A-Grade electricians who do the whole job: solar and batteries, reverse cycle heating and cooling, heat pump hot water, induction and EV charging across Footscray, Seddon and Yarraville. Free site inspections, fixed quotes, every rebate lodged for you.
Footscray is two suburbs for our work. Around the station, Nicholson Street and the river there are apartment towers and townhouse blocks, most of them rentals under an owners corporation. Behind them, towards Seddon and West Footscray, the streets are Victorian and Edwardian workers cottages and postwar weatherboards on narrow lots, many with a gas wall furnace in the lounge and a gas storage tank out the back.
Because Footscray is on mains gas and inside the VEU area, the usual 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. The west also runs hotter in summer than the bay and eastern suburbs, so the reverse cycle system that replaces the gas heater earns its keep twice a year.
Footscray is about 60 minutes from our Somerville depot. We plan west-side work so one inspection covers the whole house and installs are booked to run to schedule, and everything is done by Powerband employees, not subcontractors, for a fixed after-rebate price.
Rental compliance, induction and EV charging lead in Footscray's apartments and townhouses. The houses behind them get the full off-gas treatment.
Footscray has one of the larger rental markets in the west, and we do the two-yearly electrical safety checks Victorian rental providers need, smoke alarm and switchboard compliance, and the heat pump and split system upgrades landlords are asked for. Per-property reports and tenant access handled by us.
Real Estate across MelbourneOnce heating and hot water are electric, the cooktop is the last gas appliance in most Footscray kitchens and the reason the supply charge keeps arriving. We supply and install the induction cooktop and run the dedicated circuit, usually in half a day.
Induction Cooktops across MelbourneFor Footscray apartments we handle the owners corporation submission, load management and metering that shared-supply charging needs. For houses with their own supply it is a dedicated circuit and a charger set to solar-first. Certificate of Electrical Safety issued on every install.
In the cottages the heating is usually a gas wall furnace or a space heater in one room, so the upgrade is a high-wall split system or a multi-head that heats and cools the whole house. Installed by our ARC-licensed technicians, with the VEU discount on the quote.
Most Footscray homes still have a gas storage or instantaneous unit, and when it fails it is usually replaced like for like. 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. It uses about a quarter of the energy and is usually the fastest-paying step off gas.
Hot Water Systems across MelbourneCottage roofs in Footscray are small and often split by a chimney or a lean-to, so the right array is usually 3kW to 6.6kW on the best-facing plane. Apartment owners are better served by a heat pump and induction than by fighting for roof space. We lodge the Solar Victoria rebate and loan and the federal battery discount for you.
Solar & Battery across MelbourneA full Footscray 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. Footscray 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.
Yes, and in the cottages we usually have to. Plenty still have ceramic fuses and no safety switches. We quote the board upgrade separately so you can see what it covers, and it is often what makes the heat pump or induction job possible.
Usually within the week. Our depot is in Somerville, about 60 minutes from Footscray, and we plan western suburbs inspections so the drive does not hold your job up.
It varies. Houses and townhouses usually take a modest array, apartments usually cannot take an individual system. We tell you honestly what your roof can do before you spend anything.
All of them. Seddon, Yarraville and Kingsville and the rest of Melbourne's western suburbs, and across Melbourne. See the locations page for the full list.
