What to Do Before We Arrive

If something doesn’t feel right and it’s affecting your safety, comfort or ability to get on with things at home, give us a call. Our emergency electricians will walk you through what to do while we’re on the way.

Don’t touch exposed wires or any wet electrical equipment. If it’s safe, switch the power off at the main switch, especially if you can smell burning or see smoke. If there’s any risk of fire, get everyone out and call emergency services first.

If you can, try to keep a clear path to the affected area so we can work quickly when we arrive.

I recently used Bucks Electrical to replace several lights and install a new feature light in my kitchen, and I couldn’t be happier with the service.

From the first contact, Steve was professional, responsive, and easy to deal with. Communication was excellent throughout the process, and he arrived exactly when they said they would. It’s refreshing to find a trades business that is so reliable and respectful of my time.

The quality of workmanship was outstanding. The new kitchen feature light was installed with detail and looks fantastic.

Everything was completed neatly, safely, and to a very high standard, with the work area left clean and tidy afterward.

Their pricing was also fair and represented excellent value for the quality of service provided.

If you’re looking for an electrician who is professional, trustworthy, punctual, and takes genuine pride in their work, I highly recommend Bucks Electrical. I’ll definitely be using them again for any future electrical work.

I can’t recommend Steve from Bucks Electrical (Eastern Suburbs) highly enough. He installed and wired two ceiling fans for me and the whole experience was outstanding from start to finish. His communication was quick, clear and easy, he arrived when he said he would, and he was extremely friendly, professional and trustworthy.

His pricing was very reasonable, and it’s genuinely hard to find a sparky who is not only skilled but also honest and reliable — Steve absolutely is. I felt completely comfortable having him in my home and the quality of his work was excellent.

I really, really liked dealing with him and would insanely highly recommend Steve to anyone looking for a great electrician.

Stephen from Bucks Electrical has been absolutely fantastic! He’s done an amazing job on our old to new house renovation, including installing new switchboards, re-wiring, new lighting, fans, and fitting a pool pump and heater — everything has been completed to a top standard.

He’s professional, reliable, and clearly takes pride in his work. Everything was done efficiently, safely, and with great attention to detail. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend Bucks Electrical for any electrical work — big or small. Thanks again, Steve! 🙌

We had Stephen's help to replace our old exhaust fans for our windowless bathroom and laundry. Stephen is excellent with communications, pricing, installation and cleanliness. Most important of all, Stephen is very experienced, efficient and have great knowledge with his work and products. He is also very generous to share his knowledge when it comes to finding the best solution to fix the problem. We are keen to keep coming back to Stephen for any of our future electrical repair or modification work. Bucks Electrical is highly recommended from our experience.

I have no idea how, but Steve was able to route a new circuit through the ceiling cavity from one end of a Sydney terrace to the other without any significant reworks inside (just a small inspection hole). Quality stuff, on time, frank and prompt service, and saved me hundreds in not having to replaster the ceiling. Thanks Steve!

Bucks Electrical came highly recommended and I thank Steve for his services. I needed some new lights installed in the bathroom and living area on short notice and Steve was happy to help out. The whole process from quote to finish was efficient and stress free. I can now recommend Bucks to anyone else who is in need of an honest and friendly electrician.
