FAQschevron down

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].

A true emergency electrician having recently attended to our property which lost all its power due to a tall truck road incident taking out the wiring. Steven thank you for prioritising this job and treating it like the real emergency that it was. Attendance to the job was quick and the service was professional.Thank you also for listening regarding mitigating the risk of re-occurrence and getting the approval from the appropriate authorities to proceed this way. The relevant part required to complete the job was sourced very quickly even though it wasn't readily available. Steven was very focused, efficient and extremely easy to deal with, providing updates for every step along the way. From experience, many others would not have gone to these lengths to satisfy their client. A highly recommended electrician which I would use again without any hesitation.

The two Steves were great to do business with. Very friendly and professional. I think they enjoyed overcoming our tricky wiring problems - quite innovative. I feel safer in my house now. Recommended.

Thank you so much Steven! Do you know you are so important for my business. The dumplings machine couldn’t work if you didn’t come to fix the machine ASAP. Thank you for your professional technology. You are so kind!
I will recommend you to my friends.

I was given Steven's number on a late Sunday afternoon, and he came over by my next available day off, the Tuesday. I wanted my existing circuit breaker upgraded to individual circuit breakers.

Steven was punctual, polite, and professional. He did not over or under quote. He was honest with his opinion. He had another team member come the next day, Steve, and had the whole thing done as quoted. They were good with communicating and informed us when they were running a bit late. The whole issue was sorted from beginning to end in 24 hours, with utmost professionalism. Photos were taken for my records, and receipts were emailed and marked very clearly the itemised work.

I have been happy with the results and I would not hesitate to use them again . Also I would definitely recommend Hit The Switch to friends and family.

I often have trouble dealing with tradespeople, but not so with Steven from Hit the Switch. The service was extremely professional, very easy and very friendly. Steven put me very much at ease and took over the problem for me. I would highly recommend this company.

We have recently had our family home rewired by Hit The Switch. Steven promptly visited the property to assess our needs and provided a detailed written quote in a timely manner. Work commenced on the agreed date and was completed to our satisfaction by Steven and his colleague Steven. We were fully informed about progress on a daily basis. When issues arose, we were consulted and involved in the decision-making process. Steven and Steven were always polite, friendly, respectful and professional. They listened to our concerns and provided helpful advice - nothing was too much trouble. Our property was treated with great care. On completion of the works, it was left extremely clean and tidy. The team at Hit The Switch take pride in their work and we have no hesitation in recommending them. Thank you for providing a great service.

We initially asked Hit the Switch to confirm the integrity of our old existing wiring and switchboard which Steven undertook and provided us with a clear written report of recommendations. Steven took the time to answer all our many queries and provided a detailed quote. The work necessary was completed to our satisfaction, in a timely manner and impressively included the cleanup of all work areas! Thank you to Steven and team member Steven for their caring approach and professional work done.

I was so impressed by the professionalism of Steven and Steven. I contacted Hit the Switch via the webpage and I was contacted by Steven promptly and organised a time for him to come around and check out what needed doing. He arrived at the appointed time, gave us great advice about solving our lighting issues and the work was completed in a timely fashion and now we have such a bright, light space in our living room and kitchen. We are completely satisfied with all aspects of our dealings with Hit the Switch, I can recommend them highly.
