Solar and batteries, heat pumps, ducted reverse cycle and EV charging, designed as one system and installed by our own A-Grade electricians for Templestowe, VIC 3106. Free site inspections, fixed quotes, every rebate lodged for you.
About 60 minutes from Somerville, Templestowe is classic City of Manningham housing: brick veneer built in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, most of it heated by ducted gas that is now well past its design life. We have worked in Templestowe and neighbouring Templestowe Lower, Lower Plenty and Doncaster for years, so we know these houses before we walk in.
Because Templestowe 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 Templestowe specifics, the fastest answer is a phone call.
Ordered by what pays back fastest in Templestowe's housing: heating and hot water first, then solar and battery sized to the new electric load.
In Templestowe the ducted gas heaters are reaching the end of their lives together, and every one of them is a candidate for a reverse cycle swap, usually with new R1.5 insulated ducts. ARC-authorised technicians, VEU discount applied, and for the smaller homes and units a split system or multi-head does the job for less.
Heating & Cooling across MelbourneMost Templestowe 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 MelbourneA typical Templestowe brick veneer has room for 6.6kW to 13kW of panels and the evening load to justify a battery. We design from your bills, install with our own SAA-accredited electricians and apply every Victorian and federal incentive on the quote.
Solar & Battery across MelbourneWe plan the whole switch for a Templestowe 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 Templestowe 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.
Induction Cooktops across MelbourneTemplestowe has a mix of single and three-phase supply depending on the street and the age of the connection, and the older switchboards often need work before a charger goes in. We check both before quoting a Tesla Wall Connector, Sigenergy or Zappi, and set it to charge from your solar first.
EV Chargers across MelbourneFor landlords and property managers in Templestowe: mandatory electrical safety checks, compliance upgrades, pre-sale inspections and gas-to-electric appliance replacements, reported per property.

Yes. Templestowe 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.
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.
Usually within the week, often sooner. Our depot is in Somerville, about 60 minutes from Templestowe.
