Heating in Noble Park

Where the outdoor unit goes is half the job

So much of Noble Park is now units and townhouses that the usual heating conversation, about ducted gas in a big roof space, only fits part of the suburb. A typical unit here has one living area, two or three bedrooms, a small courtyard and a gas wall furnace or an ageing wall air conditioner. There is rarely a roof space worth the name, and no room for ducts in it.

Split systems suit these homes well. A wall unit in the living area and one in the main bedroom will heat and cool a unit for around a third of the running cost of gas heating, and each goes in over a few hours. The skill is in the placement. The outdoor unit has to sit somewhere with clear airflow that is not under a neighbour's bedroom window, not blocking a shared driveway and, on a strata title, not on common property without approval.

The original 1950s to 1970s houses that remain are a different job. Those with ducted gas and a usable roof space get ducted reverse cycle on new R1.5 insulated ducts. Those heated by a wall furnace get splits or a multi-head. We look before we recommend, and it all ties in with the other work we do in Noble Park.

What we install in Noble Park

Mostly splits, placed with care

Mitsubishi Electric, Hisense and Braemar equipment, installed by Powerband employees.

01

Single split systems

One indoor unit, one outdoor unit, sized for the room. The standard answer for a unit living area or a main bedroom. We run the pipework the neatest way the building allows and put the outdoor unit where it is quiet for you and next door.

  • Mitsubishi Electric, Hisense
  • A few hours to install
  • Own dedicated circuit
02

Multi-head systems

In a courtyard with room for only one outdoor unit, a multi-head runs the living room and two or three bedrooms from it. It is often the only way to condition a whole townhouse without filling the outside walls with equipment.

  • One outdoor unit
  • Up to several rooms
  • Suits tight courtyards
03

Upstairs in townhouses

Heat collects on the upper floor of a two-storey townhouse in summer. A split in the upstairs bedrooms or landing deals with it directly. We plan the pipe route and the condensate drain so nothing runs across the front of the building.

  • Upper-floor cooling
  • Condensate drained properly
  • Pipe route planned
04

Ducted reverse cycle for houses

For the older single-storey houses with ducted gas, the heater and old ducts are removed and a Braemar, Mitsubishi Electric or Hisense ducted unit goes in on new R1.5 insulated ducts with AirTouch 5 zoning. Typically one to two days.

  • New R1.5 insulated ducts

Jobs from other suburbs

Split and ducted work we have written up

We have no Noble Park case study yet. These three are from Blairgowrie, Surrey Hills and Berwick, and each involved the kind of system we fit most in Noble Park.

All case studies

Blairgowrie: gas heating out, split systems in

A double-storey home taken off gas completely. Split systems replaced the gas heating, alongside heat pump hot water, induction cooking, 17.1kW of solar and a Sigenergy battery, after the house was rewired to three phase.

  • Split systems throughout
  • Double-storey home
  • Whole house off gas

Surrey Hills: two old splits replaced

Two split system air conditioners were swapped for new ones and a condensation pump fitted, as part of a job that also put in solar, a 24.18kWh battery and heat pump hot water.

  • Two split systems replaced
  • Condensation pump fitted
  • One crew, one job
Read the case study

Berwick: 16kW ducted on two zones

A 16kW Braemar Dominator ducted reverse cycle system on AirTouch 5 with two zones, installed together with 30.6kWh of battery storage so the family heats and cools after dark on stored solar.

  • 16kW Braemar Dominator
  • AirTouch 5, two zones
  • Battery in the same job

How a Noble Park job runs

A short visit, then a short install

A split system is a few hours. Ducted reverse cycle with new R1.5 ducts is typically one to two days.

  1. 01
    Rooms and walls

    We measure the rooms, check which walls can take an indoor unit and how the pipes will reach outside.

  2. 02
    Outdoor position

    Airflow, noise, the neighbours' windows and the driveway are all considered. On a strata title we mark the position on a sketch for your owners corporation.

  3. 03
    Power

    An electrician checks your board and, in a unit block, how supply reaches it from the meters. Each system gets its own circuit.

  4. 04
    Fixed quote

    Model, capacity, position and the price after any VEU discount. Nothing added later.

  5. 05
    Install and clean up

    Units fitted, pipework covered, old gas heater decommissioned where the rebate requires it, everything tested and the remote or app explained.

Rebates and running costs

What a split system saves in a unit

Smaller homes cost less to convert, and the discount still applies.

01
Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU)

Noble Park is inside the VEU area. Efficient reverse cycle systems qualify for a discount, and it is biggest when a gas heater is being replaced. We check your property and show the discount on the quote.

02
Heat one room, pay for one room

A wall furnace heats the lounge and leaks into the hall. A split in each room you use, switched on only when you are in it, costs around a third as much to run as gas heating.

03
Add solar when the roof allows

Even a small array covers a good share of a split system's daytime running. We design solar and batteries for Noble Park roofs, units included.

Why Powerband in Noble Park

Neat work in tight spaces

On a block of four units, everyone sees the install. It has to be tidy and it has to be quiet.

01
Placement thought through

We do not bolt the outdoor unit to the nearest wall. We pick the spot that works for airflow, noise and the look of the building.

02
One licensed crew

ARC authorisation AU 065299, BPC 132072 and REC 32300. Refrigeration and electrical by our own people, nothing subcontracted.

03
Considerate on shared driveways

We park so the driveway stays clear, keep the noisy work to sensible hours and leave the common areas as we found them.

04
Ducted when the house suits it

We are not only a split system company. The older Noble Park houses with ducted gas get a full ducted design on new ducts.

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.

FAQ

Noble Park heating questions

Anything else, call 0466 355 441. You will get a technician, not a salesperson.

How many split systems does a Noble Park unit need?

Most two-bedroom units are comfortable with one in the living area and one in the main bedroom. A third bedroom or an upstairs level may want another, or a multi-head. We size each room at the visit.

Do I need strata approval for the outdoor unit?

If it is fixed to or sits on common property, generally yes. Check your plan of subdivision and the owners corporation rules. We give you a sketch of the position and the unit's specifications, including its noise rating, for the request.

Will the outdoor unit annoy my neighbours?

Modern inverter units are quiet, but position still matters when homes are close together. We keep them away from bedroom windows and off shared walls where we can.

Can you replace my gas wall furnace with a split?

Yes. The split heats and cools the same room, and the gas heater is decommissioned as part of the job where the VEU discount requires it. Installation takes a few hours.

Is ducted possible in a Noble Park townhouse?

Rarely. There is usually no roof space on the lower level and little on the upper. A multi-head gives the same room-by-room control without ducts.

My older Noble Park house has ducted gas. What do you recommend?

If it is single storey with an accessible roof space, ducted reverse cycle on new R1.5 insulated ducts. That is typically one to two days, and the VEU discount is largest on this kind of swap.
