Reduce energy consumption by 5 to 12% and lower electric bills without yelling at your kids to turn off the light or turn down the music. Sounds too good to be true, but it is. Did you know that eletricity from your local utility company comes into your house and business in a wide range above and below 110 volts (114 to 126 volt). And it is when the voltage that comes in high, you’ll be charged for higher energy that your electrical equipment will never be able to used. Check how close you are located away from a substation, the closer you are, the more likely your electric voltage is coming in too high into your home or residential. This is because utility company needs to make sure customer at the end of feed will receive the minimum standard of 114 volts during peak load.
