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 Laverton, Williams Landing and Seabrook. Free site inspections, fixed quotes, every rebate lodged for you.
Laverton grew around the RAAF base and the railway, and the original housing is 1950s and 60s weatherboard and brick, much of it now being replaced with townhouses and new homes. Original homes are usually gas heated with older switchboards, and the new builds are the easy end of electrification.
Because Laverton 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.
Laverton 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.
Ordered by what pays back fastest in Laverton's postwar housing: heating and hot water first, then solar and battery sized to the new electric load.
Original Laverton homes are usually heated by a gas wall furnace or an older ducted system. We fit split systems or a ducted reverse cycle unit on new R1.5 insulated ducts, with the VEU discount applied. Every system is installed by our own ARC-licensed technicians.
Most Laverton 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.
Laverton roofs are flat-terrain, unshaded and simple, and 6.6kW is typical. New homes often came with a small system that can be expanded. We lodge the Solar Victoria rebate and loan and the federal battery discount for you.
A full Laverton 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.
The induction swap is the smallest job on this page and the one that finally lets a Laverton home cancel the gas account. Dedicated circuit, cooktop supplied or yours installed, gas capped by our plumber.
Induction Cooktops across MelbourneOriginal Laverton homes often need a board upgrade before a charger. We check before quoting and include it in the fixed price when it is needed. Certificate of Electrical Safety issued on every install.

Yes. Laverton 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.
Often. Original boards with ceramic fuses do not have the capacity or safety switches that modern appliances need. We tell you at the inspection and price it separately.
Usually within the week. Our depot is in Somerville, about 60 minutes from Laverton, and we plan western suburbs inspections so the drive does not hold your job up.
Nearly all of them. A standard Laverton home takes 6.6kW to 10kW comfortably with little shade. We size to your usage and to whatever gas appliances you are replacing.
All of them. Williams Landing, Seabrook and Altona Meadows and the rest of Melbourne's western suburbs, and across Melbourne. See the locations page for the full list.
