Respecting the Past, Upgrading for the Future

Churches and historic buildings bring a unique set of electrical challenges – limited access, outdated wiring, listed building constraints, and a need for upgrades that don’t compromise the charm or character of the space. At Smart Power, we’ve built a strong reputation for handling these projects with care, respect, and technical know-how.

Why Churches Trust Smart Power

We’ve worked with a range of churches across East Yorkshire and beyond – from upgrading floodlighting on landmark clock towers to sensitively replacing decades-old fittings with modern, energy-efficient alternatives.

Church committees and caretakers value our approach because we take the time to understand both the history and the functionality of the space. That means:

• On-site consultations to understand access, condition, and limitations.
• Sympathetic upgrades using modern materials that maintain traditional aesthetics.
• Refurbishment options to retain original fixtures where possible.
• Discreet installation to minimise disruption to the building and the congregation.

Work Beyond the Sanctuary

It’s not just about the main church space. We’ve also completed full upgrades in attached church halls and community buildings – the parts of the property that see regular weekly use for coffee mornings, kids’ groups, warm hubs and social events.

Many of these halls still rely on old fluorescent tube lighting, which can be dull, noisy, and energy-hungry. We’ve helped modernise these spaces with bright, energy-efficient LED lighting, improving visibility, lowering running costs, and creating more inviting environments for community use.

Recent Work Includes:

• St Mary’s Church, Cottingham – upgrade of main floodlight illuminating the village clock face.
• Local village churches across East Yorkshire – lighting and power upgrades inside and out.
• Community hall refurbishments – replacement of fluorescent lighting with LED systems, upgraded emergency lighting, and new sockets for modern use.
