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?
You may call us at 1300 181 970. You can also send us an email at [email protected].

We highly recommend Steven and his team. At all times they were professional and friendly. As the electrical inspector said upon arrival "If this is up to Steve's normal standards I wont need to be here long"

We are very pleased with the service provided. Steven arrived on time and manage to identify and fix our problem quickly. Definitely would recommend to family and friends.

We are not easily pleased, but Steven and his crew were fantastic. They were punctual, friendly and clean. They left their boots at the door and were unfazed when we wanted more works done without notice. What was meant to be a small 2 to 3 hour job ended up keeping him on the job until 8pm due to our fussiness, but the price remained as quoted. I would have no hesitation in recommending these guys. When you find a good tradie, you want to let others know about it! The workmanship was fantastic and throughout the process he kept us informed as to what would be required to finish the project to our standards.

The Steves turned up on time and were friendly, professional and efficient. They were very understanding of our desperate situation on the day of settlement for the sale of our apartment. We'll be recommending HTS to anyone we know that needs an electrician.

We will definitely be using Steve and his team again. Steve is really professional, on time, quotes well and produces a high quality job. I would recommend his work to anyone in need of an electrician.

These guys are awesome. Their quote was fair and reasonable and the outcome fantastic. Arrived on time, did a wonderful job and ensured they complied with safety standards, cleaned up and the work was exactly as we wanted. I must say, working on the top floor of an apartment block in St Kilda, which required getting on the roof, was no trivial issue. Good on you team. I will keep using you guys.

Steve and his worker were both very friendly. Their work was clean and they were very efficient. I would recommend them to anyone and their prices are very competitive.

We had a fair bit of electrical work done at our home. Steven is extremely professional and knows his job well. He also guided us regarding pendant lights, chandeliers and down lights. Very very hard working......gives his 100% into his job. I was impressed when he worked long hours over the weekend. Very polite and courteous as well.
Very friendly and cheerful. I am lucky to come across such a professional. He is definitely going to be my sparky for my future needs......
HIGHLY RECOMMEND him.

Steven is the best tradesman and electrician I have used. On time, friendly and reliable.
He is a genuinely nice young man and he is the only tradesman I have ever recommended to friends. He just doesn't do the work, he problem solves to get the result you want. A hard skill to find now a days.
I am happy to say that I would employ Steven from Hit the Switch for every electrical job I have in the future.
Highly recommended.
