One licensed crew for solar, batteries, heating and cooling, hot water, induction and EV charging for Portsea homes, 50 minutes from our Somerville base. Rebates applied on the quote.
Portsea is Mornington Peninsula coast, 42 km and about 50 minutes from our Somerville depot. The housing runs from 60s fibro beach houses to new builds, and a lot of it is holiday or second homes being updated for full-time living. Solar uptake here is among the highest in Victoria, batteries are the natural next step, and salt air means outdoor units and mounting hardware have to be specified for it.
Because Portsea is on mains gas and inside the VEU area, the typical 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. We plan the whole sequence at the first inspection so nothing has to be redone.
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 Portsea specifics, the fastest answer is a phone call.
High solar uptake means batteries and upgrades lead in Portsea, with heating, hot water and EV following.
Solar uptake in Portsea is among the highest in Victoria, so a lot of our work here is batteries on existing systems and upgrades to arrays that were sized before EVs and heat pumps. Salt-rated mounting and outdoor gear, backup circuits for the outages, and every rebate applied.
Solar & Battery across MelbourneReplacing a 20-plus-year-old ducted gas heater with a Braemar or Mitsubishi reverse cycle unit on the existing ducts is the job we do most in Portsea. The house gets cooling for the first time, the gas bill drops and the VEU discount comes off the install. Where ducts are not practical, split systems from Panasonic, Mitsubishi or Haier cover the living areas and bedrooms.
Heating & Cooling across MelbourneHeat pump hot water is the easiest electrification win in Portsea: 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 MelbournePlenty of Portsea homes are second homes with the car arriving Friday night, which makes scheduled and solar-aware charging worth setting up properly. Tesla Wall Connector, Sigenergy or Zappi, switchboard checked, salt-rated where it is exposed.
EV Chargers across MelbourneWe plan the whole switch for a Portsea home from one site inspection: what goes first for the fastest payback, what the solar needs to be sized for once the gas appliances are electric, and when the meter comes off. One crew for all of it.
Home Electrification across MelbourneOnce heating and hot water are electric, the cooktop is the last gas appliance in most Portsea kitchens and the reason the supply charge keeps arriving. We supply and install the induction cooktop, run the dedicated circuit and cap the gas, usually in half a day, with the VEU discount applied.
Induction Cooktops across MelbournePortsea has a steady rental market, and we do the two-yearly electrical safety checks Victorian rental providers need, smoke alarm and switchboard compliance, and the heat pump and split system upgrades landlords are asked for. Per-property reports and tenant access handled by us.

Yes. Portsea is inside the VEU area, so heat pump hot water, reverse cycle heating and cooling and induction cooktops all attract discounts, with the largest when you are replacing gas. We apply them on the quote.
In most Portsea homes, yes. We inspect the ducts and the plenum at the site visit, and if they are sound the reverse cycle unit connects to them. That is the single biggest saving in the job.
Usually within the week, often sooner. Our depot is in Somerville, about 50 minutes from Portsea.
Nearly all of them. A standard Portsea home takes 6.6kW to 10kW comfortably, and larger blocks take more. We size to your usage and to whatever gas appliances you are replacing.
All of them. Sorrento, Blairgowrie and Rye and the rest of the Mornington Peninsula area, and across Melbourne. See the locations page for the full list.
