One licensed crew for solar, batteries, heating and cooling, hot water, induction and EV charging for Main Ridge homes, 30 minutes from our Somerville base. Rebates applied on the quote.
In Main Ridge 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 30 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.
Most Main Ridge properties skip the gas conversation entirely and go straight to the question that matters: how much solar and battery does this place need to run itself. We size for the real load, including sheds and pumps, and we configure backup circuits properly because power outages are a fact of life out here.
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 Main Ridge specifics, the fastest answer is a phone call.
With little or no mains gas, Main Ridge is about generation and storage first, then the appliances that run on it.
Main Ridge properties usually have the roof and the three-phase supply for bigger systems than the suburbs. We size for the real load including outbuildings, configure backup properly because the grid out here is unreliable, and lodge every incentive.
Solar & Battery across MelbourneElectric storage tanks and bottled-gas hot water are the norm in Main Ridge, and both are expensive to run. A heat pump does the same job on about a quarter of the energy, qualifies for VEU discounts and STCs, and set to run at midday it heats on the solar. One-day changeover.
Hot Water Systems across MelbourneWood heaters and old gas space heaters are common in Main Ridge, and reverse cycle is the efficient replacement for both: heating in winter, cooling in summer, and it runs on the solar. Ducted where the roof space allows, splits or multi-head where it does not, all ARC-authorised and VEU-discounted.
Heating & Cooling across MelbourneElectrification in Main Ridge rarely starts with gas removal because there is little or none. It starts with a solar and battery system sized for the property, then heat pump hot water and reverse cycle running on it, then EV charging. We design the system as a whole so nothing is undersized later.
Home Electrification across MelbourneThree-phase supply on Main Ridge acreage means 11kW to 22kW charging is realistic, and with a large solar and battery system the car runs on the property's own generation. Sigenergy DC charging suits these setups well.
EV Chargers across MelbourneBottled-gas cooktops are common in Main Ridge and induction replaces them cleanly: faster, safer, no bottles to swap. We run the dedicated circuit, fit the cooktop and remove the gas connection in half a day.
Induction Cooktops across MelbourneFor builders and renovators in Main Ridge: electrical fit-out plus solar, HVAC, heat pump, induction and EV pre-wiring designed together at plan stage, from one licensed contractor.
Builders across MelbourneFor landlords and property managers in Main Ridge: mandatory electrical safety checks, compliance upgrades, pre-sale inspections and gas-to-electric appliance replacements, reported per property.
Real Estate across MelbourneWe work in Main Ridge regularly enough that most of the crew know the streets and the houses.

Yes. Main Ridge 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.
Mostly not. Most Main Ridge properties run on electricity with bottled gas for cooking at most, so electrification here is about solar, battery and heat pumps rather than gas removal. We confirm what your property has at the inspection.
Usually within the week, often sooner. Our depot is in Somerville, about 30 minutes from Main Ridge.
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.
All of them. Red Hill South, Red Hill and Arthurs Seat and the rest of the Mornington Peninsula area, and across Melbourne. See the locations page for the full list.
