Voltage Optimisation for Schools
Voltage Optimisation for Schools – Smarter Energy Savings with Powerdown220
Running a school comes with its fair share of challenges—tight budgets, rising energy bills, and growing pressure to reduce your carbon footprint. At Powerdown220, we offer a simple, proven solution to help you take control of your electricity use: voltage optimisation. Our systems are already helping schools across the UK save money, improve efficiency, and extend the life of their electrical equipment.
If your school is looking for ways to cut costs without cutting corners, voltage optimisation is the quiet hero working behind the scenes to deliver real savings.
Why Schools Need Voltage Optimisation
Schools typically run a wide range of electrical equipment: lighting, heating, computers, kitchen appliances, and more—all day, every day. The problem? Most of this equipment is designed to operate at around 220 volts, but in the UK, the average grid supply is around 242 volts. That’s more than you need—and more than you should be paying for.
Voltage optimisation brings the incoming supply down to the level your equipment is built for, without affecting performance. The result is less wasted energy, fewer breakdowns, and lower bills.
As a company we are united by set of values that drives forward the work that we do:
HONESTY
COMMITMENT
TEAMWORK
CONTINUED LEARNING
HARD WORK
Real Savings, Real Impact
On average, schools that install voltage optimisation technology see:
Energy savings of 7–12%
Reduced strain on equipment, leading to longer lifespans and fewer maintenance callouts
Lower carbon emissions, helping meet sustainability and ESG goals
Improved power quality, protecting sensitive electronic devices and IT infrastructure
All of this adds up to smarter, more efficient energy use—and more of your budget available for what matters: your students.
Seamless Voltage Optimisation Installation, Zero Disruption
We understand that school operations can’t be interrupted. That’s why we offer flexible installation options during weekends, holidays, or off-peak hours. Our engineers work quickly and quietly, ensuring no disruption to your teaching or operations.
Most schools benefit from a simple “fit and forget” system, with no ongoing maintenance required. Once installed, voltage optimisation continues to deliver savings automatically in the background.
Tailored Solutions for Your School
No two school sites are the same, which is why we start with a full assessment of your current energy usage. From there, our team of experts will recommend a solution that matches your needs—whether you’re a single-site primary school or a multi-building secondary academy.
Our voltage optimisation units are compact, robust, and designed to integrate smoothly with your existing electrical setup.
