall unit, between tenancies or with tenants in place. We arrange access through you or your agent, quote in writing and leave the household with simple instructions for the controller.
The full range is on our products page.
Ducted reverse cycle, including the Dominator for homes where the existing ducts have to stay.

Ducted and split systems, with anti-corrosive Golden Fin coils on the ducted range.
Zoning control for ducted systems, with a sensor in each zone and control from your phone.
None of these is in Frankston North, but each is a kind of job we quote here regularly.
The owner started with ceiling fans and finished with ducted reverse cycle through the whole house on R1.5 insulated ductwork, 16 round outlets and six AirTouch 5 zones.
Two tired split systems were swapped for new ones and a condensation pump was added, as part of a larger job in Surrey Hills that also covered solar, a battery and heat pump hot water.
Across town in Cairnlea, the gas ducted heater was decommissioned and an 18kW Mitsubishi Electric ducted unit installed, feeding ten vents across seven AirTouch 5 zones. The job carried a $6,300 rebate.
A split system takes a few hours. Ducted on new R1.5 ducts is typically one to two days.
A gas wall heater, ducted gas, an old split or nothing at all. That decides what comes out and whether a VEU discount applies.
We measure the rooms that matter, check the switchboard, and find a spot for the outdoor unit that does not block a path or a neighbour's window.
Split, multi-head or ducted, each with the brand, capacity and after-discount price, so the comparison is easy.
Refrigeration pipework, the electrical circuit and any duct work done by Powerband staff, and the old heater taken away.
Heating and cooling both run before we leave, and whoever lives there is shown how to use the controller.
One discount off the install, then lower bills every quarter after it.
Applies to efficient reverse cycle heating and cooling, and is largest when a gas heater is replaced. Eligibility depends on the property and the system, so we confirm it at the visit and show it as a line on the quote.
Reverse cycle heats at around a third of the running cost of gas heating, and the same unit gives the house cooling it never had.
A reverse cycle system running on a sunny afternoon uses power from your own roof. See solar and batteries in Frankston North if that is on the list too.
If one split system will do the job, that is what we will quote.
A two-bedroom unit rarely needs ducted. You get the option that suits the home, with a bigger one priced alongside if you ask.

It will heat the living area and the spaces open to it well. Bedrooms at the end of a hallway usually need their own head or a ducted system. We tell you what one unit will and will not reach before you buy.
It depends on the room size, ceiling height, insulation and windows, not just the floor area. We measure on site rather than guess from a photo.
Yes. The old heater is removed and a wall unit goes in, often near the same spot. Replacing a gas heater is also where the VEU discount tends to be largest.
Yes. We arrange access with you or your agent and keep the visit short. A split system is usually finished in a few hours.
Usually, and that is often the reason to choose one. One outdoor unit serves several rooms, so there is less equipment outside. Owners corporation rules on outdoor units still apply.
Sometimes. If the roof space is accessible and you want every room run from one controller, ducted on new R1.5 ducts works well. If only two or three rooms matter, splits usually cost less.
A short visit to measure the rooms and check the switchboard, then a written quote with each option, the brand and the after-VEU price. No obligation.
