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].

Over the past two years we have employed the Services of "the two Steves" from Hit The Switch, most recently February/March 2016. As in the past, their professional work, guidance and helpfulness are outstanding. Their strong sense of accountability about their work is transparent and informative. Highly recommend Hit The Switch.

I have used Hit the Switch a few times now and am even happier than when I posted my first review. Steve and Steve really care about me as a customer and take great pride in their work. They only invoice me when the job is fully complete to my and their satisfaction. On the last job I had some issues with another trade and Steve was extremely helpful in coordinating the work that needed to be done so that he could compete his work. Both gentlemen have been friendly, timely and efficient. They always ring to let me know they are coming and when running late, due to traffic or a job over-run, they have phoned me regularly to keep me up to date. I would give them ten stars if I could! Thanks guys - I'm always smiling when you leave!!
