Testimonial:

"We hired them to remove 2 pendant track lighting systems that had 14 pendants. They put in 7 recessed can lights, a chandelier, and 2 wall sconces. They repaired the holes in the ceiling. They are a full service company and have access to contractors. I have used this company several times for variouis sized jobs with great results. The estimates are really competitive."  Mark T., Northpark, CA

Save Energy And Save Money Too

One question that is ever present in today's energy economy is, "How can I save money and energy?" Current and emerging technologies are now helping us answer those two questions. Through larger investments, a customer can save money and energy by investing in renewable energies like solar and wind, but recently there is another emerging technology that holds great promise for saving money and energy with a much smaller investment. That new technology is power correction. Both Solar and power correction will decrease your carbon footprint and provide you a perceivable ROI (return on investment) within a relatively short period of time.

Solar and wind harnessing technologies are very common, and this web site has more information located here . So, what are power correction modules? From an outward appearance, they are nondescript, gray boxes with a small lamp. And what they do is reduce your power consumption and save you money. You may wonder how this is achieved? Please read on.

Update

We are often asked if these devices are the modern day "magic tonic" similar to products pushed by carpetbaggers 100 years ago. The product we have carefully selected is not a magic tonic - it really works. This is not the only unit out there, however, there are competitors that work half as well or not at all. The unit chosen by Creative Electric is UL Listed (Underwriters Laboratory), CSA Certified, member of the U.S. Green Building Council, NASA tested, and looking ahead to Energy Star certification and does exactly what it promises. But like any industry, there are areas where customers can be misled. Our solution is not to install a unit on every house and apartment because not everyone will have the need to warrant such a purchase. While others who may believe they do not need it, like alternative energy users, could see a reduction of wear on their batteries. Here at Creative Electric, we will provide you with the business ethical solution.

The fact is, unless you are a specifically trained electrician, you will find it very difficult to calculate the savings yourself monthly. If you attempted this yourself, you would have to note when the kids left the lights on all night, or if the air-conditioner had been running non-stop during a hot-spell, and etc. With all of these variations, special equipment is required to effectively measure this.

A positive side-effect

We have seen a common positive side-effect too. Consumers are looking more closely at their power bill and are more aware of their usage. So, they are checking to make sure the lights and television are off before going to bed, and turning their thermostats back while their at work or vacation. We are promoting this movement to lower the energy consumption.

Power factor is the relationship between working (active ) power and total power consumed (apparent power).. Essentially, power factor is a measurement of how effectively electrical power is being use. A higher power factor represents a more effective use of electrical power. A distribution system's operating power is composed of two parts: Active (working) power and reactive (non-working magnetizing) power. The ACTIVE power performs the useful work - the REACTIVE power does not. Reactive power's only function is to develop magnetic fields required by inductive loads.

How does this product help?

Why should I improve my low power factor? Low power factor means poor electrical efficiency. The lower the power factor, the higher the apparent power drawn from the distribution network. When low power factor is not optimized, the utility must provide the nonworking reactive power in addition to the working active power. This results in the use of larger generators, transformers, bus bars, wires, and other distribution system devices that otherwise would not be necessary.

• Reduced electrical energy consumption (watts)
• Reduced line current
• Increased voltage at the load
• Better voltage regulation and lower losses
• Increased equipment life from reduced operating temperature
• Reduced power surge during motor start-up
• Increased power panel capacity
• Reduced air conditioning loads from reduced operating temperatures
• Reduces Electricity costs
• Reduces EMFs
• Amp Surge Protects
• Prolongs life of the motors
• Reduces and in some cases Eliminates the surcharges and Penalties inflicted by the Utility Company
• ROI (Return on investment) can be as low as 3 months or up to 36 months

Creative Electric works directly with a company representative to provide new, warrantied devices at the lowest cost. You may see similar products on eBay, but those are definitely not factory direct and therefore you don't know if it is a foreign knock-off or warrantied. If we install this at your office or residence, you have will have manufacture warranty of five and twelve years, respectively.

Is this power factor correcting module legal? Absolutely. It has over 14 patents nationally and internationally and has additional energy and safety tests conducted by the following organizations: EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), U.S. Department of Energy, and RoHS compliant [UK/Britain] (Restriction of Hazardous Substances). This product is American made and distributed worldwide.
