Voltage Optimisation

So What is Voltage Optimisation?

A well established and proven smart way to reduce electricity bills and your carbon footprint 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Why Can My Voltage Be Optimised?

Supply voltage to our homes, business and factories is often higher than the voltage required to run electrical products efficiently, voltage optimsation corrects this variation, creating an efficient power supply.

Typical domestic applications include:

  • Houses, flats, and bungalows: savings can be made on cooking, washing, lighting, and heating appliances.
  • Domestic solar power installations: these can also be optimised to run more efficiently.

Typical commercial applications include:

  • Hotels, restaurants, and pubs: savings can be made on kitchen appliances, front-of-house equipment and accommodation areas.
  • Office and retail: savings can be made on equipment such as lighting, heating, ventilation, refrigeration and air conditioning.
  • Healthcare and beauty: dentists, GPs, vets, gyms, spas, and hairdressers can make savings on equipment such as tools, lighting pumps, heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning.

Typical industrial and bespoe applications include:

  • Theatres: front-of-house equipment, lighting and heating, air conditioning.
  • Hospitals: savings across the whole range of equipment used, special ‘brown out*’ solutions are also available.
  • Industrial, manufacturing & engineering: savings can be made on lighting machinery, motors, pumps, fans, air compressors, and tools.

*brown out – a reduction in or restriction on the availability of electrical power in a particular area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ultimately the level of energy saving achieved will be dictated by a combination of your incoming supply voltage levels and the types of electrical equipment you use. The higher your supply voltage is, the greater the potential to make energy savings.

Typically, your electricity consumption will be reduced by at least 10%, but savings as high as 19% are possible!

Voltage optimisation refers to the controlled reduction of the voltages received by an energy consumer. By adjusting and controlling voltage levels, , it is possible to reduce electricity bills and your carbon footprint 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

No, voltage optimisation is not the same as power factor correction. Power factor correction compensates for lagging currents, decreasing kVA demands and reducing power losses.

Voltage optimisers are particularly useful for properties with solar PV installations. The optimisers, in this setting, can provide significant reductions in energy consumption and keep wear and tear to a minimum.
