Do voltage optimisers actually work?

Yes, voltage optimisers have saved some of our customers a lot of money on their annual electricity bills. Please see some of our case studies to see what we can do for a business like yours.

How does voltage optimisation work?

A voltage optimiser works by lowering the incoming voltage that is supplied to your equipment from 242 volts to 220 volts. The extra electricity is then sent back to the grid. This reduces your electricity bills and boosts the lifespan of your electrical equipment.

How long untill I see a return on investment for voltage optimisation?

You will be able to see a return on investment with voltage optimisation in as quick as 8 – 16 months.

Is the voltage optimisation installation disruptive?
