A-Grade electricians who do the whole job: solar and batteries, reverse cycle heating and cooling, heat pump hot water, induction and EV charging across Sunshine West, Sunshine and Ardeer. Free site inspections, fixed quotes, every rebate lodged for you.
Sunshine West is 1960s and 70s brick veneer on full blocks, nearly all built with gas heating and gas hot water. It is a suburb where people have been in the same house for a long time, and the heating and hot water are often original or on their second replacement.
Because Sunshine West is on mains gas and inside the VEU area, the usual 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. The west also runs hotter in summer than the bay and eastern suburbs, so the reverse cycle system that replaces the gas heater earns its keep twice a year.
Sunshine West is about 70 minutes from our Somerville depot. We plan west-side work so one inspection covers the whole house and installs are booked to run to schedule, and everything is done by Powerband employees, not subcontractors, for a fixed after-rebate price.
Ordered by what pays back fastest in Sunshine West's postwar housing: heating and hot water first, then solar and battery sized to the new electric load.
Replacing an old ducted gas heater with reverse cycle on new R1.5 insulated ducts, or a wall furnace with split systems, is most of what we do in Sunshine West. The house gets cooling for the first time. Installed by our ARC-licensed technicians, with the VEU discount on the quote.
Most Sunshine West homes still have a gas storage or instantaneous unit, and when it fails it is usually replaced like for like. 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. It uses about a quarter of the energy and is usually the fastest-paying step off gas.
Sunshine West roofs are tile, simple and unshaded, and 6.6kW to 10kW is typical. We size the system to the heating and hot water load it will carry. We lodge the Solar Victoria rebate and loan and the federal battery discount for you.
A full Sunshine 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.
Once heating and hot water are electric, the cooktop is the last gas appliance in most Sunshine West 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.
