Have you recently received a ridiculously costly energy bill?

You’re not alone! If you’ve suddenly noticed a major uptick in your energy bill, don’t stress!  It could be attributed to the typical reasons: overuse of electronics, heating or maybe even a hot water leak. But if you have run through all of the possibilities and still can’t figure it out you’ll need to look into it more carefully. Due to the season, you’ll want to review your energy bill from last year at this time. This will ensure that it’s not just a regular seasonal increase due to heating. If your energy bill is drastically different than last years’ then it’s time to bring in a professional.
Power Factor Correction could be the solution you’ve been looking for!
When you hire a professional to review your Power Factor, you’re able to understand how efficiently incoming power is being used. This has a direct effect on your energy bill!  Power Factor is shown as a measure between zero and one. If your Power Factor is less than 0.95 then you’re absolutely paying more for your energy bill! Ready for the good news? There is a solution!

So what exactly is Power Factor?
Your Power Factor Rating evaluates the relationship between multiple components of power within your electrical system. If your electrical system has a poor rating then it’s not processing power efficiently and it is drawing more power than necessary. This results in the increase of your energy bill. For optimal energy efficiency your power factor rating should be 1.0.
