Solar and batteries, heat pumps, reverse cycle and EV charging, designed as one system and installed by our own A-Grade electricians across Keilor, St Albans and Airport West. About 70 minutes from our depot in Somerville, rebates applied before you see the price.
Keilor is an old river village with a newer suburb around it: 1970s to 90s homes on larger blocks, some on rural-residential lots along the Maribyrnong valley. The homes are bigger than most in the west, with ducted gas, gas hot water and roofs with plenty of space for solar.
Because Keilor 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.
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 our home electrification page; for Keilor specifics, the fastest answer is a phone call.
The order below is the order that pays back fastest in Keilor's brick veneer: ducted heating and hot water first, then solar and battery sized to the new electric load, then the rest.
Larger Keilor homes usually have zoned ducted gas, and we replace it with zoned ducted reverse cycle on new R1.5 insulated ducts, or a Braemar Dominator where the ducts cannot be replaced. Installed by our ARC-licensed technicians, with the VEU discount on the quote.
Heat pump hot water is the easiest electrification win in Keilor: one visit, old gas or electric tank out, Reclaim, iStore or Emerald 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.
Keilor roofs are larger than average, and 10kW to 13kW is common. On the bigger blocks with three-phase supply we can go further, and a battery suits the evening load. We lodge the Solar Victoria rebate and loan and the federal battery discount for you.
Taking a Keilor home off gas is a sequence, not a single job: heating and hot water for the biggest savings, solar and a battery sized to the new electric load, induction last, then the gas meter abolished so the supply charge stops. We plan it at one inspection and quote each step with its rebates.
Once heating and hot water are electric, the cooktop is the last gas appliance in most Keilor kitchens and the reason the supply charge keeps arriving. We supply and install the induction cooktop, run the dedicated circuit and cap the gas, usually in half a day.
Induction Cooktops across MelbourneKeilor has more three-phase supply than most western suburbs, which suits faster home charging. We check the supply before quoting and set the charger to solar-first. Certificate of Electrical Safety issued on every install.
EV Chargers across MelbourneWe do the two-yearly electrical safety checks Victorian rental providers need in Keilor, plus smoke alarm and switchboard compliance and the heating upgrades landlords are asked for. Per-property reports and tenant access handled by us.
Real Estate across MelbourneKnockdown-rebuilds on the larger Keilor blocks are steady. We deliver the fit-out and the full electric package for builders, priced from the plans.
Builders across MelbourneSomerville to Keilor is about 70 minutes, so we plan every job to be done properly the first time.
Somerville to Keilor is about 70 minutes, so we design the whole house at the first inspection: heating, hot water, solar, battery and switchboard, on one fixed quote.
Solar sized for the heat pump it will run, switchboard checked before the EV charger is quoted. One design for the whole Keilor house.
Keilor qualifies for the Victorian and federal incentives going. They are on the quote, and we do the paperwork.

Yes. Keilor 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.
Yes. Larger properties often have three-phase supply, sheds and pumps, and we design solar, battery and EV charging around the whole property, not just the house.
Usually within the week. Our depot is in Somerville, about 70 minutes from Keilor, and we plan western suburbs inspections so the drive does not hold your job up.
Nearly all of them. A typical Keilor brick veneer takes 6.6kW to 10kW, and larger homes take more. We size to your usage and to whatever gas appliances you are replacing.
All of them. St Albans, Airport West and Taylors Lakes and the rest of Melbourne's western suburbs, and across Melbourne. See the locations page for the full list.
