Maintenance, compliance and upgrades, per property

Managing electrical work across a rent roll means bookings, tenant coordination, reports for the file and owner approvals, repeated for every property. Powerband takes that loop off the property manager. One contact for the agency, tenant access arranged by us, A-Grade electricians on site, same-day reports, and any extra work quoted as a separate line so the owner can approve it in one email.

Because we also install heat pump hot water, heating and cooling, EV charging and solar, the upgrades landlords are being asked for are done by the same crew that does the maintenance. And the mandatory two-yearly safety checks can be scheduled across the whole roll.

What we do for real estate

Everything electrical a property manager needs

Recurring maintenance, mandatory compliance and the upgrades that lift a property.

01
Rental maintenance and repairs

The everyday electrical work on a rent roll: faulty power points, switchboard trips, lighting, fans, hot water elements and safety switches. Booked per property, tenant access arranged by us, invoiced per owner.

02
Electrical safety checks

The two-yearly check Victorian rental providers must have done by a licensed electrician, with a written report per property. Full detail on our safety checks page.

03
Compliance upgrades

Smoke alarms, RCD and switchboard upgrades, and any work needed to meet Victorian rental minimum standards. Quoted as separate line items so owner approval is one email.

04
Pre-sale and vendor works

Electrical inspections and fixes before a property goes to market, and the upgrades that lift a listing: split systems, heat pump hot water, EV-ready circuits and solar.

How it works

Built to take work off your desk

The same process for a blown power point or a full switchboard upgrade.

  1. 01
    One contact for the agency

    A direct line for your property managers. Send the address, access details and the issue; we take it from there.

  2. 02
    Tenant access handled by us

    We contact the tenant, agree a time and confirm it back to you. No three-way phone tag.

  3. 03
    Fix, report, photograph

    A-Grade electrician on site. Work done, photos taken, report sent the same day in a format that goes straight on the property file.

  4. 04
    Approvals kept simple

    Anything beyond the call-out is quoted separately for the owner. Nothing is done without a yes, and nothing surprises anyone on the invoice.

Compliance and upgrades

What Victorian rental rules mean for your properties

The checks are mandatory now, and the appliance rules are tightening. Both are easier with one contractor.

01
Two-yearly electrical checks

A legal requirement for every Victorian rental. We track the due dates across your rent roll so nothing lapses. Details on the safety checks page.

02
Gas units reaching end of life

Victorian rental standards are moving to efficient electric replacements when gas hot water and heaters fail. Heat pump and reverse cycle swaps with VEU discounts keep the property compliant and cheaper to run.

03
Cheaper for the owner

VEU discounts on heat pump hot water and reverse cycle systems apply to rentals. Applied on the quote, lodged by us.

Why Powerband

One contractor on the property file

Maintenance, compliance and upgrades from the same licensed crew, reported the way property managers need it.

01
Built around how agencies work

Per-property bookings and reports, per-owner invoicing, one contact for the whole rent roll. We fit your workflow instead of asking you to fit ours.

02
A-Grade licensed, fully insured

REC 32300, licensed with Energy Safe Victoria, VBA registered. Every job signed off by the licensed electrician who did it.

03
Maintenance and upgrades from one crew

When a gas hot water unit dies in a rental, or an owner wants a split system, the same company that does the maintenance does the upgrade. No new trade to vet, no gap between them.

04
Compliance covered

Safety checks, smoke alarms and minimum-standards work all under one roof, with the due dates tracked so nothing lapses.

The whole experience of working with Powerband has been fantastic. From the get go they were helpful with the design, requirements and answering all the questions we had about the install. We couldn't be happier with choosing them for the job. Special thanks to Bailey and the team for getting the entire installation done in one day it was a huge job so for it to be done and to such a high standard is much appreciated Thanks everyone at Powerband for all you've done

We have just had a Braemer Dominator reverse cycle ducted system installed by the Powerband Electrical team to replace our gas-fired system. We were very happy with the whole process, from the sales/design discussions with Dayle to the installation by the team led by Julian and including Logan and Darren. Using the existing ducting had its challenges but the team overcame them well. Julian set up the AirTouch5 control system & zoning with us and with a sudden cold snap arriving it has proven simple to use to create a comfortable environment. In fact we are already finding it far more effective system than the considerably larger gas unit and a more uniform heat with less draughts. Thanks to the Powerband team. Ken in Glen Waverley

Petris and his electrical team did 2 inverter airconditioner installs as part of our whole solar system install. Great workers, good thinkers who could sort out a couple of small issues in short order and wonderful people to have around our house. Organised and professional. Highly recommend Powerband.

Had the Powerband team electrify out whole house. Updated the heating / cooling with split systems, replace gas cooktop & hot water and put solar on with a 30kw battery. No gas bill, solar is producing more energy than we consume. These days we barely even have the supply charge. As part of it, they put the package together of what we wanted and needed to future proof our house and showed us several options for paying for it, in the end we opted for a 5-year interest free loan. Looking at our numbers, most of the loan will be paid off from the savings from our gas and electricity savings. All the work and upgrades done and barely any out of pocket cost, nice.... The team were great - worked in with timing for the jobs when it worked for us. The boys on site were all great, friendly, polite and professional. Did the job well and packed up (and cleaned up) well. Happy to recommend Powerband to anyone wanting to electrify their house in a cost-effective way.
