Your switchboard is the heart of your home’s electrical system. It controls where power flows, protects your circuits, and keeps your family safe. But if your switchboard is outdated or overloaded, it could be a ticking time bomb.
At Bucks Electrical, we specialise in switchboard upgrades across Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, making sure your home is wired for today—and ready for tomorrow.
Modern living demands a lot more from your electrical system than it did even 20 years ago.
New appliances, smart home tech, air conditioning, electric car chargers—you name it. An old switchboard simply wasn’t built to handle this kind of load.
Upgrading your switchboard isn’t just about convenience; it’s about safety.
Old ceramic fuses and aging wiring can dramatically increase the risk of electrical fires or shocks. A new switchboard brings peace of mind with modern safety switches, circuit breakers, and the capacity to handle today’s busy households.
At Bucks Electrical, we offer a full range of switchboard services, including:
We’ll make sure your switchboard is neat, organised, and clearly labelled—no guesswork needed if you ever have to flick a switch.
You don’t have to be an electrician to spot the warning signs that your switchboard might need some attention.If you’ve still got old ceramic fuses, if your lights flicker when you use appliances, or if your power trips regularly, it’s time to look into an upgrade.Other subtle signs can include a slight burning smell near the board or appliances that just don’t seem to run properly.
Even if everything seems fine, any home renovation, extension, or the addition of large appliances—like air conditioning units or pool equipment—is a perfect time to check if your switchboard can handle the extra load.
Not sure? Give us a call. A quick inspection could save you a lot of stress (and cost) later on.
Working throughout the Eastern Suburbs means we’ve seen it all—from stunning heritage terraces in Paddington to brand new builds in Maroubra. We know how different homes were wired back in the day, and we know how to upgrade safely without damaging your property's character or structure.
We also understand the extra care needed with older switchboards that might have hidden asbestos or delicate wiring.
Your family’s safety is our number one priority. Every Bucks Electrical switchboard upgrade includes fitting modern RCD safety switches (Residual Current Devices) that shut off power instantly if they detect a problem. We also make sure your circuits are correctly sized and balanced to prevent future headaches.
Best of all? We’ll explain what we’ve done in simple, everyday language before we leave.
When you book a switchboard upgrade with Bucks Electrical, we aim to keep the process as straightforward and stress-free as possible. In most cases, we’ll complete your upgrade in just one day. We organise everything, from safety checks to final testing, and work to minimise disruption to your home.
If your wiring needs any attention while we’re there, we’ll explain your options clearly and honestly—no confusing jargon, and no unexpected costs. We’re also upfront: sometimes older properties can have hidden issues like deteriorated cabling or even asbestos near the old switchboard. If that’s the case, we’ll walk you through what needs to be done to keep everything compliant and safe.
At the end of the day, our goal is simple—leave you with a safer, stronger, future-proofed electrical system you can trust.
An outdated switchboard isn’t something you want to leave to chance. If you’re unsure about the state of yours—or know it’s time for an upgrade—Bucks Electrical is here to make the process easy, transparent, and affordable.
