Ceramic rewirable fuses were phased out because they posed severe safety risks, reacted too slowly to electrical faults, and could not handle the power demands of modern homes. A modern switchboard upgrade is essential for older homes in Sydney still using porcelain or ceramic fuses. We replace outdated fuse boxes with a modern switchboard using circuit breakers and current safety protections.
A Residual Current Device (RCD) is a life-saving safety switch that automatically cuts off the electricity supply when it detects a current imbalance, protecting people from electric shocks and preventing electrical fires. This upgrade is recommended for homes or businesses that don’t have RCD protection on all required circuits. We can add or upgrade safety switches to help protect people from electric shock.
If you’re adding new electrical loads to your Eastern Suburbs site, you may need a switchboard capacity upgrade. This is commonly needed for renovations where you’re adding extra circuits, installing solar or EV chargers and for running new air conditioning units.
Larger homes, commercial spaces or workshops tend to have a higher power demand, where a three-phase switchboard is required. Some appliances also require three-phase to work properly, including large air conditioners, EV chargers or other high-load appliances.
A good option for homes and businesses wanting extra protection for appliances and electronics during power surges. Protection can be installed across the whole property or on selected circuits.

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! 🙌

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.
