Solar and batteries, heat pumps, reverse cycle and EV charging, designed as one system and installed by our own A-Grade electricians across Maribyrnong, Maidstone and Avondale Heights. About 70 minutes from our depot in Somerville, rebates applied before you see the price.
Maribyrnong is newer than most of the inner west. Along the river and around Highpoint it is 2000s and 2010s townhouses and apartments, including the Edgewater estate, while the streets up the hill towards Ascot Vale are postwar brick and weatherboard homes on full blocks.
Because Maribyrnong 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 Maribyrnong specifics, the fastest answer is a phone call.
Rental compliance, induction and EV charging lead in Maribyrnong's apartments and townhouses. The houses behind them get the full off-gas treatment.
Maribyrnong has a large rental market in the townhouses and apartments, and we do the two-yearly electrical safety checks Victorian rental providers need, smoke alarm and switchboard compliance, with per-property reports.
Real Estate across MelbourneOnce heating and hot water are electric, the cooktop is the last gas appliance in most Maribyrnong 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 MelbourneFor Maribyrnong apartments and townhouse complexes we handle the owners corporation submission, load management and metering that shared-supply charging needs. For houses with their own supply it is a dedicated circuit and a charger set to solar-first. Certificate of Electrical Safety issued on every install.
The postwar homes up the hill mostly have ducted gas, and a reverse cycle unit on new R1.5 insulated ducts is the biggest saving on the page. The townhouses usually have splits already, and the upgrade there is replacing tired units with efficient ones. Installed by our ARC-licensed technicians, with the VEU discount on the quote.
Heat pump hot water is the easiest electrification win in Maribyrnong: 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.
Hot Water Systems across MelbourneTownhouse roofs in Maribyrnong usually take 3kW to 6.6kW, and many were built with a small system that is now undersized. The full-block homes take 6.6kW to 10kW with room for a battery. We lodge the Solar Victoria rebate and loan and the federal battery discount for you.
Solar & Battery across MelbourneTaking a Maribyrnong 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.

Yes. Maribyrnong 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. We assess the supply, prepare what the owners corporation needs to approve it and install load management so the charger does not overload the shared supply.
Usually within the week. Our depot is in Somerville, about 70 minutes from Maribyrnong, and we plan western suburbs inspections so the drive does not hold your job up.
It varies. Houses and townhouses usually take a modest array, apartments usually cannot take an individual system. We tell you honestly what your roof can do before you spend anything.
