Power-Save
1200™ Frequently Asked Questions
How Does the Power-Save Unit
Work?
The Power-Save reduces the amount of power drawn from the utility by
storing (in its capacitors) otherwise lost
electricity (watts) caused by the inductive motors in your home. (Some
examples of inductive motors are Air
Conditioning units, refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers,
dishwashers, pool pumps, vacuum cleaners,
furnace blower motors, fans etc.) The technology applied by the
Power-Save 1200™ Unit supplies that stored electricity back to your
inductive loads, thus causing you to decrease your demand from the
utility. If you decrease your demand from the utility, your meter slows
down, and you use less electricity. The thought is, you’ve already paid
for that electricity, why pay for it and waste it when you can pay for
it, store it, and reuse it again. This whole
process is called power factor optimization.

What is Power Factor?
Power factor is the percentage of electricity that’s delivered to your
house and used effectively, compared to what is wasted. For example, a
1.0 power factor means that all the electricity that’s being delivered
to your home is being used effectively for its purpose. However, most
homes in America today have a .77 power factor or less. This means that
77% of the electricity that is coming thru your meter at your home or
business is being used effectively, the other 23% is being wasted by
your inductive load. With a low power factor, the utility has to
deliver more electricity to do the same work. However, the Power-Save
unit increases that power factor in most cases to .97 or .98, thus
increasing the effective use of your electricity and lowering your
usage.
Does the Power-Save 1200™ work
in any home?
Yes it does, as long as you have a circuit breaker panel with breaker
switches and not the old screw in type fuses, the unit will work on any
single-phase electric application for homes. If
you say "yes" to only two or more of the following
then you could be saving a significant amount of money on your electric
bill right now!
| Is your home over 2500 Square feet? |
| Is your central air conditioner / heat pump unit 3
years or older? |
| Is your
forced air furnace 3 years or older? |
| Do you
have a pool? |
| Do you
have a well? |
| Do you
use an air conditioner? |
| Is your
refrigerator / freezer not EnergyStar rated? |
| Do you
have more than one refrigerator / freezer? |
| Is your
washer / dryer not EnergyStar rated? |
| Do you
have a hot tub or a jacuzzi? |
| Is your
dishwasher not EnergyStar rated? |
| Do you
have a number of appliances in your home? |
Do you have a 3-phase Power-Save for commercial and industrial
applications?
Yes!
Will the Power-Save affect any of my appliances and their normal use?
No, if anything, your motors will run about 10% cooler, which is good
for a motor because heat is the enemy of a motor.
Is the Power-Save tested and approved by independent labs?
Yes, the Power-Save 1200™ is UL listed and tested, and has also been
tested by the University of Santa Clara California’s Electrical
Engineering department, of which the results of that test are available
on our website. Also, the technology is recognized by the U.S.
Department of Energy.
How much can I expect to save per month by using the Power-Save?
That depends on many factors. The size of your home, the amount of
inductive motor load, and the amount you are paying per kilowatt-hour
for electricity etc. However, generally speaking users of the product
have seen up to 25% in reduced consumption, but the average savings is
somewhere in the 15% to 20% range.
How long will it take for the Power-Save to pay for itself?
Generally about 6-12 months, but again, the same factors above apply,
some will see sooner (6 months), some will see later (12 months).
Is the Power-Save easy to Install?
We recommend installation by an electrician. The unit comes with
complete installation instructions. It installs in about 20-30 minutes.
How long will the Power-Save last?
It has a predicted lifespan of up to 20 years.
Why haven’t I heard of these product until now?
That’s easy, two words “cost effectiveness”. Up until recently,
electric rates throughout America were cheap, costing us 2, 3 or 4
cents per kilowatt-hour. Now, electric rates are 8, 10, 12, 14, and 19
and in some cases New York City is 22 cents per Kwh, and Hawaii is 33.5
cents per Kwh. At the cheaper rates the Power-Save didn’t make sense,
but at the current rates, it makes all the sense in the world.
What About Power-Save for Surge Protection?
The Power-Save also protects the entire home against power surges. No
longer a need for so many surge protectors in the home. The US-1
provides a broad range of protection for hardwired appliances and most
home electronics such as televisions, satellite equipment,
entertainment systems, etc. The unit protects from power line surges as
well as spikes caused by internal wiring problems, loose connections
and fluctuating demand from large motors such as appliances, vacuum
cleaners, heating and cooling equipment, etc.
