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?

I called Steven from Hit The Switch to provide us with a quote to upgrade our very old switchboard and replace all our existing down lights through out the house with LED ones. He arrived on time, presented very well. He even wore shoe covers prior to coming in the house. He assessed the job and even climbed in the roof and showed us photos of our electrical wiring and the insulation and leaves around the down lights.
Steven and his team completed all the electrical works that we needed. They even removed our leaves. The LED lights they provided and the switchboard up grade looks and feels great. They even vacuumed, and steamed mopped the house.
My wife and i didnt feel the need to get another quote from anyone else. We new when Steven first walked in for the quote that he was the right electrician for us.
The whole experience was absolutely sensational. We will continue to use Hit The Switch for all our electrical jobs and we recommend them to anyone.

I'm very impressed by the level of professionalism and passion Steve and his team brings to my renovation project. I had him install smoke alarms and a new switchboard to an old house. The job was completed quickly and to a high standard. He was very knowledgeable and responsive to my requests. Definitely would recommend Hit the Switch!

I cannot recommend Steve highly enough. I was originally referred by a colleague to have my house rewired and have since used him on my investment property several times. I have also referred him to other friends, family and work colleagues without hesitation, who have all been extremely happy with him and his work. He is honest, professional, reliable, friendly, punctual, communicative and unbelievably hard-working. I had no reservations leaving him in my home alone (with my noisy dog) while I went to work in order to pay his reasonably priced invoice. He goes above and beyond for everybody! If there were more tradesmen/people like him, the world would be a better place.

What a lovely guy! It's so nice to have someone so honest and respectful come into your home with a smile on their face. Steven was here to help, not to make a quick buck. He took the time to explain everything very clearly to me and helped me make the right decision for us. I will absolutely use 'Hit the Switch' again and recommend Steven to anyone looking for an electrician they can trust.

This is about the fourth time I have used Steve and his team at Hit the Switch. This time was a complete re-wire of out 1950s house. As always Steve carried out the work with the professionalism and committment that I have come to expect. A great job with friendly and informed advice. Steve clearly cares about his reputation and it shows.

Exceeded my expectation 300%. Faulty switch caused us without power from the night before. Called Hit The Switch next morning, Steven was here as quickly as he could to diagnose the issue even though he had another job booked. Fixed the issue temporarily before returning in the evening to complete the job and gave a thorough investigation and found the problem to be originating from the street supply. He even called my power company and they came within 2 hours to fix the fused switch box on the street. Very happy with the reasonable fees and his professionalism in explaining the way our wiring works (old house). Highly recommendable and will definitely use Hit The Switch again!

Couldn't recommend Steve and his team more. We had our Brick Veneer home rewired and Steve did a superb job. He was always attentive to detail, looking for ways to improve our layout and would check with us on all items, no matter how small. Always onsite when he said he would be there and when the job was completed they left the house clean which was a great surprise. We will only use Steve and the Hit The Switch team for all future electrical services.

The Steven knows his stuff, keeps informed on what he is doing. Heater's thermostat had gone faulty, he quickly diagnosed it, went and bought a replacement and changed it. He is a hard working and friendly guy. Highly recommended.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Steven and his crew. He and his guys are very professional, courteous and reliable. He gave us a resonable quote, turned up when he said he would and carried out the work to a very high standard. He even came back and made an adjustment when asked. We were very impressed and we will be using their services again.

Steve was prompt, polite and efficient. He diagnosed the problem in a flash and explained it to me in terms my non-electrical mind could understand. Then he fixed it, which was great. Thanks to him, my TV was back online and I didn't miss a second of the football.
