The Mission: Service and repair the CHP unit at a Pwllheli Holiday Park to restore reliability and optimise energy usage.
Running a holiday park is no small task, and keeping the lights on is non-negotiable. At one of Bourne Leisure’s flagship holiday parks in Pwllheli, the CHP system is key to powering the park, ensuring everything from heating to guest facilities runs smoothly. When damaged lagging, corroded components, and wiring issues began causing problems, Bourne Leisure called on us to step in and sort it out. At Canning, we know the value of keeping things running, especially in the hospitality sector, where downtime is never an option.

The Solution
Bourne Leisure called on Canning to fix its CHP system as it was having trouble, putting the park’s operations at risk. Damaged lagging and corroded starter motor relay components needed urgent attention, while signal loss from faulty wiring was causing trips. The system also required a crucial coolant change, and the timing gear cover seal needed replacing to prevent further issues. Bourne Leisure needed a reliable team to take on the challenge and make sure their system was back to running at full capacity.
Initial Inspection
We kicked off the project with a thorough service of the CHP unit. Our team replaced the damaged lagging, along with the corroded starter motor relay and crimp, to restore the system’s basic functionality. Addressing these immediate issues was the first step towards stabilising the unit and preventing further damage.

"Thanks to Canning’s expertise and hands-on approach, the CHP system at this Bourne Leisure Holiday Park is now back to peak performance.”
System Optimisation
Next, we tackled signal loss issues that were causing system trips. By swapping out the speed pickup wiring, we eliminated the problem, ensuring smoother operations. To further improve system performance, we carried out a full coolant change and replaced the timing gear cover seal, safeguarding the unit from future leaks.
Maintenance & Final Checks
To extend the system’s longevity, our team undertook cleaning procedures and replaced the pressure vessel, reinforcing the CHP’s structural integrity. Once all the work was done, we ran a series of thorough tests to confirm everything was in tip-top shape before signing off.
Conclusion
Thanks to Canning’s expertise and hands-on approach, the CHP system at this Bourne Leisure Holiday Park is now back to peak performance. By replacing damaged components, fixing wiring issues, and carrying out critical maintenance, we’ve ensured the system is ready to deliver reliable energy for the long haul.
This wasn’t just about quick fixes, it was about future-proofing the system to support the park’s busy operations. Bourne Leisure can now focus on what they do best, knowing their energy infrastructure is in safe hands. That’s the Canning way – restoring power, building resilience – fast.
