Why is it necessary?

Who can afford to pay for up to 20% more energy than they need?

Why is it necessary? Because of the colossal hidden cost to UK business arising from the discrepancy between the voltage needed to run electrical equipment at peak efficiency and the actual voltage that arrives on site.

In headline terms, if your power is not optimised, you are paying for up to 20% more electricity than you need and at the same time, emit up to 20% more CO₂. According to the Carbon Trust, Voltage Power Optimisation is worth the equivalent of an extra 5% in sales to your business.

Reduce your carbon output in line with legislation

The government’s recently introduced Climate Change Bill joins other legislation designed to move the UK towards a low-carbon economy; its ambitious goal to give the UK a net carbon account for the year 2050 at least 80% lower than 1990. powerPerfector gives you the chance to reduce your carbon output by up to 20%, literally overnight.

Improving power quality protects machinery and data

Most electrical equipment in Europe is designed and manufactured to run at 220V. 90% of premises have an average of 242V. Quite apart from the waste of energy this represents, without Voltage Power Optimisation your electrical infrastructure isn’t protected from a range of hazards. These can produce results as gradual as the slow degradation of your IT equipment, to the potentially catastrophic loss of data or expensive machinery in a power spike – an increasingly common occurrence.

Higher productivity, less maintenance, longer life

Many people blame reliability problems and short life cycles on inherent faults in the product – and live with it. But electrical equipment running on a power supply that hasn’t been optimised breaks down more often, requires more maintenance and has to be replaced sooner. The capital cost to business of replacing equipment early, coupled with the loss in productivity when it has to be maintained or repaired, is incalculable.
