Voltage Optimisation

Save as much as 25% on electricity bills and minimise pricey maintenance costs by regulating voltage use.

• Save up to 25% on energy bills, with average savings nearer 15%.
• Increase the lifespan of electrical appliances and reduce maintenance costs by as much as 32%
• Typical payback period only 2.5 years.
• Save time, energy and reduce carbon emissions from the point of installation.
• British engineered with 100% guarantee on estimated savings.

Lights and appliances are designed to run at a certain voltage to operate effectively. In the UK this figure is usually 220V and no higher than 230V. However the national grid provides an average supply of 242V, meaning you’re often paying for electricity you’re not even using. While you can control ‘current’ by turning appliances off, you can’t effect the ‘voltage’ you receive. This is where the British engineered voltage optimisation unit comes in, regulating voltage supply, eliminating energy loss, and guaranteeing savings.

What the experts say: “A 230V linear appliance used on a 240V supply takes 4.3% more current and will consume almost 9% more energy,” and “only achieve 55% of its rated life.”

Transients or ’spikes’ in the energy supply can even damage electrical appliances, shortening their lifespan and adding to maintenance costs. Incandescent light bulbs can have their lifespan nearly doubled when the supply voltage is optimised, and with some of the specialist equipment your business uses these savings can make all the difference. London’s largest hotel, with over 1000 rooms, realised a 32% reduction in maintenance costs through this solution alone.

The voltage optimisation system we at Echome usually find most effective and efficient in projects we work on also reduces ‘harmonic disturbance’ by an average of 50%. Caused by a number of factors, especially the type of equipment in your property, electrical harmonics can increase energy loss and significantly reduce the longevity of your appliances (especially motors). In fact, we’ve found that phone, laptop, and shaver chargers which are often made with very cheap components, can see a 50% reduction in energy consumption with the installation of a voltage optimisation unit. If you run a hotel where many people come back during peak times and charge all their electronical appliances, or a business with a lot of motors (fridges, freezers, HVAC units), it is easy to see how significant savings can mount up.

Voltage optimisation regulates the energy being provided to each electrical system so you only receive what you need, bringing down energy expenditure by 10-25% and minimising electrical stress.

 

Voltage optimisation units are now also available for domestic properties. Installation is reasonably simple when performed by a trained technician, quick to set up, and offers a money back guarantee ensuring 10% reduction in energy bills. With energy prices escalating by as much as 18%, there has never been a better time to re-evaluate consumption. Built on 20 years of research and refinement this innovative and compact design can help us all tackle carbon emissions, and trim expenses from the comfort of our own home.
