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 was a pleasure to deal with. On time, proactive, professional, went the extra mile and communicated clearly throughout the job. One of the best tradesmen I've dealt with.

Steve so professional. Arrived on time, took his shoes off, worked promptly, kept me informed and cleaned up. Call him!

The Steves (as I call them) were the delight of our renovation this year. I feel terrible as I had intended to write something immediately after our 3 days spent together with them overhauling our new (old) house's electricals, but reno-time can run away with you. They are a very efficient team, accurate, timely, perfectionist (music to my ears to hear one say to the other, 'no move it up a bit, it's not perfect') and collaborative us all standing in the living area deciding the new light positions with a laser. After we moved in we had them over for a second time, to do other bits'n'pieces, and again, same efficiency, accuracy and oh, cleanliness! After drilling and installing new switches they vac'ed, wiped and set everything back to how it was before. So now when we think we might need some help with our air conditioner and outdoor lights we are already planning to get the Steves again. They are not bargain basement cheap but for professionalism, accuracy and peace of mind we think they are worth it. Sal n Greg

Called Steve at Hit the Switch, he arrived within the hr and fixed a problem that a few other companies before him were unable to do. He was polite, took his shoes off at the door. Great tradesman and I highly recommend.

Steve and Steve actually respond to emails and turn up! (unlike other electricians I tried to get a quote from) Quote was higher than I was expecting but they had great communication throughout and the outdoor data cabling job was really clean and I could tell Steve no. 2 took pride in his work. Would not hesitate to go with them again.

Steve called me back immediately after I rang and arrived promptly around the time agreed. He quickly fixed the problem and gave me a friendly and easy to understand explanation of what had caused it. I will call him again if we find that our old house needs more substantial electrical work.
