One licensed crew for solar, batteries, heating and cooling, hot water, induction and EV charging across Tootgarook and Capel Sound and Rye. About 40 minutes from our depot in Somerville, rebates applied before you see the price.
40 minutes from Somerville, Tootgarook is where a lot of our Peninsula work is. Coastal homes, strong solar, owners who want a battery and backup for the outages that come with the wind. Gas is reticulated in parts of Tootgarook and not others, so the electrification plan starts with checking what the house actually runs on.
Because Tootgarook 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 Tootgarook specifics, the fastest answer is a phone call.
High solar uptake means batteries and upgrades lead in Tootgarook, with heating, hot water and EV following.
Solar uptake in Tootgarook 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 MelbourneIn Tootgarook 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 Tootgarook 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 MelbournePlenty of Tootgarook 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 MelbourneWe plan the whole switch for a Tootgarook 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 MelbourneThe induction swap is the smallest job on this page and the one that finally lets a Tootgarook home cancel the gas account. Dedicated 32A circuit, cooktop supplied or yours installed, gas capped by our plumber.
