Voltage Optimisation – DW Fitness

DW Fitness operate fitness centres and hotel facilities throughout the UK with a keen eye on energy spend and a desire to improve efficiency without detracting away from a good quality experience.

We identified a requirement for both voltage management and power factor correction technologies combined to return an energy saving of around 14% and remove reactive power penalties for the electricity bills.

Installation was carried out over a 3 day period during normal working hours and a short 2 hour shutdown for final connection. Savings in excess of 14% per annum have been demonstrated with a payback of less than 2 years without taking into account reduced maintenance costs and the protection of all electrical appliances, plant and machinery.

Ashmere Solutions provided a bespoke service, with detailed site by site analysis of exactly what was required; all sized appropriately to deliver the savings we were looking for. We’re delighted with the smoothness of the delivery; there is always pressure to deliver when the incoming power goes off, knowing you need to be ready to trade next day. The team did a great job and left no stone unturned. It all went according to plan and we’d certainly consider using their services again as we make further investments in the long term cost-effectiveness of the business.
