The Moorabbin job, house by house

About 40 minutes up the bay from Somerville, Moorabbin has the mix we expect in City of Kingston: period homes, 60s brick and a steady run of renovations and knockdown rebuilds. Roofs are large, gas is everywhere in the older stock, and salt air makes the choice of outdoor units matter more than it does inland.

The gas heater and the hot water unit are where a Moorabbin home's energy money goes, and both are in the Victorian Energy Upgrades area, so replacing them attracts VEU discounts on top of the running-cost saving. Ducted reverse cycle usually connects to the existing ducts, and a heat pump hot water unit goes in on the same day the old tank comes out. Solar Victoria rebates and loans cover the panels and battery that follow.

Moorabbin 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 Moorabbin

Eight services for Moorabbin, solar first

Big roofs and high evening usage put solar and battery first in Moorabbin, with the gas heating swap close behind.

Large roofs and high evening usage make Moorabbin a strong battery suburb. We check heritage and character overlays before designing panel placement, specify salt-rated hardware for the bayside air, and size the battery to your actual usage. Sigenergy, Tesla Powerwall and Sungrow, with all rebates lodged.

Solar & Battery across Melbourne

In Moorabbin the ducted gas heaters are reaching the end of their lives together, and every one of them is a candidate for a reverse cycle swap using the ducts already in the roof. ARC-authorised technicians, VEU discount applied, and for the smaller homes and units a split system or multi-head does the job for less.

Heating & Cooling across Melbourne

Heat pump hot water is the easiest electrification win in Moorabbin: one visit, old gas or electric tank out, Reclaim or iStore 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 Melbourne

Older Moorabbin homes often need a switchboard check before a charger, and detached garages can mean a longer cable run. We quote it all as one fixed price and integrate the charger with your solar so the car fills from the roof.

EV Chargers across Melbourne

Infill and knockdown-rebuild work is steady across Moorabbin, and new Victorian homes are all-electric. We provide the electrical fit-out and the complete electric package for builders as one contractor, priced from the plans.

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.
