POWER FACTOR UPGRADE SERVICES 

The electricity that powers your facility often gets over-
looked as an opportunity to become more energy efficient.
Power Factor and Power Quality are two important issues that
determine cost and efficiency. Power quality can detrimentally
affect many of today’s electronic energy efficient technologies,
and in many cases is produced by facility equipment. Groom
engineers are experts at understanding key quality issues like
excessive harmonic distortion and transient voltage in your
facility and recommending technology that can cost effectively
protect your energy efficient investment.

Power Factor imbalances (low PF) regularly occur as inductive
and reactive loads imbalance your current draw from your
power provider. These imbalances created by capacitors and
inductors used in your facility, from power consumers such as
motors or magnetic ballasts with your older lighting systems,
can drive huge demand charges.

Your power provider often charges you both for your power
demand as well as your power factor quality, sometimes
representing up to 25% of your overall electricity costs.
Power Quality specialists on the Groom Energy team can
identify these opportunities, determine the sources and
implement correction measures. After studying your utility
bills, our on-site team will use power monitoring tools to
study all equipment inside your site, from the transformer
itself to any significant load consuming systems.
