When they’re not working at full capacity they pull more energy than they use, wasting the difference. <BR/>And let’s face it, rarely does any appliance or device in your home constantly work at full capacity. In fact, the average home in America today operates at a power factor of .77. That means 23% of the electricity being delivered to the home is being wasted by the use of motorized appliances working at less than capacity. <BR/><BR/>You can increases that power factor, in most cases, to .97 or .98, therefore increasing the effective use of your electricity and lowering your usage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
