Strictly speaking, the subjunctive mood should be used in conditional sentences. 'Were' in this context is an example of the subjunctive mood.
Examples:
'If I were you, I would return the money immediately.'
'They asked me if I were rich.'
'He would ban drinking in public places if he were the mayor.'
'I wondered whether she were happy in her new home.'
In practice, in spoken English, the indicative mood is often used instead:
'I wondered whether she was happy in her new home.'
Like so many other aspects of English usage, it depends on context, on whom you are speaking to or writing for, on how formal you wish or need to be, and so on.
