Save Energy

Industrial & Commercial

Why pay more for electricity? Let us assist you in achieving maximum energy savings.

Hidden Inefficiencies

Many commercial and industrial facilities — including shopping malls, blocks of flats, factories, cold storage warehouses, and large-scale workshops — suffer from significant electrical inefficiencies. These inefficiencies are often invisible in day-to-day operations but manifest in higher electricity bills, power factor penalties, and unnecessary energy losses.

Heavy-duty machinery, HVAC systems, lighting arrays, and refrigeration equipment all contribute to poor power factor and reactive power build-up, which not only increases your demand charges but also puts excessive strain on your electrical infrastructure.

Manufacturing Plants / Factories

Heavy use of motors, conveyors, and machinery leads to poor power factor.

Cold Storage & Refrigeration Warehouses

Large refrigeration units, compressors, and chillers consume a lot of reactive power.

Shopping Malls & Large Retail Complexes

HVAC systems, escalators, and lighting systems create significant inductive loads.

Data Centers

High-tech cooling systems and power supplies for servers often create low power factor scenarios.

Hospitals & Medical Facilities

Extensive use of HVAC, medical imaging equipment, and elevators affects power factor.

Commercial Office Buildings (especially high-rise)

Elevators, centralized HVAC, and large lighting loads contribute to power factor issues.

What is Power Factor — and Why Should You Care?

Power factor is a measure of how effectively your business uses electricity. A poor power factor means more energy is drawn from the grid than is actually needed, resulting in:

  • Increased electricity bills
  • Demand penalties from utilities
  • Reduced lifespan of electrical equipment
  • Unstable voltage and poor power quality
  • Higher carbon footprint and energy waste

Utilities like Eskom charge penalties for poor power factor, adding significant cost to businesses that aren’t optimising their electrical usage.

How the Smart Electricity Saver Works

The Smart Electricity Saver is an advanced Power Factor Correction and Monitoring Device that continuously analyses your electrical loads and identifies inefficiencies in real time. It then:

  • Corrects poor power factor by dynamically adjusting reactive power
  • Reduces demand charges and avoids Eskom penalties
  • Suppresses surges and harmonics
  • Filters voltage noise to protect sensitive equipment
  • Enhances overall power quality and energy efficiency
