Consumer Unit Upgrades & Fuse Box Installations
Is your fuse box keeping up with your modern lifestyle? At Craven Electrical & Security Ltd, we specialize in upgrading outdated fuse boards to the latest 18th Edition consumer units.
The “fuse box” is the heart of your home’s electrical system. If yours is more than 20 years old, it likely lacks the critical safety components required to protect your family from electric shocks, fires, and power surges. We provide professional, NICEIC-approved upgrades across Leyland and the surrounding 50-mile area.

Is It Time for an Upgrade?
If you notice any of the following, your electrical system may be non-compliant or even dangerous:
Rewirable Fuses: You still have to replace “fuse wire” when a circuit trips.
Plastic Enclosure: Your fuse box is made of plastic (modern units must be fire-rated metal).
No “Test” Button: You don’t have RCD protection (the life-saving switch that trips in milliseconds).
Frequent Tripping: Your system struggles to handle modern appliances like EV chargers, air fryers, or power showers.
Visible Damage: You can see scorch marks, flickering lights, or hear “crackling” sounds.

Why Upgrade with Craven Electrical?
As an NICEIC-Approved Contractor with over 25 years of experience, we don’t just swap a box; we perform a full safety validation of your home’s circuits.
1. Life-Saving RCD & RCBO Protection
Modern units use Residual Current Devices (RCDs) or RCBOs. These monitor the flow of electricity and instantly cut the power if a fault is detected, preventing fatal electric shocks
2. Surge Protection (SPD)
With the rise of expensive home electronics—from Smart TVs to MacBooks—we install Surge Protection Devices as standard. These shield your sensitive equipment from “transient overvoltages” caused by lightning or grid switching.
3. 18th Edition Compliance
Electrical regulations (BS 7671) are updated constantly. Our installations meet the very latest standards (including Amendment 3 & 4), ensuring your property is legally compliant for insurance purposes and future home sales.
