Max Power Electrical

Power your home on electricity &
put a stop to expensive gas bills.

Technology advancements in modern electric appliances mean they are super efficient and can be powered by solar. Switch your home to all-electric and make the most of renewable energy with solar panels. And by investing in a solar battery you can increase savings by storing solar power and relying less on the electricity grid. Solar power saves an average home $1,000 per year and $2,000 per year with a solar battery, which is $20,000 over ten years. By switching hot water from gas to electric and gas heating to electric you can save even more!

Efficient Electric Homes

An all-electric home future-proofs your home if gas gets phased out. Currently, all new homes built in Victoria must be electric – no gas, as the state looks to cut carbon emissions. But the savings you get from an all-electric home are probably a much bigger incentive, as it’s an immediate benefit. An all-electric, solar-powered home can reduce power bills by up to 70% by eliminating gas use and relying on renewable energy. More importantly, it protects you from rising gas prices and ongoing supply charges, giving you more control over your energy costs.

A typical Melbourne home uses gas to power hot water, ducted heating, plus cooling and stoves and ovens. This translates into large gas bills, especially in Melbourne’s cold winters. Max Power can switch your home to all-electric and cut out the gas, it’s an investment that pays back by slashing bills by up to 70% if you have solar. No more gas bills! 

How Much Can You Save?

Save Money and Reduce Your Carbon footprint

An all electric home not only saves you cash but reduces your carbon emissions which is great for the environment. Imagine never getting a gas bill again even at the peak of a frosty Melbourne winter. Those winter gas bills are usually over $500!  If you combine an all-electric home with solar power you will again spend less on bills and further reduce carbon emissions.

Max Power Electrical is a one-stop shop for an all-electric home. Our experienced electricians will assess your home and then upgrade all the electrical from mains to 3-phase power that suits solar panels and solar batteries. Plus electric heat pumps for hot water and split systems for heating and cooling. This electrical upgrade will mean your home no longer needs expensive gas for power but is all electric.

Rebates for Switching to an All Electric Home

If you are looking to switch to an all-electric home and want to install solar panels or a solar battery, the Vic & Federal governments provide rebates. Plus, you may be eligible for rebates on new electric hot water and heating.

Solar panels have an average payback period of 5 years, and they cost an average of $5000 to $7000. We are also a clean energy-approved solar retailer, which means we use quality-made panels and are experts in solar installation. Plus, we apply for and complete all the paperwork for your solar rebates. Battery incentives are now provided through a Federal program rather than the Victorian Government, and are applied upfront, meaning you pay less from the start without needing to claim money back later.

All Electric Homes Make Financial Sense

Research by Renew, which is an expert independent body that provides advice to industry and government on renewable, sustainable energy solutions, advises that even if you are just switching one or two appliances from gas to electricity, you will still be better off financially. According to the Victorian Government, households can save up to $460 per year on energy bills and $1,610 upfront when upgrading to an efficient reverse cycle air conditioner.

By switching your heating, cooling, hot water and cooking to electric, you could save hundreds each year in gas connection and supply charges. And electric appliances don’t carry a carbon monoxide risk.

Older gas appliances are not nearly as energy efficient as modern electric appliances. For example, reverse cycle split system air conditioners are also heaters. In fact,  a lot of other parts of the world use these not ducted heaters, they are commonly referred to as heat pumps. Our team will advise you on the right size system and the best location to install it. Not only are these powered by electricity they are extremely energy efficient so cost much less to run than ducted heating.

We recommend Just Plumb for the plumbing installation of a heat pump. They can install a heat pump hot water system with the following benefits;

Why Act Now?

Switching to an all-electric home isn’t just about long-term savings; timing plays a big role in how much you save upfront.

Government incentives are available now, but they don’t last forever. Many rebates and discounts are reviewed regularly and can be reduced or changed without notice.

At the same time, demand for installations increases heading into winter and summer, which can lead to longer wait times and limited availability.
