Quick answer
Thunderman Electrical and Air Conditioning Services covers every electrical trade across Greater Melbourne — residential, commercial, industrial, air conditioning, solar & battery, specialty and emergency work. Owner-operated by licensed electrician Yiannis Knodarites (REC 28523, VBA-licensed, ARCtick certified), to the AS/NZS 3000 standard. Free quotes — call 0434 254 474.
Most sparkies pick a lane, then subcontract the rest. Yiannis doesn’t. Because he holds the electrical licence (REC 28523), the ARCtick certification for handling refrigerant, and a VBA licence, one person can legally cover the electrical side, the aircon install and its refrigerant work, and the licensed part of a solar and battery job — no juggling three trades who each blame the other when something goes wrong.
Every job runs to the AS/NZS 3000 wiring standard and closes with a Certificate of Electrical Safety lodged with Energy Safe Victoria — that’s not an extra, it’s what makes fixed electrical work legal in this state. And because Thunderman is one licensed electrician rather than a crew, he’s honest about it: on a large commercial or industrial job he’ll tell you where his capacity sits before you pay a deposit, not after.
Each trade below has its own page with the detail — what’s involved, what’s compliant, and the questions worth asking before you book. Pick the one that fits, or tell Yiannis what’s going on and he’ll point you the right way.

Pages worth reading before you call
Switchboard upgrades
Old ceramic-fuse board replaced with a compliant switchboard — an RCD on every circuit, RCBOs for the big loads, and a Certificate of Electrical Safety lodged. The most common upgrade on Melbourne's older homes.
Read →Aircon installation
Split-system, multi-split and ducted reverse-cycle — installed by one licensed electrician who is also ARCtick certified, so the electrical and the refrigerant are one certified job, not two trades.
Read →EV charger installation
A 7 kW home wall connector on its own dedicated circuit, with the switchboard checked for headroom and load management set up so the car doesn't trip the house — installed and certified.
Read →Solar panel installation
Rooftop solar and battery by an SAA-accredited installer who is also a licensed electrician — the panels, the switchboard and the grid connection as one job, eligible for the incentives an unaccredited installer can't unlock.
Read →Property managers
