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].

Steve has come to our house on 4 or 5 occasions always at short notice and has always been professional, polite, informative and positive about solutions and problem solving. Steve's work is of a very high standard and it is very clear from the moment you meet him that he cares about doing a professional job. He explains things very clearly and is willing to listen and respond accordingly. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to friends and family.

Steve has done three separate jobs for us now and he has been absolutely fantastic every time. He always answers the phone, always arrives on time and has gone out of his way many times to make sure we are happy with the end result.
He not only did all the electrical work we needed, but helped out with other odd jobs during our renovation and was a great source of advice and knowledge.
I would recommend Steve to anyone who needed a reliable and friendly electrician.

Steve recently did electrical work for me , his professionalism was outstanding, very courteous, polite. His work was second to none and better than any other sparky I have used. Being a single mum I found Steve to be very supportive and didn't mind answering the silly questions I had. I highly recommend Steve to anyone who needs electrical work done, and will be getting him back again soon for more work. Great work Steve !

Steven and Joe from Hit the Switch spent two days at our house performing a variety of electrical work. They were an absolute pleasure to deal with throughout the entire process, from quoting for the work through to billing. At all times they were completely professional in all aspects punctual, polite, tidy, paid attention to detail and finished all jobs to the highest standard. Steven had good ideas and suggestions that led to better solutions. They also thoroughly cleaned around the areas they worked in, and were very patient and friendly with our children. We would not hesitate in recommending Steven and Joe to anyone needing electrical work done, and will be using them again in the near future.
