FAQs
I notice you’re a master electrician. Does that mean you’re expensive?
No, it means we’re good. Accredited master electricians are recognised by their peers as being both skilled and knowledgeable, so you can rest easy knowing that your job will be done right.
I just need some new power points installed. Is that too small a job for you?
No, we do large jobs and small jobs; it’s all part of the service. And do not even think about doing it yourself. It might look easy, but you could get electrocuted, start a fire, and make your insurance null and void.
I’ve just bought a house that’s 50 years old. Does it need re-wiring?
Not necessarily. We normally say that houses over 60 years old may need rewiring, but every case is different, and it’s best to err on the side of safety. Even if there’s no apparent danger, old wiring can play havoc with your computers and devices. Call us and we’ll put your mind at rest.
What type of smoke alarm do you recommend?
Photo-electric: detect visible smoke and slow-smouldering fires. They are suitable for most locations, including near the kitchen, as they are less prone to false alarms from cooking. Ionisation: detect particles of smoke from fast-flaming fires. All fire services in Australia recommend photo-electric smoke alarms when installing or replacing existing smoke alarms. For additional protection, consider installing interconnected smoke alarms connected to 240-volt mains power.
What are your business hours?
We are available 24-hours a day, seven days a week.
Should I replace my old fuse box with a new switchboard?
Yes, if you have an old fuse box, it needs to be upgraded because, like most things, when they get old, they become brittle, cable connections become loose, and there is no safety protection device to protect you, your kids, family and friends, animals, and appliances from electric shocks. When you get us to upgrade your fuse box, we upgrade it to meet the rules and regulations of AS3000. This means that your new switchboard will have the appropriate circuit breakers and safety switches.
Do you do air conditioning?
Yes, we are qualified air-conditioning installers. We specialise in split-system air conditioners (also called wall air conditioners) and can supply and professionally install all the top brands at very competitive prices.
How can we contact you?

Reviews

We are very happy with the work Hit The Switch has performed for us and highly recommend. From initially contacting Bernie at the office who arranged a convenient time for us, Steven providing us clear guidance and a detailed estimate for the works and then to Steven, Nick and Angus carrying out the work in a timely and professional manner. They went the extra mile in listening and communicating with us, checking and sorting out our exhaust fan issues and in installing our new smoke detectors, new power points and light switches and cleaning up after the works. Thanks to all at Hit the Switch.

I have used Hit the Switch for many years. They have consistently been professional, reliable and we have been delighted with the work they have done. I could not recommend them any more highly.

Highly recommended!
If you are looking for a responsive, efficient, honest and professional service, look no further than “Hit the Switch”.
Steven is a great electrician to deal with, he is friendly, courteous and reliable. Steven even sent a text beforehand with his ETA, arrived on time and made a friendly phone call upon arrival (twice). His attention to detail, follow up and communication is second to none!
We will definitely call Steven again when the need arises.

I was very impressed with the service I received from Steven from Hit The Switch.
The service was efficient, arrived on time and if not on time was kept up to date regularly when they would arrive. Very clean, tidied up after the job, friendly and polite. I only had power points and light switches replaced, Steven was happy to do being only a small job. would definitely recommend.

We have used HTS for 2 jobs, and on both occasions they were prompt, stuck to the agreed timeline, did a great job, and cleaned up afterwards. I asked Steve to quote for a third job which required an underground cable to power electric gates. He showed me how to do it without using an electrician (12 volt instead of 240), and even loaned me a jack hammer to make the job tons easier. They have earned my trust. I will never need to look for an alternative.

I use Hit The Switch for the first time last week. They were very friendly, professional and on time. The job also came in under quote. Very impressed and very happy, especially with the communication. They will now be my preferred electrical installer. Highly recommended.
