Put simply, the KVAR Energy Controller  is a small box that installs on your electrical panel that reduces electricity consumption, can add life to appliances via reduced motor usage and acts as a surge protector. It is available for commercial, industrial and residential applications.

Put even simpler, the KVAR Energy Controller increases your power factor by storing the reactive power needed to generate an electromagnetic field required to move an associated motor. Without the device, the energy used to create the magnetic field is never consumed, but rather, it is dissipated in the form of wasted heat. Wasted heat that you pay for, over, and over, and over and over…you get the point.

Energy savings between 10%-20% in residential and 6%-17% in commercial applications are common, although every building is different. You can contact us to see if it may be a good fit.

In a commercial setting, the device is not installed unless a 3-year payback period can be realized. Paybacks are currently ranging between 6 months to 3 years which is a strong business case, especially if installed in combination with a PV system. The device gets more complicated the larger the load so it is important to have an qualified expert look at your situation.

Free KVAR Energy Controller assessments are available to see if the product may be a good fit for you which will provide an estimate of energy savings that could be realized.
