Diesel to Electric Propulsion Conversion in Torpoint, Cornwall
Upgrade Your Vessel with Eco-Friendly Electric Propulsion
At GD Electrical & Mechanical Services, we are a professional team of marine electrical specialists based in Torpoint, offering our diesel-to-electronic propulsion conversion services to customers throughout the local and extended areas of Cornwall. With years of experience, we have the skills to navigate the complexities of marine systems and are committed to converting diesel to electronic propulsion systems meticulously.
Our innovative diesel-to-electric propulsion conversion services are perfect for customers who are looking to embrace cleaner, more efficient energy solutions.
At GD Electrical & Mechanical Services, we give boat and yacht owners the option to convert from diesel to electronic propulsion to reduce their fuel consumption, lower their maintenance costs and minimise their environmental impact, all while maintaining power and reliability whilst on the water.
Why Convert from Diesel to Electric Propulsion?
Electric propulsion is quickly becoming the preferred choice for marine vessels due to its many qualities, including:
- Fuel efficiency
- Low maintenance
- Reduced emissions
- Quieter operation
- Improved performance
Diesel engines are known for their frequent maintenance requirements due to their mechanical complexity. In comparison, electrical motors have fewer moving parts, which results in less wear and tear, reduced maintenance needs and longer service intervals.
In addition, modern electric propulsion systems offer smooth, responsive performance with instant torque delivery, improving manoeuvrability and control, especially in tight or crowded waterways.
At GD Electrical & Mechanical Services, we provide a seamless and customised conversion process tailored to the specific needs of each vessel. From initial consultations to post-installation support, we ensure every step is executed with precision and professionalism to achieve the best possible results.
We begin each service with a detailed consultation to understand the vessel's specifications and operational requirements, as well as our customers' goals for their conversion. Additionally, we assess the current diesel propulsion system and identify the best electric alternative.
To ensure all electric systems integrate perfectly, we create customised conversion plans to design each new electric propulsion system. This includes selecting the correct components, such as electric motors, batteries and control systems.
As skilled marine electricians and engineers, we handle the full installation process when converting to new electric propulsion systems, including the removal of the existing diesel engines, installing the new electric motors and integrating batteries, inverters, charging systems and other necessary components.
At the end of each conversion service, we rigorously test the new propulsion systems to ensure they meet performance standards and operate safely. Prior to leaving the vessel, we provide full training on how to use and maintain the system, leaving our customers feeling confident when out on the water.
At GD Electrical & Maintenance Services, we follow strict safety regulations whilst conducting our conversion services and ensure all electric propulsion systems comply with the industry guidelines once our work is complete. This ensures all systems perform at the highest standard of safety and gives our customers peace of mind.
