KVAR Energy Controller

There is truth in the fact that our homes have devices which consume electricity at reduced power factors. As an example we know that CFL light bulbs have a Power factor of between 55% and 70%, while incandescent light bulbs have a power factor of 100%. All electric motors, including fridges, air conditioners, fans and computers generate reactive power which will affect a homes power factor.

Based on the above information it sounds logical that a technology which corrects power factor would save money. But this is not a correct conclusion at all. Improving consumer power factor, assuming the technology works as claimed, has ZERO - NIL - NONE - ZILCH - affect on the amount of money a consumer is charged for their electricity.

We have posted a correct explanation as to why power factor correction makes no difference to a consumers electricity bill at open4energy.

In addition we have posted a correct explanation of the claims being made by the biggest offender, a business going by the name of KVAR Energy Systems, and their product called KVAR Energy Controller who have a large network of resellers operating operating under many names. Their solution may (to be validated) be useful in commercial and residential situations but it is simply bogus when it comes to consumers.
