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 Maidstone, Maribyrnong and Braybrook. Free site inspections, fixed quotes, every rebate lodged for you.
Maidstone was built out in the 1950s and 60s, a lot of it as housing commission weatherboard and brick veneer, and much of it has since been subdivided into townhouses. The original homes are compact, usually single storey with a gas heater in the lounge and a gas storage tank, which makes them quick and affordable to take off gas.
Because Maidstone 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.
Maidstone is about 70 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.
Ordered by what pays back fastest in Maidstone's postwar housing: heating and hot water first, then solar and battery sized to the new electric load.
Most original Maidstone homes have a gas wall furnace or a space heater, not ducts, so two or three split systems heat and cool the whole house for less than one ducted unit. Where ducted gas was added, we fit 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.
Most Maidstone 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.
A Maidstone roof takes 6.6kW comfortably with little shade. Paired with a heat pump and splits, that covers most of the daytime load, and a battery takes care of the evening. We lodge the Solar Victoria rebate and loan and the federal battery discount for you.
A full Maidstone 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.
Once heating and hot water are electric, the cooktop is the last gas appliance in most Maidstone kitchens and the reason the supply charge keeps arriving. We supply and install the induction cooktop and run the dedicated circuit, usually in half a day.
Induction Cooktops across MelbourneMaidstone is mostly single phase with original switchboards, so a board upgrade often comes first. We check before quoting a charger and include it in the fixed price when it is needed. Certificate of Electrical Safety issued on every install.

Yes. Maidstone 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 two or three: one high-wall unit in the living area and smaller units in the main bedrooms. We size each one to the room, and the VEU discount applies where they replace gas heating.
Usually within the week. Our depot is in Somerville, about 70 minutes from Maidstone, and we plan western suburbs inspections so the drive does not hold your job up.
Nearly all of them. A standard Maidstone home takes 6.6kW to 10kW comfortably with little shade. We size to your usage and to whatever gas appliances you are replacing.
All of them. Maribyrnong, Braybrook and Avondale Heights and the rest of Melbourne's western suburbs, and across Melbourne. See the locations page for the full list.
