Businesses across the UK are suffering from high energy costs, but there is something that can be done to help them use less energy. By optimising the voltage supply to your electrical equipment you can reduce your energy consumption by up to 19%, therefore saving you money, energy, and carbon.
Voltage optimisation (VO) is a transformer-based technology which optimises the incoming supply from the national grid to match the voltage required by equipment at your organisation. UK appliances need 220 volts to operate at an optimum level, the average supplied by the National Grid is 242 volts and we have seen as high as 261 volts!
Installing a Voltage Optimiser will give guaranteed savings as well as increase the longevity of your appliances.
We will provide an estimated saving based on the average voltage supplied by the National Grid and present the expected ROI. A plug-in voltage tester will be sent to the site, which is simply plugged into any power socket. A photo is taken of the Voltage reading and sent back to us along with pictures of the fuse board, the electricity meter and the area around both of these, which is the most likely location for the VO installation.
Optimiser sizes can range from a small wall-mounted box to the size of a washing machine. The return on investment will then be confirmed and a final proposal locked in. Voltage Optimisers can be purchased outright, or leased on a finance model enabling the savings to start from the first month.
A payment of 50% is required. The kit is then ordered and a delivery and installation date are set. The final balance is due a week before delivery. The kit is then installed, commissioned and signed off by client and the savings begin!
By installing a voltage optimiser, you can reduce the voltage supply to your equipment, securing substantial energy savings and extending the lifespan of your electrical assets. Immediate savings on electricity costs will be realised and the typical breakeven point is between 15 - 18 months.
