Power Factor Correction Services – Save Energy & Reduce Costs

Power Factor Correction: An Overlooked Opportunity for Energy Efficiency

Power factor correction is a highly effective strategy to help your business become more energy-efficient, save money, and enhance your corporate reputation.

Poor power factor is often caused by equipment that demands large amounts of reactive power, such as transformers and motors. This issue is particularly prevalent in industrial and manufacturing sites. Power factor can deteriorate further if equipment is inefficient or unsuitable—for example, part-loaded motors tend to operate at a worse power factor than fully loaded motors.

Comprehensive Power Factor Correction Services

QUEST Electrical provides a full power factor correction service and maintenance programme for all makes and models across the UK. With a nationwide network of in-house electrical engineers, we offer a comprehensive service and maintenance package for energy-saving power products and switchgear, regardless of the manufacturer or your location.

Protect Your Energy Investments

If your business has already invested in energy-saving techniques, it’s essential to include a planned maintenance schedule to protect that investment. QUEST Electrical offers tailored power factor correction programmes and switchgear maintenance schedules to ensure your systems continue to operate efficiently and deliver cost savings over the long term.

The Benefits of Power Factor Correction

Power factor correction offers significant benefits to commercial businesses, including reduced energy usage, cooler running systems, avoidance of energy penalties, longer-lasting components, less downtime, and improved safety.

Energy Efficiency and Reduced Electricity Costs

Reactive power represents electricity that is generated but not effectively utilised. Utility providers often impose financial penalties on businesses that fail to maintain power factors above 0.9.

Power factor correction enhances circuit efficiency by reducing voltage drops in long cables, lowering heat loss, and ensuring that more of the supplied power is used for productive work. These improvements result in lower energy consumption and reduced utility penalties, making power factor correction a valuable addition to your business operations.

By integrating power factor correction into your systems, you can significantly lower electricity costs while improving your environmental footprint.

Equipment Lifespan and Reducing the Risk of Failure

In addition to energy efficiency, power factor correction helps extend the lifespan and reliability of your electrical components by reducing heat generation and current demand. Excessive heat can shorten equipment lifespan and pose a fire risk.

Fluctuations in reactive power can cause abrupt voltage changes, damaging sensitive components. By minimising the risk of voltage-related failures, power factor correction safeguards your equipment and ensures ongoing operational reliability.
