Power Factor Correction

You are paying for energy
your machines never use.

Poor power factor silently adds thousands to your electricity bill every year, wastes energy, increases your carbon footprint and limits your electrical capacity. We find it, quantify the cost and fix it.

More than just cutting your bill

Power factor correction delivers financial, sustainability and operational benefits simultaneously. Most manufacturers are surprised by how many problems it solves in one installation.

Eliminate reactive power charges

Remove the reactive power penalty charges buried in your electricity bill. A direct and immediate reduction in your monthly electricity cost.

Reduce maximum demand charges

Poor power factor inflates your apparent power demand. Correcting it reduces your maximum demand charge every billing period.

Reduce energy waste and carbon

Reactive current flowing through your cables generates heat and losses that serve no useful purpose. Correction reduces wasted energy and your carbon footprint directly.

Free up electrical system capacity

Correction reduces the reactive burden on your cables, switchgear and transformers, freeing up capacity for additional load without expensive infrastructure upgrades.

Extend equipment life

Motors, transformers and cables run cooler when reactive current is reduced. Lower operating temperatures extend equipment life and reduce maintenance costs.

Support compliance and ESG reporting

Measurable reduction in reactive power demand and energy waste supports ISO 50001, ESOS compliance and your net zero reporting obligations.

Our process

From assessment to correction

No guesswork. Nothing recommended without evidence. We assess your site, present the financial case and manage the works end to end.

1

Free initial bill review

We review your electricity bills and identify reactive power charges, maximum demand figures and other network charges that indicate a power quality issue. This costs you nothing and tells us immediately whether correction is likely to be worthwhile.

2

On site power quality survey

We visit your site and carry out a full power quality survey. We measure true power factor, reactive power and harmonic distortion across your electrical system to understand the full picture before specifying anything.

3

Engineering report and financial case

We produce a clear report showing your current power factor, what it is costing you annually and the payback period on correction. You see the numbers and the recommendation before committing to anything.

4

Specification and managed installation

We specify the correct power factor correction equipment for your site and manage the installation end to end.
