Unless your business is operating completely off grid by generating its own electricity, you’ll be powering your lights, fans, compressors, fridges, freezers and so on using electricity that’s supplied by the UK’s National Grid.
The National Grid supplies your electricity at a voltage of around 230 Volts, but did you know that not all equipment needs the 230 Volts you’re paying for? And that that many types of equipment simply waste what they don’t use.
Introducing voltage optimisation – a voltage optimisation device stops waste. By regulating the flow of electricity around your business it ensures that the energy your business pays for is utilised more effectively.
If you are interested in reducing your energy bills and carbon footprint, join this webinar to find out if voltage optimisation could help you.

- How it works
- Where it works best
- How much it costs
- The typical cost and carbon savings it can deliver
- How voltage optimisation can also increase the longevity of your equipment
- Key things to consider before installing a voltage optimisation device
