Rosebud West

Rosebud West, from the switchboard up

Rosebud West is Mornington Peninsula coast, 30 km and about 40 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.

The gas heater and the hot water unit are where a Rosebud West 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 goes in with new R1.5 insulated ducts, and a heat pump hot water unit goes in on the same day the old tank comes out. The Solar Victoria rebate and loan cover the solar panels and inverter, and the federal battery discount covers the battery.

We have been working in Rosebud West and around Capel Sound, Rosebud and Tootgarook for years. Site inspections are free, the quote is fixed with every rebate already applied, and the same in-house crew does the electrical, refrigeration and plumbing. If you are weighing up where to start, our home electrification page walks through the order, or call and we will tell you straight for your house.

What we do in Rosebud West

Solar, batteries and the rest, for Rosebud West

High solar uptake means batteries and upgrades lead in Rosebud West, with heating, hot water and EV following.

Solar uptake in Rosebud West 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 Melbourne

Replacing a 20-plus-year-old ducted gas heater with ducted reverse cycle on new R1.5 insulated ducts is the job we do most in Rosebud West. The house gets cooling for the first time, the gas bill drops and the VEU discount comes off the install. Where the ducts cannot be replaced, a Braemar Dominator keeps them and controls the airflow, and where ducted is not practical, Mitsubishi Electric or Hisense split systems cover the living areas and bedrooms.

Heating & Cooling across Melbourne

Most Rosebud West homes still have a gas storage tank, and when it fails it is usually replaced like for like without anyone asking the question. The better answer is a heat pump from Reclaim, iStore or Emerald, installed in a day by our plumber and electrician together, with VEU and STCs both applied. About a quarter of the energy, and normally the fastest-paying step off gas.

Hot Water Systems across Melbourne

Plenty of Rosebud West 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 Melbourne

A full Rosebud West electrification is usually heating first, hot water second, then solar and battery sized to the new load, then the cooktop, then the gas meter abolished. Designed once at the first inspection, staged over as many visits as suits you, and every step attracts its own rebates.

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

Rosebud West questions

Anything else, call 0466 355 441.

Is Rosebud West eligible for Victorian Energy Upgrades discounts?

Yes. Rosebud West 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.

What is the first thing to replace in a Rosebud West home on gas?

Usually the ducted heater or the hot water unit, whichever is older. Both carry the largest running costs and the largest VEU discounts, and both are one-visit jobs.

How quickly can you get to Rosebud West for a quote?

Usually within the week, often sooner. Our depot is in Somerville, about 40 minutes from Rosebud West.

Do Rosebud West homes have enough roof for solar and a battery?

Nearly all of them. A standard Rosebud West 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.

Which suburbs around Rosebud West do you cover?

All of them. Capel Sound, Rosebud and Tootgarook and the rest of the Mornington Peninsula area, and across Melbourne. See the locations page for the full list.
