About Switch On - in Bishop Auckland, County Durham
Quality appliances from your local electrical retailer

Switch On, a family run business, was opened in September 1982 by Tony Paling. Tony, an experienced electrical retail manaager, worked in televison and electrical goods trade for many years all over the Northern Region before deciding to open Switch On in his local town, Bishop Auckland.

EuronicsAs an independent company, Switch On has gone from strength to strength expanding staff and premises to include an in-house service department which is somewhat of a rarity these days. Switch On is part of Euronics, one of Europe's largest purchasing groups.

New Larger Store now open.

Following on from its success in the last few years Switch On is expanding yet again. The dispaly size will double so we can display a larger range of domestic appliances form manufacturers including Hotpoint, Cannon, Indesit, Bosch, Belling, Lec and Zunussi.

There will also be a newly designed plasma and LCD display area showing off the latest in stylish cabinets. A new HiFi/digital radio section will be available along with the lastest MP3 players.
