Werribee

Werribee, from the switchboard up

Werribee has the oldest housing in Wyndham around the town centre and the river, 1950s to 80s weatherboard and brick veneer on full blocks, and newer estates on the edges. The older homes are almost all on gas, and the estates range from gas-connected to fully electric.

Because Werribee 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.

Werribee is about 70 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.

What we do in Werribee

Every service, written for Werribee homes

The order below is the order that pays back fastest in Werribee's brick veneer: ducted heating and hot water first, then solar and battery sized to the new electric load, then the rest.

Older Werribee homes with ducted gas get reverse cycle on new R1.5 insulated ducts, and those with wall furnaces get split systems. Either way the house gets cooling for Werribee's hot summers and the VEU discount applies. Every system is installed by our own ARC-licensed technicians.

  • Braemar, Mitsubishi Electric, Hisense
  • New R1.5 insulated ducts
  • VEU discount on the quote
Heating & Cooling across Melbourne

Most Werribee 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.

  • Reclaim, iStore, Emerald
  • One-day changeover
  • VEU and STCs applied
Hot Water Systems across Melbourne

Werribee roofs are flat-terrain, unshaded and take 6.6kW to 10kW. The 3030 postcode is one of the highest solar-uptake areas in Victoria, so upgrades to early systems are a big part of the work. We lodge the Solar Victoria rebate and loan and the federal battery discount for you.

  • 6.6kW to 13kW typical
  • Sigenergy, Tesla Powerwall, GoodWe
  • Solar Victoria rebate and loan lodged
Solar & Battery across Melbourne

A full Werribee 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.

  • Staged plan from one inspection
  • Gas meter abolishment arranged
  • Every trade in-house
Home Electrification across Melbourne

Werribee has a mix of single and three-phase supply, and the older homes often need a board upgrade first. We check before quoting a charger set to solar-first. Certificate of Electrical Safety issued on every install.

EV Chargers across Melbourne

Werribee has a large rental market, and we do the two-yearly electrical safety checks Victorian rental providers need, smoke alarm and switchboard compliance and the heating upgrades landlords are asked for. Per-property reports and tenant access handled by us.

Why Powerband here

Worth the drive across the West Gate

We are not the closest electrician to Werribee. We aim to be the one that does the whole job, once, for a fixed price.

01
Local company, not a franchise

You call the office in Somerville and get the people who will actually do the job in Werribee, not a call centre that passes it on.

02
A-Grade licensed, in-house crews

Electrical, refrigeration and plumbing for hot water all done by Powerband employees. No subcontractors, and the same faces from quote to handover.

03
VEU, Solar Victoria and STCs applied

Werribee qualifies for every Victorian and federal incentive going. All of them are on the quote before you see it, and we lodge the paperwork.

04
Fixed price, no surprises

Switchboard upgrades, duct replacement and gas capping are priced into the quote after the site inspection, so the number you approve is the number you pay.

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.

FAQ

Werribee questions

Anything else, call 0466 355 441.

Is Werribee eligible for Victorian Energy Upgrades discounts?

Yes. Werribee 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.

Is Werribee too far for Powerband?

No. Werribee is part of the western suburbs we cover. We plan the full job at one inspection so installs run to schedule, and the same in-house crew does every trade.

How quickly can you get to Werribee for a quote?

Usually within the week. Our depot is in Somerville, about 70 minutes from Werribee, and we plan western suburbs inspections so the drive does not hold your job up.

Do Werribee homes have enough roof for solar and a battery?

Nearly all of them. A typical Werribee brick veneer takes 6.6kW to 10kW, and larger homes take more. We size to your usage and to whatever gas appliances you are replacing.

Which suburbs around Werribee do you cover?

All of them. Wyndham Vale, Hoppers Crossing and Manor Lakes and the rest of Melbourne's western suburbs, and across Melbourne. See the locations page for the full list.
