One licensed crew for solar, batteries, heating and cooling, hot water, induction and EV charging for Tecoma homes, 50 minutes from our Somerville base. Rebates applied on the quote.
About 50 minutes from our depot, Tecoma is hills country: bigger blocks, gums over the roof, and houses that were built for gas or wood heating. We design solar around the shade rather than pretending it is not there, and we replace a lot of ageing gas ducted systems with reverse cycle in Tecoma and neighbouring Upwey, Belgrave and Ferny Creek.
Because Tecoma 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 Tecoma specifics, the fastest answer is a phone call.
Cold winters and shaded roofs set the order in Tecoma: reverse cycle heating first, then solar designed around the trees.
Replacing 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 Tecoma. 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 MelbourneSolar in Tecoma means designing around gums, dormers and pitched roofs. Optimisers where they earn their keep, panel placement from a site visit not a satellite guess, and a battery with backup circuits because the power drops out more often up here.
Solar & Battery across MelbourneHeat pump hot water is the easiest electrification win in Tecoma: 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 MelbourneWe plan the whole switch for a Tecoma 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 MelbourneLonger driveways and detached carports in Tecoma mean longer cable runs, and the older boards often need work. We quote the whole thing fixed, and with the solar and battery systems common up here the charger is set to fill the car from the roof.
EV Chargers across MelbourneOnce heating and hot water are electric, the cooktop is the last gas appliance in most Tecoma 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 MelbourneInfill and knockdown-rebuild work is steady across Tecoma, 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 MelbourneTecoma 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. Tecoma 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 Tecoma 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 Tecoma.
Yes. Sigenergy, Tesla Powerwall and Sungrow, sized to your evening load, with backup circuits configured. Solar Victoria battery rebates and loans and the federal battery discount are applied on the quote.
All of them. Upwey, Belgrave and Ferny Creek and the rest of the Dandenong Ranges and Yarra Valley area, and across Melbourne. See the locations page for the full list.
