Why Manage Your Electricity?
Electricity that comes to your home from a substation has characteristics that are not ideal for your home or business, namely a poor Power Factor (PF). A poor PF can result in wires and motors overheating, shortening the life of your appliances or equipment and putting your electrical system at risk. When the PF is improved, motors will be more efficient due to them starting with less stress and running cooler, thus prolonging their life expectancy.
If you experience any static 'noise' on your phone or TV, the EMS Electricity Management Systems may reduce or eliminate the static by reducing noise on the powerline. Powerline noise can also damage sensitive electronic equipment like computers, wireless devices and more. It can even cause data loss if phone lines or a cable service is used for an internet connection.
Lastly, the EMS manages voltage transients. These are parasitic voltage spikes created by electronic sources in your home or business. These voltage spikes, if not managed, can reduce the life expectancy of appliances and can even cause light bulbs to burn out prematurely.
Now, thanks to the EMS Electricity Management Systems, there is a smart way to manage your home's or business's energy 24/7, reducing your electricity demand.
 Here's How It Works!
EMS Electricity Management Systems improve the Power Factor by reducing the amount of reactive power that the load draws from the utility company. This is accomplished by supplying the reactive power locally at the load by the use of specifically designed capacitors. These capacitors store the reactive power needed for stabilizing electric current within an inductive
load.Therefore, the amount
of reactive power purchased
from the power company
results in "lower utility costs if the power factor clause is enforced or the utility charges for the kVA demand."
 Why Improve The Power Factor?
EMS Electricity Management Systems are designed to reduce the kilovolt-amps (kVA or apparent power) on inductive motors in the home or business."The EMS Systems have been scientifically proven to consistently reduce kVAR,kVA and Amp values under constant kW load while improving Power Factor in homes or businesses."
The EMS Systems are a must for locations using kVA, Smart or Demand Meters. Since utility companies are switching to these types of meters for most homes and businesses, the EMS Systems are an absolute fit for today's energy saving needs.
The U.S. Department of Energy Fact Sheet reports that a low Power Factor is "expensive and inefficient". It also states that you can "improve your Power Factor to reduce your electric bills and to enhance your electrical system's capacity". EMS Systems are specially designed to improve Power Factor in homes and businesses.
 Independent Testing
The EMS Electricity Management Systems have been independently tested by a laboratory named 'Power Quality Engineering, Inc.' and

 Are EMS Systems Legal?
The answer is YES. Power factor optimization benefits the utility companies by the energy demands for portions of the grid. When the utility can't meet the energy demands of the grid, brown outs and in the worse case, black outs are the result.
The EMS Systems improve your home's Power Factor, thus reducing the amount of power your home requires. The utility company will be able to reassign that power to another portion of the grid
