🌱 Building a Greener Future for Llanymynech Village Hall 🌱
We’re proud to have been chosen to help Llanymynech take big steps toward sustainability.

Our team at D R Electrical Contractors has delivered a full package of energy-saving upgrades designed to cut running costs and reduce carbon footprint:

🔆 12kW of Solar PV – Harnessing the power of the sun to generate clean, renewable electricity directly on-site, helping the hall become more self-sufficient.

💡 Suspended Ceiling & DALI LED Panels – Brand-new LED lighting with smart DALI controls that automatically adjust brightness based on natural light levels. Combined with presence & absence detection, this ensures lighting is only on when needed – saving energy and creating the perfect atmosphere.

🔥 Upgraded Heating – Replacing old electric heaters with efficient stone-cored electric radiators. These retain heat longer, provide more consistent warmth, and give the hall greater control over comfort while keeping costs down.

🚶 Smart Sensors Throughout – We’ve also added presence detection in kitchens and toilets to eliminate wasted energy from lights being left on.

Together, these improvements make Llanymynech Village Hall more sustainable, cost-efficient, and future-ready – a true example of how smart electrical solutions can power community spaces 🌍⚡

Sometimes, less really is more.
