What air conditioning in Thornbury involves
Air conditioning in Thornbury 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 Thornbury summer, that means cooling installed right, running efficiently, and compliant on both the electrical and refrigerant fronts.

Why Thornbury is its own job
A classic Thornbury Californian bungalow was built to run a few lights and a wireless, not a reverse-cycle split in every bedroom — which is why the switchboard upgrade tends to come before the aircon here. The original meter box usually carries ceramic rewireable fuses and no safety switches, so families moving in book the board first, then the split systems and ceiling fans that make the house liveable through a Melbourne summer. Often a service upgrade comes with it so the incoming supply can carry the new cooling load. Yiannis is ARCtick-certified for the refrigerant side as well as licensed for the wiring, so it's all one job.

Air Conditioning in Thornbury — common questions
Can Thunderman supply, install and wire aircon in Thornbury?
Yes. As a licensed electrician and ARCtick certified, Thunderman handles the unit, the dedicated circuit and the switchboard side in one job.
What is ARCtick, and why should I care?
Not legally, no. An electrician can run the circuit; only an ARCtick-certified person may handle the refrigerant. Yiannis holds both, which is why the compliance paperwork on an aircon install comes from one person rather than two.
Does Thunderman service existing air conditioning in Thornbury?
Yes. Servicing, maintenance and repairs for split, multi-head and ducted systems.

Thunderman is owner-operated. Yiannis Knodarites holds REC 28523 and does the work himself, so there is no subcontractor to blame and no call centre in between. Whether that suits your job in Thornbury is worth a phone call, and the quote costs nothing. 0434 254 474.
