Power Factor Correction for Darwin Businesses
Use the Power You Pay For More Efficiently
Motors, compressors, air conditioning and refrigeration draw more current than they put to useful work. The gap is called power factor, and a low power factor can raise demand charges on some commercial tariffs and load up your cabling and switchboard. Florance Energy Solutions installs power factor correction to bring it back in line.
Send us a recent commercial power bill and we will tell you whether it is likely to help.
Is It Worth It for Your Site?
Power factor correction mainly suits commercial and industrial sites with a lot of motor-driven equipment, such as cool rooms, workshops, pumps and large air conditioning plants, particularly where your bill includes demand or kVA charges. Homes and most small shops will not see a benefit, and we will tell you honestly if that is you. Savings depend on your tariff and equipment, so we base advice on your actual bills and measurements.
The first step is usually an energy efficiency audit.
