Solar and batteries, heat pumps, ducted reverse cycle and EV charging, designed as one system and installed by our own A-Grade electricians for Waterways homes, 30 minutes from our Somerville base. Rebates applied on the quote.
About 30 minutes up the bay from Somerville, Waterways has the mix we expect in City of Kingston: period homes, 60s brick and a steady run of renovations and knockdown rebuilds. Roofs are large, gas is everywhere in the older stock, and salt air makes the choice of outdoor units matter more than it does inland.
The gas heater and the hot water unit are where a Waterways 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 usually connects to the existing ducts, and a heat pump hot water unit goes in on the same day the old tank comes out. Solar Victoria rebates and loans cover the panels and battery that follow.
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 Waterways specifics, the fastest answer is a phone call.
Big roofs and high evening usage put solar and battery first in Waterways, with the gas heating swap close behind.
Large roofs and high evening usage make Waterways a strong battery suburb. We check heritage and character overlays before designing panel placement, specify salt-rated hardware for the bayside air, and size the battery to your actual usage. Sigenergy, Tesla Powerwall and Sungrow, with all rebates lodged.
Solar & Battery across MelbourneIn Waterways 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 using the ducts already in the roof. 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 MelbourneA full Waterways 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.

Yes. Waterways 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 Waterways 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 30 minutes from Waterways.
