our approach aimed at efficiency & reduced cost.

Designed to optimise electrical performance

Delivered safely, reliably, and compliant with standards

Commercial & industrial power factor correction services

Power factor correction (PFC) is a proven method of improving how electrical power is used by reducing the amount of reactive power your system draws from the grid. A low power factor indicates that your electrical supply isn’t being used efficiently, leading to higher energy costs, potential reactive power penalties from your supplier, and unnecessary strain on electrical equipment.

We help businesses assess their electrical systems, identify opportunities for correction, and design and install tailored solutions — typically using capacitor banks, automatic correction panels, or other power quality equipment. This ensures more of the electricity supplied is used productively, reduces wasted energy, and can eliminate reactive power charges while increasing system capacity without costly infrastructure upgrades.

service related FAQ’s

Why does poor power factor matter?2026-01-25T18:03:04+00:00

A poor power factor increases current demand, leading to higher energy costs, possible utility penalties, and increased wear on electrical equipment.

How can PFC reduce costs?2026-01-25T18:03:26+00:00

By reducing reactive power and apparent power demand, PFC can lower electricity bills, avoid reactive power charges, and increase usable system capacity without expensive supply upgrades.

Do you provide ongoing support?2026-01-25T18:04:17+00:00

Yes. We offer monitoring, maintenance, and optimisation services to keep your PFC system performing efficiently over time.

What is power factor correction?2026-01-25T18:02:41+00:00

Power factor correction improves the efficiency of an electrical system by reducing wasted reactive power, bringing the power factor closer to unity so electricity is used more effectively.

What types of systems are installed?2026-01-25T18:03:50+00:00

We install tailored solutions including fixed PFC, automatic power factor correction panels, and capacitor banks designed for your load profile and site needs.
