Solar and batteries, heat pumps, ducted reverse cycle and EV charging, designed as one system and installed by our own A-Grade electricians for Hastings, VIC 3915. Free site inspections, fixed quotes, every rebate lodged for you.
In Hastings the houses are on acres, the supply is often three-phase and the gas, if there is any, comes in a bottle. It is about 13 minutes from our Somerville depot and a big part of our work there is large solar and battery systems with backup, because the grid on the hinterland goes down more than it should.
Because Hastings 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 Hastings specifics, the fastest answer is a phone call.
With little or no mains gas, Hastings is about generation and storage first, then the appliances that run on it.
On Hastings acreage the question is how much solar and battery it takes to run the property, sheds and pumps included, and often the answer is a three-phase system with a large battery and full backup. Sigenergy's modular stack suits this well, and Solar Victoria’s panel and inverter rebate and loan, plus the federal battery discount, all apply.
Solar & Battery across MelbourneHeat pump hot water is the easiest electrification win in Hastings: one visit, old gas or electric tank out, Reclaim or iStore heat pump in, gas capped, VEU discount and STCs on the quote. Timed to run through the middle of the day it heats almost entirely on solar.
Hot Water Systems across MelbourneReplacing a 20-plus-year-old ducted gas heater with ducted reverse cycle on new R1.5 insulated ducts is the job we do most in Hastings. The house gets cooling for the first time, the gas bill drops and the VEU discount comes off the install. Where the ducts cannot be replaced, a Braemar Dominator keeps them and controls the airflow, and where ducted is not practical, Mitsubishi Electric or Hisense split systems cover the living areas and bedrooms.
Heating & Cooling across MelbourneWe plan the whole switch for a Hastings home from one site inspection: what goes first for the fastest payback, what the solar needs to be sized for once the gas appliances are electric, and when the meter comes off. One crew for all of it.
Home Electrification across MelbourneOn Hastings properties with three-phase and a big solar array, EV charging can be fast and effectively free. We integrate the charger with the battery system so it prioritises solar and never drains the backup reserve.

Yes. Hastings 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 the ducted heater or the hot water unit, whichever is older. Both carry the largest running costs and the largest VEU discounts, and both are one-visit jobs.
Usually within the week, often sooner. Our depot is in Somerville, about 13 minutes from Hastings.
Almost always, and Hastings properties often have three-phase supply that allows larger systems. We size for the whole property including sheds and pumps.
