What solar & battery in Avondale Heights involves
A solar system in Avondale Heights is only as good as its electrical work. Thunderman handles the licensed side: the panel wiring, battery storage installation, and the switchboard integration that ties it all into your home safely and to the AS/NZS 3000 standard.
In Victoria, the electrical installation and switchboard work for solar and battery must be done by a licensed electrician. Yiannis (REC 28523) makes sure the integration is safe, compliant and built to keep performing for years, whether it's a brand-new array or a battery added to existing panels on a Avondale Heights roof.

Why Avondale Heights is its own job
Avondale Heights is unusually uniform, and that makes the solar picture unusually predictable. The suburb was built out across the 1960s and into the 1970s as Melbourne's west expanded along the river, producing street after street of solid, generously proportioned brick homes on big blocks — good roof planes, few shading problems, and plenty of room for a battery in a garage. The catch is that a whole suburb is on switchboards and wiring now fifty-odd years old, much of it still with the original family or their children. The array is straightforward here; the board is the work. Yiannis prices the two as one job rather than discovering the second on the day.

Thunderman answers REC 28523, yes, and yes — with 4.9 stars across 53 Google reviews in Avondale Heights and the wider Melbourne North-West area.
Is Avondale Heights inside Thunderman’s service area?
Yes. Thunderman works across Avondale Heights and the rest of Melbourne North-West. He is one electrician, not a franchise with a roster, so the booking depends on the week — but the quote is free and the answer is honest.
How soon can you get to Avondale Heights?
Thunderman prioritises emergency call-outs across Avondale Heights. Yiannis will not quote an arrival time he cannot stand behind — but the phone is answered by the man who does the work, and Volt, the chat assistant here, is available any hour.
What will the job come to in Avondale Heights?
You will know before he starts, not after. A remote figure either pads the job for safety or undershoots and surprises you on the day, and neither is fair. Yiannis assesses it in Avondale Heights, tells you what he found, and quotes it free.
Can I check Thunderman’s licence?
Yes. The licence, REC 28523, is public — look it up. The insurance is current. And the work is certified on completion, which is the part that protects you with an insurer years later.
