When it comes to protecting your home and family, safety switches are a must-have. They’re small devices with a big job—cutting power in milliseconds if there’s an electrical fault. At Bucks Electrical, we make it easy to get your Eastern Suburbs home properly protected. Whether you’re upgrading an older property or fitting out a brand-new build, we’ll make sure you have the right safety systems in place.
After all, a quick shut-off can be the difference between a near-miss and a serious incident.
Think of a safety switch like a seatbelt for your electrical system. If something goes wrong—like a frayed wire, a leaking appliance, or a faulty circuit—the safety switch kicks in instantly to shut off the power.
Without one, your risk of electric shock or fire skyrockets.
In fact, NSW law now requires all new homes and renovations to have working safety switches installed. But if you live in an older home around Coogee, Paddington, or Dover Heights, it’s worth checking if your switchboard is up to scratch.
If you’re not sure, we’ll happily inspect it for you.
When you book Bucks Electrical, you’re not just getting a quick install—you’re getting a full-service experience.
We offer:
And of course, we’ll keep the process clean, tidy, and hassle-free.
Not sure if your home’s safety switches are up to scratch? There are a few signs to look out for. If your safety switch keeps tripping for no clear reason, that’s a big clue something isn’t right. It could be an overloaded circuit or a fault somewhere in your wiring. If you live in an older home—especially one built before safety switches became mandatory—you might not have any installed at all. That’s a major risk. Even if you do have one, if your switchboard is more than 20 years old, it’s worth upgrading to meet today’s standards. Another common trigger is adding new appliances or renovating parts of your home. More gadgets and more wiring mean more load on your electrical system, and old switches might not be built to handle it safely. If anything here sounds familiar, it’s a good idea to get a professional check-up before a small problem turns into a serious one.
Better to get it checked now than to deal with a bigger (and costlier) issue later.
We treat your family’s safety like it’s our own.
Every switch we install is fully compliant with Australian Standards and fitted to handle the load of modern living—because homes today have way more gadgets, chargers, and devices pulling power than ever before. We don’t just install and run; we double-check, explain how your switch works, and show you how to test it regularly.

That local knowledge means we can quickly spot potential hazards, advise on the best solutions, and deliver work that’s done right the first time.
