What to know about manual to electric conversion in Poole
The shutter needs a power supply nearby; a fused spur is ideal and a new circuit is quoted separately if needed. A tube motor is fitted into the barrel, replacing the spring on most push-up shutters.
Conversion removes the daily strain of lifting a heavy curtain, which is often the main reason people ask for it. Converting is often a good step before an older shutter's spring fails.
What's included
- Key switch, remote or timer control
- Condition check of curtain, barrel and box
- Options for heavy steel curtains
- Single-visit fitting in most cases
- Tube motor sized to the curtain
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician
