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 Kingsville, West Footscray and Seddon. Free site inspections, fixed quotes, every rebate lodged for you.
Kingsville is a small pocket between Geelong Road and Somerville Road, mostly interwar and postwar weatherboards on decent blocks, with a growing number of renovated homes and townhouses. It is a suburb where people tend to renovate rather than move, which is the right moment to take a house off gas.
Because Kingsville 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.
Kingsville is about 60 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 Kingsville: split systems and heat pump hot water first, then solar on the right roof plane, then the rest.
Kingsville homes are split between gas wall furnaces and ducted gas added in the 80s and 90s. Ducted homes get a reverse cycle unit on new R1.5 insulated ducts, or a Braemar Dominator where the ducts cannot be replaced. The rest get splits sized room by room. Installed by our ARC-licensed technicians, with the VEU discount on the quote.
Most Kingsville 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.
Most Kingsville roofs take 6.6kW comfortably, and the larger blocks take 10kW. The western suburbs get more sun and less shade than the east, so a well-placed array here does better than the same array in the hills. We lodge the Solar Victoria rebate and loan and the federal battery discount for you.
The induction swap is the smallest job on this page and the one that finally lets a Kingsville home cancel the gas account. Dedicated circuit, cooktop supplied or yours installed, gas capped by our plumber.
Induction Cooktops across MelbourneA full Kingsville 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. Kingsville 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, yes. With walls and ceilings open the rewire and new circuits cost less, and the heating, hot water and cooktop can all be designed in rather than added later.
Usually within the week. Our depot is in Somerville, about 60 minutes from Kingsville, 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. West Footscray, Seddon and Yarraville and the rest of Melbourne's western suburbs, and across Melbourne. See the locations page for the full list.
