For South Melbourne property managers: rental electrical safety checks, compliance work, pre-lease inspections and appliance upgrades across a rent roll, with tenant liaison and reporting built for how agencies work.
Real Estate across MelbourneSolar and batteries, heat pumps, ducted reverse cycle and EV charging, designed as one system and installed by our own A-Grade electricians across South Melbourne and Southbank and Albert Park. About 60 minutes from our depot in Somerville, rebates applied before you see the price.
South Melbourne is inner Melbourne, City of Port Phillip, about 60 minutes from our Somerville depot. The housing is terraces, units and apartment blocks, and a high proportion of it is rented. That shifts our work here toward rental safety checks and compliance, induction changeovers in small kitchens, EV charging in apartment car parks, and split systems where there is no roof space for ducted.
The gas heater and the hot water unit are where a South Melbourne 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 South Melbourne and around Southbank, Albert Park and Port Melbourne 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.
Rental compliance, induction and apartment EV charging lead in South Melbourne. Solar is a design question, not a given.

Real Estate across MelbourneThe induction swap is the smallest job on this page and the one that finally lets a South Melbourne home cancel the gas account. Dedicated 32A circuit, cooktop supplied or yours installed, gas capped by our plumber.
Induction Cooktops across MelbourneEV charging in South Melbourne is often an apartment or townhouse question: shared supply, owners corporation approval, load management across bays and per-bay metering. We prepare the technical submission and do the install. Single-driveway terraces are simpler and quoted fixed.
EV Chargers across MelbourneReplacing 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 South Melbourne. 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 MelbourneHeat pump hot water is the easiest electrification win in South Melbourne: 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 MelbourneSolar in South Melbourne is a design exercise more than a sales one: small, often shaded roofs, heritage streets and shared walls. We work out what is realistic, pair it with a battery where the evening load justifies it, and apply the Solar Victoria rebate and loan to your solar panels and inverter where you qualify.
Solar & Battery across MelbourneA full South Melbourne 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.
Home Electrification across MelbourneInfill and knockdown-rebuild work is steady across South Melbourne, 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.
Builders across MelbourneSouth Melbourne is 47 km from our Somerville base. That shows in how fast we quote and how often the same crew comes back.
You call the office in Somerville, 47 km from South Melbourne, and you get the people who will actually do the job.
Solar sized for the heat pump it will run, switchboard checked before the EV charger is quoted. One design for the whole South Melbourne house.
VEU, the Solar Victoria rebate and loan (solar panels and inverters), STCs and the federal battery discount, all applied before you see the price and lodged by us.
Electrical, refrigeration and plumbing for hot water all done by Powerband employees. No subcontractors, and the same faces from quote to handover.

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 donePosted on Google![]()

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.

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.Posted on Google![]()

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.Posted on Google![]()

Yes. South Melbourne 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.
In many South Melbourne homes, yes. On most jobs we replace the old gas ducts with new R1.5 insulated ducts sized to the new reverse cycle unit. Where the ducts cannot be replaced, often in double-storey homes, we fit a Braemar Dominator, which keeps the existing ducts and controls the airflow through them. We check which applies at the site visit.
Usually within the week, often sooner. Our depot is in Somerville, about 60 minutes from South Melbourne.
It varies a lot in South Melbourne. Terraces and townhouses often take a modest array, apartments usually cannot take an individual system. We tell you honestly what your roof can do before you spend anything.
All of them. Southbank, Albert Park and Port Melbourne and the rest of the Bayside and Inner South area, and across Melbourne. See the locations page for the full list.
