We work with local homeowners to replace outdated switchboards, improve electrical safety and keep household power running reliably.

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! 🙌

Stephen and Bucks Electrical have been my primary electrical contractor for numerous residential renovations. Over the years, they have completed a wide range of electrical work for me, including extensive rewiring, installation of new lighting, upgrading distribution and switchboards, new power points and circuits, and general electrical upgrades associated with renovations.
Stephen is consistently professional, reliable and easy to work with, and the quality of his workmanship is excellent. He communicates clearly, turns up when promised and takes the time to understand what is required and recommend practical, well-considered solutions.
I particularly value Stephen’s attention to detail and his ability to work effectively alongside other trades during larger renovation projects. Whether undertaking a major electrical upgrade or a smaller job, the same level of care and professionalism is always evident.
I have found Stephen to be knowledgeable, trustworthy and dependable, and I have complete confidence in the work they undertake. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Bucks Electrical and will continue to use them for future renovation and electrical projects.

Couldn’t recommend Bucks Electrical highly enough! From the very beginning, he was transparent and upfront about the current jobs he had booked in, and despite this, he managed to complete our job well ahead of the timeframe we were expecting.
The pricing was very reasonable, the quality of the work was excellent, and the whole experience was easy and professional from start to finish. It’s great to find someone who genuinely takes pride in their work and delivers on what they promise.
Would highly recommend Bucks Electrical to anyone looking for a reliable electrician who provides quality work at a great price!

The price depends on the number of circuits, the state of your wiring and whether asbestos is present. We’ll give you a free, fixed-price quote after inspecting your board.
Yes, the power needs to be switched off while the old board is removed and the new one connected. We keep the outage as short as possible and plan around your day, including if you work from home.
Often, yes. Older boards usually lack the space or capacity for new circuits. We’ll check your board and upgrade it if needed so your solar, battery or EV charger connects safely.
Boards installed before about 1990 may be mounted on asbestos-containing panels, which often look black and brittle. Don’t touch or drill the panel. Our electricians identify suspect panels during the inspection and arrange safe removal.
RCDs are required on new and altered circuits under the Australian wiring rules, AS/NZS 3000. Even if your home is exempt, fitting safety switches is one of the most effective ways to protect your family from electric shock.
Yes. Every switchboard upgrade is tested and comes with a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW), as required in NSW.
Yes. We upgrade individual unit boards and common-area switchboards for strata buildings across Vaucluse and the Eastern Suburbs.
As well as Vaucluse 2030, we upgrade switchboards in nearby suburbs, including:
We also cover the rest of Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs.
