On the ground in Reservoir
Why Reservoir is its own job
A hard trip on a circuit that hasn't faulted in years is the classic call here, and in the pre-war homes it usually traces to crumbling cloth-and-rubber insulation that has finally let go — sometimes a slow burn at a junction box, sometimes a dead run. Because so many old roofs sit under heavy gum canopy, a strong front tends to drop a service line, and that tree-fall outage is the after-hours job Yiannis fields most. He takes the phone himself, makes the fault safe first, then works out whether one circuit needs replacing or the whole board does.

Emergency Electrician in Reservoir — common questions
Can I get an after-hours electrician in Reservoir?
Thunderman covers emergency work throughout Reservoir and the wider Melbourne North area. Yiannis prioritises urgent jobs and gives you a straight answer about timing rather than a window he cannot keep. Call 0434 254 474, or ask Volt on this page at any hour.
My safety switch keeps tripping in Reservoir — what should I do?
First, the good news: a safety switch that trips is doing its job. It has found a fault and cut the power, and resetting it over and over just hides the problem. Switch off at the mains if it's safe, then call Thunderman on 0434 254 474. Yiannis traces what's actually tripping it and fixes that.
What counts as an electrical emergency?
A burning smell, visible scorching, sparks or exposed conductors all mean the same thing: switch off at the mains if it is safe, keep everyone clear, and call 0434 254 474. Do not open the board or attempt a repair — that is licensed work, and it is dangerous.
Which electrician should I call in Reservoir?
That depends on the job, and any sparky who tells you otherwise is selling. What Thunderman can show you instead: a Registered Electrical Contractor licence, REC 28523, that you can look up on the EnergySafe Victoria register; 4.9 stars across 53 Google reviews; and one owner, Yiannis Knodarites, who quotes the work and then does it.
Do you work in Reservoir?
Yes. Reservoir 3073 sits inside the regular run, about 17 km from the Craigieburn base. Call 0434 254 474 and Yiannis will tell you straight whether he can fit the job in.
Do you take urgent call-outs in Reservoir?
Honestly, it depends on where Yiannis is standing. He is one licensed electrician, not a fleet, so he will not promise a window he cannot keep. Emergencies in Reservoir go to the front of the queue, and Volt, the chat assistant on this site, answers any hour and can talk you through what is safe.
How much does an electrician cost in Reservoir?
Thunderman does not publish figures, because a figure given without seeing the job is a guess dressed up as a promise. What you get in Reservoir is a free assessment, a plain-English explanation of what the work involves, and a quote you approve first.
Is Thunderman licensed and insured to work in Reservoir?
REC 28523, fully insured, working to AS/NZS 3000 across Reservoir and Melbourne North. Yiannis also holds the ARCtick certification, so an aircon circuit and its refrigerant work are one accountable person rather than two trades.
What paperwork do I get after the job in Reservoir?
Certification is not optional in Victoria for fixed electrical work, and Thunderman treats it that way. The Certificate of Electrical Safety is lodged when the job is finished, and a copy is yours to keep.
