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].

Very happy with the thorough work of Steve, who worked swiftly and explained things very well. He offered his advice over the phone at first, free of charge, to eliminate the possibilities and check to see if the problem could be fixed without having to come out. Highly recommend this very friendly, intelligent and efficient electrician.

I rang Steve to ask some questions about why the power had gone out in my house. Without needing to come out (or charge me for unnecessary services) he walked me through some steps to diagnose the problem. In the end I didn't need to get an electrician to come out at all because the fault was with an appliance. I really appreciated that he was willing to help me out for free because he knew I was concerned that I would end up paying twice over if it wasn't an electrical issue. He made sure to follow up and keep in contact along the way as well. I wouldn't hesitate to call Steve again for any other issues.

We couldnt turn the lights on in our house. Every time we tried to put the circuit breaker on, it blew. We called Steven from Hit The Switch. He answered his phone after hours and tried to help us over the phone. We needed him to come out.
Steven arrived in 45 minutes. He fixed the problem in no time. He was very efficent, clean and reilable. We are glad we found him, because our past experiences with tradesmen was very different. Deffinately a keeper. Would recommend to anyone.

We rang hit the switch to fix some of our office lights that had gone out. He was great, always in communication - would always ring you back straight away. He made sure to thoroughly check the lights and didn't just automatically assume what was wrong. Highly recommended.

We found Hit The Switch on True Local and after reading the other reviews, we decided to get a quote. Steven turned up on time, provided us with a very thorough quote, and talked us through all of our options. When Steven and Steve came to do the job, we were so impressed that they put drop sheets over our new polished floor boards and wore shoe covers. Highly professional and completed the works exactly as promised. I would definitely recommend to my family and friends.

We called Steven and he was here within an hour on a Saturday night. He fixed the problem and explained to us what was wrong. He was very knowledgable and efficient. He wrote out what was done both on the receipt and in an email for us to pass on to our landlord. Perfect service!

I called Steven from Hit The Switch early this morning at 7am because we had a fault with our kitchen power. Our fridge was off and it was our sons birthday and guests were arriving around lunch time. Steven rescheduled his other jobs and was at our door step by 7:30am. He fixed the problem within half an hour. What an awesome tradesmen. Hit The Switch has the best customer service we have seen in a long time. He was punctual, very efficient and extremely professional. He even cleaned up after him self even though he had a busy schedule. Thank you so much Hit The Switch. We will definitely use you very soon.
