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].

Steven and his colleague Steve completed the electrical work in my house including the bathroom, kitchen, all light fixtures as well as installing a new switch board and bathroom fan. They were professional, punctual, worked diligently and completed everything to a high level. They went that extra mile and I couldn't be happier.

Steve was as professional and timely as he advertises. He did a good job of the electricals, cleaned up the work area afterwards, and dealt beautifully with a earful of questions from my kids. Highly recommended.

Great service - very happy with the result. The whole process was so quick and easy. I called the main number and spoke to Steven and he promptly came round the next day (being a Saturday) to do a quote for replacing several lighting fixtures, transformers and globes. He was punctual, responsive to my queries and took initiative to replace a broken switch panel. I received a quote shortly after. He was accommodating with arranging an appointment time that suited my work schedule. I was advised that a different person named Steven would be completing the job. He did a fantastic job and was polite, punctual, friendly, professional and extremely helpful. He took care with completing the works and putting a dropsheet down to eliminate any dust going on the floor. I would highly recommend Hit the Switch and would use them again for any future jobs.
