Solar & Battery in Essendon — common questions
Do I need a licensed electrician for solar or battery in Essendon?
Yes. The electrical installation and switchboard integration must be done by a licensed electrician. Thunderman is REC 28523.
Can Thunderman add a battery to my existing Essendon solar?
Yes. Yiannis integrates battery storage with existing solar and your switchboard, safely and to standard.
Is there a sparky in Essendon worth trusting?
Ask three questions of anyone you call. What is your licence number? Is the person quoting the person working? Do I get a Certificate of Electrical Safety? Thunderman answers REC 28523, yes, and yes — with 4.9 stars across 53 Google reviews in Essendon and the wider Melbourne North-West area.
Can I get a Thunderman electrician in Essendon?
Yes. Thunderman works across Essendon 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.
What should I do in an electrical emergency in Essendon?
There is no fixed arrival time on offer. A solo sparky who guarantees one is guessing. What you get instead is emergencies prioritised across Essendon and Melbourne North-West, and a straight answer on the phone about when he can be there. 0434 254 474.
Will I get a surprise invoice in Essendon?
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 Essendon is a free assessment, a plain-English explanation of what the work involves, and a quote you approve first.
Are you a licensed electrician in Essendon?
Yes, and the licence is worth verifying: REC 28523 with EnergySafe Victoria, plus ARCtick certification for refrigerant work. Fully insured. In Victoria, fixed electrical work carried out by anyone unlicensed is not merely risky — it is unlawful.
