What air conditioning in Reservoir involves
Air conditioning in Reservoir is really two trades in one job. The refrigerant work needs ARCtick certification, and the electrical needs a VBA licence. Thunderman holds both, so the unit, the dedicated circuit and the switchboard side are handled by one person, with no juggling a salesperson and a subcontractor.
Yiannis sizes the system to the room rather than over-selling it, installs split, multi-head and ducted systems cleanly, and tests everything before he leaves. He also services and repairs existing aircon. Through a Reservoir summer, that means cooling installed right, running efficiently, and compliant on both the electrical and refrigerant fronts.
On the ground in Reservoir
Why Reservoir is its own job
On the post-war Housing Commission streets east of Plenty Road, double-brick walls and concrete floors mean there's nowhere to bury a new aircon cable — so a reverse-cycle install here often runs surface-mounted in neat trunking rather than fished through a cavity. Older boards on this stock frequently need a safety switch and a dedicated sub-circuit added before a compressor goes anywhere near them. On the pre-war cottages nearer the station the wiring is older still, and the aircon circuit gets folded into the staged rewire rather than bolted onto tired cable. Yiannis carries both the electrical and ARCtick tickets, so one visit covers the wiring and the refrigerant.

Air Conditioning in Reservoir — common questions
Can Thunderman supply, install and wire aircon in Reservoir?
Yes — the whole job, one person. Yiannis holds the electrical licence for the circuit and the switchboard, and the ARCtick certification for the refrigerant, so nothing waits on a second trade.
Can any electrician install air conditioning in Reservoir?
Refrigerant is regulated: handling it without ARCtick certification is unlawful. The wiring is regulated too, and needs an electrical licence. Most installs involve two trades because most people hold one ticket. Thunderman holds both.
Do you maintain ducted systems in Reservoir?
Yes — servicing and repairs on split, multi-head and ducted systems, whoever installed them. If a unit has stopped cooling, the cause is as often electrical as it is refrigerant, and Yiannis can look at both.
Who is the best electrician in Reservoir?
There is no official ranking to point at, so here is what is checkable: licence REC 28523 on the EnergySafe Victoria register, ARCtick certification for refrigerant work, 4.9 stars across 53 Google reviews, and the same pair of hands from the quote to the Certificate of Electrical Safety.
Do you work in Reservoir?
Yes. Thunderman works across Reservoir and the rest of Melbourne North. 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.
Do you take urgent call-outs in Reservoir?
Urgent faults in Reservoir jump the queue. Yiannis works alone, so the honest answer to “how fast” is “ring me and I will tell you”. If you smell burning or see sparks, switch off at the mains if it is safe to do so, then call 0434 254 474.
Will I get a surprise invoice in Reservoir?
No two switchboards are the same, so Thunderman quotes rather than guesses. Yiannis looks at the scope, the materials and the access, explains in plain English what drives the number, and gives you the figure before any work starts. The quote is free. 0434 254 474.
Are you a licensed electrician in Reservoir?
Yes. Registered Electrical Contractor, licence REC 28523 — a number you can check on the EnergySafe Victoria register rather than take on trust. Fully insured, and every job in Reservoir runs to the AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules.
Is the work in Reservoir certified?
Yes. For the fixed electrical work that requires one, Thunderman lodges a Certificate of Electrical Safety with EnergySafe Victoria. It is not paperwork for its own sake: it is what proves to you, to your insurer and to the regulator that the work was done to standard.
