Night Shift Transformation: The Coffee Gallery House
Nestled on Peascod Street in Windsor, just outside Windsor Castle, the Coffee Gallery House is a haven for coffee lovers and tourists alike.
However, it was clear the cherished gallery was in dire need of a significant electrical upgrade. Thanks to the team at Surrey Solar Solutions, we catered to our client’s needs and undertook the project during a night shift, thus ensuring minimal disruption to this unique coffee shop.
ABOUT THIS PROJECT
The Need for a Consumer Unit Change
Previously, the Coffee Gallery House struggled with an outdated consumer unit. This old system was inadequate for handling the increasing electrical load from kitchen appliances and future customer demand, posing safety risks and causing frequent outages.
Understanding the critical need for a reliable and safe electrical setup, the coffee shop owners turned to Surrey Solar Solutions for the solution.
Why Choose a Night Shift?
At Surrey Solar Solutions, we prioritise our clients’ convenience. Conducting the consumer unit change during a night shift allowed the Coffee Gallery House to operate as usual during the day. This strategic scheduling minimised downtime and ensured the upgrade did not interfere with the shop’s business hours.
Initial Preparation:
After conducting a detailed assessment of the existing electrical setup, we identified many potential hazards requiring immediate attention.
Developing a comprehensive plan, we determined that a double-stacked consumer unit with appropriate protection, such as double pole RCBOs and surge protection, would provide our clients and their customers with peace of mind regarding electrical safety and eliminate any threat of disruption.
This was further reinforced by coordinating with the shop owners to schedule the work during off-peak hours.
Night Shift Begins
Safe isolation of the redundant consumer units was undertaken, with each circuit labelled and their respective RCBO protective devices matched accordingly.
With the first phase completed, the new double-stacked consumer unit, along with its proposed safety devices, was promptly tested for compliance with all safety standards.
Upon completion of the quoted works, our clients were provided with a comprehensive overview of the new system. This not only addressed our clients’ needs but also helped educate and familiarise them with the changes undertaken. Ongoing support and maintenance services were offered to ensure long-term safety and efficiency.
A Safer and More Reliable Coffee Shop
The Coffee Gallery House now boasts a compliant consumer unit that not only meets but exceeds current safety standards. This upgrade ensures a reliable power supply, allowing the shop to continue serving without being hindered by electrical power cuts. The owners and their clients can now enjoy peace of mind, knowing the electrical system is safe and efficient.
The successful completion at the Coffee Gallery House is a testament to the expertise and dedication of our team at Surrey Solar Solutions.
By working during the night shift, we ensured the coffee shop’s operations were undisturbed, thus saving time and highlighting our commitment to customer satisfaction.
