The Kilsyth South job, house by house

About 50 minutes from our depot, Kilsyth South 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 Kilsyth South and neighbouring Kilsyth, Bayswater North and Montrose.

Because Kilsyth South 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.

Kilsyth South is regular territory for our crews, and a site inspection there is usually within the week. We design every job as one system, so the solar is sized for the heat pump it will run and the switchboard is checked before the EV charger is quoted.

What we do in Kilsyth South

Heating and solar, designed for Kilsyth South

Cold winters and shaded roofs set the order in Kilsyth South: reverse cycle heating first, then solar designed around the trees.

Replacing 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 Kilsyth South. 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 Melbourne

Shade from established trees is the design problem for solar in Kilsyth South, and it is why we specify SolarEdge optimisers or careful string design here more than anywhere else. Get the layout right and the hills produce well. Batteries with backup are popular for the outages that come with the trees.

The whole experience of working with Powerband has been fantastic. From the get go they were helpful with the design, requirements and answering all the questions we had about the install. We couldn't be happier with choosing them for the job. Special thanks to Bailey and the team for getting the entire installation done in one day it was a huge job so for it to be done and to such a high standard is much appreciated Thanks everyone at Powerband for all you've done

We have just had a Braemer Dominator reverse cycle ducted system installed by the Powerband Electrical team to replace our gas-fired system. We were very happy with the whole process, from the sales/design discussions with Dayle to the installation by the team led by Julian and including Logan and Darren. Using the existing ducting had its challenges but the team overcame them well. Julian set up the AirTouch5 control system & zoning with us and with a sudden cold snap arriving it has proven simple to use to create a comfortable environment. In fact we are already finding it far more effective system than the considerably larger gas unit and a more uniform heat with less draughts. Thanks to the Powerband team. Ken in Glen Waverley

Petris and his electrical team did 2 inverter airconditioner installs as part of our whole solar system install. Great workers, good thinkers who could sort out a couple of small issues in short order and wonderful people to have around our house. Organised and professional. Highly recommend Powerband.

Had the Powerband team electrify out whole house. Updated the heating / cooling with split systems, replace gas cooktop & hot water and put solar on with a 30kw battery. No gas bill, solar is producing more energy than we consume. These days we barely even have the supply charge. As part of it, they put the package together of what we wanted and needed to future proof our house and showed us several options for paying for it, in the end we opted for a 5-year interest free loan. Looking at our numbers, most of the loan will be paid off from the savings from our gas and electricity savings. All the work and upgrades done and barely any out of pocket cost, nice.... The team were great - worked in with timing for the jobs when it worked for us. The boys on site were all great, friendly, polite and professional. Did the job well and packed up (and cleaned up) well. Happy to recommend Powerband to anyone wanting to electrify their house in a cost-effective way.

FAQ

Kilsyth South questions

Anything else, call 0466 355 441.

Is Kilsyth South eligible for Victorian Energy Upgrades discounts?

Yes. Kilsyth South 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.

Can you replace ducted gas heating in a Kilsyth South home, and do the ducts need replacing?

In many Kilsyth South homes, yes. On most jobs we replace the old gas ducts with new R1.5 insulated ducts sized to the new reverse cycle unit. Where the ducts cannot be replaced, often in double-storey homes, we fit a Braemar Dominator, which keeps the existing ducts and controls the airflow through them. We check which applies at the site visit.

How quickly can you get to Kilsyth South for a quote?

Usually within the week, often sooner. Our depot is in Somerville, about 50 minutes from Kilsyth South.

Do you install batteries in Kilsyth South?

Yes. Sigenergy, Tesla Powerwall and Sungrow, sized to your evening load, with backup circuits configured. The Solar Victoria rebate and loan for solar panels and inverters, and the federal battery discount, are applied on the quote.

Which suburbs around Kilsyth South do you cover?

All of them. Kilsyth, Bayswater North and Montrose and the rest of the Maroondah area, and across Melbourne. See the locations page for the full list.
