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?

My family has used Steven from hit the switch for several years now and we can not speak highly enough of him and his work ethic. He is the first trades person that has ever contacted me several times after the work was complete to check how everything was going and if the work was too our satisfaction. I have never experienced that level of service before and found it outstanding. That he went that extra mile to ensure we were satisfied is something that remains with me and gives me confidence to recommend hit the witch to all my friends and family. he was always on time, friendly and considerate and i had no problems leaving him alone in my house whilst he completed several days work there. It was of great importance to me to know that when our house was rewired it was done to the highest standards of excellence and safety, particularly as i have young children. Thanks Steven.

Really impressed by the outstanding service provided by Steve and his team. They installed LED lighting, smoke alarms and addressed an issue with flickering lights when certain appliances were turned on. Professional and courteous throughout, Steve responded promptly to my inquiry and continued to communicate with me throughout the process. He called the power company on my behalf to address a specific technical issue which was resolved on the same day. His attention to detail an willingness to take time to explain and advise on the options was much appreciated. I will have no hesitation in using Hit The Switch for electrical work in the future.

We called Steven from Hit The Switch for our electrical emergency. He answered the phone right away and rescheduled us in that morning. He arrived an hour later and fixed the problem in no time. He was friendly, reliable and extremely efficient. He was the first tradesman to ask how we enjoyed Hit The Switch's service. Absolutely fantastic. He put a smile on my face. Its great to find a tradesman who cares. Will definitely tell my friends and family.

Steven is professional, friendly, shows up when he says he will and completes the work he commits to. We have used him many times over the past few years and would not use anyone else. When we've had an emergency, he has responded timely (even on a Sunday). He and his staff are extremely hard working and reliable. He answers any question and assists in making decisions, when asked. He follows up timely to ensure we are satisfied with the end result. We recommend him to all friends.

Steve is a true professional. He was punctual, friendly, extremely efficient and gets it right. He certainly "Hits the Switch" for me because now I feel safe - not only because he installed my security lights but because his attention to detail made me feel brighter.
I will certainly use Hit the Switch again and recommend him to my friends.

Steven and his technician Steve were courteous and professional (punctual, good technical knowledge & skills). His service level exceeded my expectations. I am unable to commend on how his fees compare with others as I didn't get any other quotes.

Steve came around to quote for a small job I had and he arrived on time to quote for the job and then exceeded my expectations in his service, professionalism and the work he performed the next morning. Thanks Steve, so much, for your amazing service. I definitely recommend Hit The Switch for any work you have in the world of electrical work.
