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].

Finding Hit The Switch on True Local was a great decision. Steven came out to provide a switchboard upgrade and rewire quote. Hit The Switch service was absolutely incredible, from the minute Steven came to quote to the very end of the job. Steven and his team were great. We didnt bother getting other quotes. The workmanship was absolutely fantastic. He even called a day later to find out what we thought of the job and the service.

We chose Hit The Switch for its Name and the reviews. All i have to say is that the reviews are right :) Steven and his team were punctual, well mannered and well presented. They even had shoe covers on while they worked with drop sheets. They gave us a price up front after assessing the electrical works needed. Steven explained what they were going to do and also showed me how the switchboard operated. We didn't feel the need to get any other quotes because we new and felt that the service and there professionalism was great. Great work!!!!

We couldn't be happier with the service. They were on time, very efficient, thorough with the work and tidied up afterwards. They provide us with a fix price up front after assessing the job for an hour. We got our switchboard upgraded and installed a new oven. Awesome service. They called the next day to find out if we were happy with the service. Great workmanship! Great service.

Hit The Switch is extremley reliable. We were un organised with our small jobs around the house and we had already booked in the plasterer before the electrical works. We called Hit The Switch form true local. Steven arranged his schedual and his team around us and completed our electrical works. We didn't have to do the plastering a second time. The professionalism and dedication from his team was fantastic. they even cleaned up. The job looks great and went to plan. We will be using Hit The Switch again. Thanks guys.

Very happy with the service provided by Hit The Switch. Steven was prompt in his quote and completed the job efficiently on the same day. He provided us with a quick safety check, tested our smoke alarms and changed the batteries at no extra cost. Highly recommend.

Steven and his team are by far the best electricians that we have come across. They were punctual, well-mannered and were able to complete the job quickly and efficiently. Their fees are very reasonable and the quality of the work is outstanding. Steven is truly a man of his word. I would have no hesitation in recommending him and his friendly and reliable team.
