Why builders use us

One contractor for the whole electric home

New homes in Victoria are all-electric. That means every build now needs solar, a reverse cycle system, a heat pump hot water unit, an induction cooktop and an EV-ready circuit as well as the standard electrical fit-out, and on most sites that is four or five separate subcontractors to price, schedule and chase. Powerband does all of it with its own crews, designed from the plans as one system and installed to your program.

We have been building complete electric homes for Melbourne owners for years, which means the solar, HVAC and hot water specs are already sorted, the switchboards are sized for the load, and the EV circuit is in the wall before the plaster goes on.

What we do for builders

Fit-out to fully electric

Standard electrical, the all-electric services package, and the site works in between.

01
Full electrical fit-outs

Rough-in to fit-off on new residential builds, townhouse developments and renovations. Switchboards, circuits, lighting, power, data, smoke alarms and safety switches, to plan and to program.

02
All-electric packages, one contractor

Solar and battery, ducted reverse cycle, heat pump hot water, induction and EV pre-wiring, designed together at plan stage and installed by our own crews. One quote, one site contact, one set of compliance certificates.

03
Pre-wiring and future-proofing

EV charger circuits, battery-ready switchboards, solar conduit runs and three-phase where the design calls for it, done at rough-in when it costs almost nothing rather than after handover when it costs a fortune.

04
Underground and site works

Underground consumer mains, pit and conduit installation, temporary builder's supply and connection coordination for new lots and developments.

How we work

Plans in, handover pack out

Designed to fit a build program, not interrupt it.

  1. 01
    Plans in, design back

    Send the drawings. We return an electrical and all-electric services design with switchboard sizing, circuit schedule, solar and HVAC layouts, and a fixed price per lot or per stage.

  2. 02
    Rough-in to program

    Our crews work to your build program. Rough-in, pre-wire and conduit runs are scheduled around frame, plaster and lock-up, not around us.

  3. 03
    Fit-off and commissioning

    Fit-off, switchboard, solar, HVAC, hot water and EV charger commissioning in the final weeks. Everything tested before your handover walk-through.

  4. 04
    Certificates and handover pack

    Certificates of Electrical Safety, compliance documentation, warranties and a homeowner handover guide for every lot, delivered as one pack.

All-electric by default

The spec has changed. We already build to it

Gas is out of new Victorian homes. Here is what that means for your builds and your buyers.

01
All-electric new homes

Victoria requires new homes to be all-electric, and buyers now expect solar, a heat pump and an EV circuit as standard. We make that spec straightforward to deliver.

02
STCs on solar and hot water

Federal small-scale technology certificates come off the price of every solar system and heat pump hot water unit we install on your builds.

03
A selling point at handover

An all-electric home with solar, battery and EV charging is a stronger listing and a cheaper home to run. We supply the homeowner handover guide that explains it.

Why Powerband

Fewer subbies, fewer problems

Every trade the electric home needs, employed by one company, working to one program.

01
Every trade under one roof

Electrical, refrigeration, plumbing for hot water, solar and EV. No coordinating four subbies, no gaps between them, no finger-pointing when something is late.

02
Built for the all-electric standard

New Victorian homes are all-electric by default. We have been designing and installing complete electric homes for years, so the spec is already right.

03
Fixed per-lot pricing

Priced from the plans and held. Variations only when the plans change, and quoted before the work happens.

04
A-Grade, insured, REC 32300

Licensed with Energy Safe Victoria, VBA registered, ARC authorised, CEC accredited. Public liability and workers cover supplied on request.

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

Questions builders ask

Anything else, call 0466 355 441. You will get someone who reads plans, not a call centre.

Do you work with volume builders or just custom homes?

Both. Custom builds, renovations, townhouse and unit developments, and staged volume work. Per-lot fixed pricing and crews that scale with your program.

Can you do the whole all-electric package, not just the wiring?

Yes, and that is the point. Solar, battery, ducted reverse cycle, heat pump hot water, induction and EV charging are designed and installed by our own people alongside the electrical fit-out. One contractor, one warranty pack.

Do you price from plans?

Yes. Send the drawings and we return a fixed per-lot or per-stage price with a switchboard schedule and services layout. Site visits are for verification, not for pricing.

How do you handle variations?

Quoted in writing before the work happens, only when the plans or the client's selections change. No surprise invoices at handover.

Do you supply compliance documentation?

Certificates of Electrical Safety on every job, plus refrigeration, plumbing and solar compliance where those trades are involved, delivered as a single handover pack per lot.

What about underground and site power?

Underground consumer mains, pits and conduits, temporary builder's supply and coordination with the distributor for new connections.

Which areas do you cover?

All of Melbourne including the growth corridors, from the inner suburbs to the Mornington Peninsula. We are based in Somerville. See the locations page or call and we will confirm.
