Lightning Volts Energy Saver Specialty Service
Our Energy Saver is primarily a surge suppression device. It protects the entire home against power surges. Every year thousands of dollars are lost to damage from lightning strikes and utility power surges. Now there’s longer a need for so many surge protectors in the home. The unit provides a broad range of protection for hardwired appliances and most home electronics such as televisions, satellite equipment, entertainment systems, etc. The best thing about surge protection is that after it has been installed on your system, everything connected to it is protected by a free insurance policy that will cover any damage up to $25,000 dollars!
Save Energy & Money! Yes, you can save money on your electric bill every month and help reduce emissions from the utility company by using our Energy Saver!
Our Energy Saver is a small box that fits neatly next to your breaker panel saving you money month after month, year after year, protecting your home as well as your business. Residential & Commercial customers could realize savings of 8% – 15% typically and as much as 25% on their electrical usage.
How Does the Energy Saver Work?
The Energy Saver 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 Energy Saver 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 the power factor.
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 Energy Saver 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 Energy Saver 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!
1. Is your home over 2500 Square feet?
2. Is your central air conditioner/heat pump unit 3 years or older?
3. Is your forced air furnace 3 years or older?
4. Do your electric utility bills ever exceed $250.00
5. Do you have a pool? Do you have a well?
6. Do you use a window unit air conditioner?
7. Is your refrigerator/freezer not EnergyStar rated?
8. Do you have more than one refrigerator/freezer?
9. Is your washer/dryer not EnergyStar rated?
10. Do you have a hot tub or a jacuzzi?
11. Is your dishwasher not EnergyStar rated?
Will the Energy Saver 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.
How much can I expect to save per month by using the Energy Saver?
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 8% to 20% range.
Is the Energy Saver easy to Install?
Our prices include installation by our LICENSED electricians. The unit comes complete with full installation to your system. It installs in about 30 to 40 minutes.
Is this equipment UL Listed?
Yes! Our Energy Savers are UL & ULC certified.
TESTIMONIALS
“Best Electrician in town! I called Lightning Volts Electric because my cooktop kept shooting sparks when I tried to use it. I was very happy with Andy Reese. He came out earlier than expected and was very professional. He patiently explained the problem and made some recommendations to resolve the issue. I would definitely recommend Andy and Lightning Volts to our friends and family!”
“After one shady electrician blew us off, multiple times, Andy from Lightning Volt stepped in to save the day. He hadn’t ever worked with us before, but was willing to prioritize our job THE SAME DAY! He even went out to meet us after 5:00 and stayed until nearly 7:30. He really did a great job and went above and beyond to help us out. What a nice guy. Can’t say enough good things.”
“Took Care of The Problem! Very Courteous and friendly! Serviceman found a source of the problem. The lighting fixture did not need repair. Did not charge me as a result! I will certainly call him again anytime I have a fixture problem or need.”
“Professional! Excellent Work! Fast Diagnosis, completed the job very efficiently and took time to explain repairs to me. I am completely satisfied & would recommend this professional to anyone!”
“Trustworthy & Knowledgeable! Lightning Volt Electric’s President & Owner, Andy Reese is a pleasure to do business with! I have used their services for crucial projects with very tight timelines and Andy made sure his crews were always on time and had all the materials needed to complete the job on a timely basis. I highly recommend Lightning Volts Electric Service. I have found everyone on their team to be trustworthy and very knowledgeable. From lighting to power back up & generator transfer switches they have performed their work with pride and craftsmanship. They even cleaned up after each workday! If you have worked with many electricians, you know how rare this is!”
“Wow! Called and they said they would come out and give me a free estimate. Came the next day just at the time promised. Jarrod Huser was the technician. Nice young man. He explained the issue and he fixed it in a matter of minutes & showed me how to do it myself. He said he could not charge me just for that little job. Again, WOW! That is the best service you can get & shows the goodness of the American worker and the work ethic of our service folks. Thanks!”
“Excellent Work! They did a great job getting all the electrical issues I had done quickly & accurately. They even came back to look at an additional problem I had in just a few hours. I highly recommend their service. Good job and a good price!”
“Professional Service. My Ceilings were high so the electrician had to rent a scaffolding truck to install the fans. The electrician was professional in spite of the fact that midway through the job, we had to purchase different down poles which necessitated him removing an already installed unit and waiting. Great Job!”
“Personal Service! They came out to give me an estimate instead of quoting over the phone, which allowed me to discuss different options and pick the one I really wanted. Came to do the work on time.”
