- How do LIBERTY Energysavers save money?
Energytime LLC has designed and developed a full line of energy saving products suitable for residential, commercial and industrial applications. The LIBERTY product line up addresses wasted electrical energy consumption by introducing power factor correction units which store and release energy and provide a “boost” to inductive devices such as motors, compressors, air conditioners, pool pumps, blowers, well pumps and the like. These products reduce overall energy consumption and additionally reduce the excessive 'demand charges' placed on commercial and industrial consumers.
- Why improve your power factor?
-
According to the US Department of Energy:
- Your utility bill will be smaller.
- You can avoid additional fees charged by Utilities for poor power factors.
- Your electrical system's branch capacity will increase.
- You may experience voltage drops as power losses increase.
- Voltage drops can cause overheating and premature failure of motors and other inductive equipment.
- What is a power factor correction unit, what does it look like and do?
-
The LIBERTY EnergySaver products are attractive black boxes which fit neatly next to your breaker panel, and save you money year after year by reducing your energy costs. Additionally it assists to protect the entire facility from harmful electrical power surges and voltage sags.
Designed and manufactured in the USA, the LIBERTY EnergySaver 1200™ was designed with the homeowner in mind, the larger LIBERTY EnergySaver 3200™ is for light commercial and industrial loads and the LIBERTY EnergySaver 3400™ provides service for heavier industrial and commercial loads up to 400 AMP, three-phase power. Multiple units may be combined for higher amperage applications.
The results are lower energy bills, increased motor and appliance life, and a new level of surge and electrical protection for much of the equipment inside of your house or commercial facility.
- How does it do that ?
-
In applications where energy is used primarily inductively, (that is, all forms of electrical motors, compressors, electrical pumps, furnaces, wells, air conditioning, blowers, conveyors, presses, stamping machines, machining centers, molding machines, etc) power factor correction equipment has been long proven to save energy.
Our utilities supply alternating current (AC) power. AC power, like an ocean wave, requires energy to increase the wave on the front side of the alternating cycle and releases energy as the wave decreases on the backside of the cycle. Similarly, in inductive motors, an additional energy pulse is required and loss occurs in the “backside” of the AC power cycle at a rate of 120 times a second.
All LIBERTY Energysaver products use differing values of high-powered, precision capacitors to capture and store lost energy and then release it to the “upside” to provide an effective boost for those applications which have “inductive” loads. This reduces usage and peak demands on the utility, subsequently reducing your energy bill.
It will have no effect on resistive loads such as lighting and electric heaters.
- What are the typical savings ?
-
Residential and commercial customers throughout North America typically see a realized savings of 8% - 15% (up to as much as 25%) on their electrical usage. The LIBERTY EnergySaver products are safe and have been tested and certified to UL Standards.
Commercial and industrial customers will additionally benefit from a significant reduction on “demand charges” in many applications where large inductive loads are causing excessive and peaking demands from the utility suppliers.
- What is the environmental impact?
-
Money isn't all that you are saving when you use LIBERTY EnergySaver products. It's a purchasing decision with many positive energy-wide environmental implications. Overall, less power is demanded from the utilities and consumers benefit with lower costs. In the long run, utilities can supply more useful power to more customers, without additional equipment, without generating additional energy and without additional greenhouse gases and carbon. It's a green choice that benefits all of us.
- Why haven't I heard of it?
-
By federal regulations, we in North America have never had to employ capacitor-based “power factor correction techniques” in our products. However, it is common in many other countries around the world, notably Europe and EC countries, where the cost of energy and infrastructure has been historically high.
The primary purpose of these techniques is to reduce the amount of inefficient power drawn from the local Utility Company. However, as a side consequence, capacitive “power factor correction” saves lost power and money at the end user's site as well.
Energy prices are now increasingly expensive in North America and are not expected to become less expensive in the future. These higher prices justify the cost of the equipment readily. For business owners and families, an opportunity to save on energy costs is welcomed.
The LIBERTY EnergySaver is a capacitive “power factor correction” energy-saving device now available for the whole home, office or factory providing energy savings effortlessly, day after day.
- What are the guarantee details?
-
Designed and tested to comply with UL standards, the LIBERTY products are proudly made in the USA to our exacting standards of quality and excellence and are guaranteed to save you money.
The price includes a 60-day money-back guarantee if you don't experience an energy reduction under normalized conditions. See the guarantee and returns policy for details. Installation services and parts are not included under terms of the guarantee, unless specifically authorized.
- How do I have a LIBERTY Energysaver installed?
-
In some areas, Energytime provides complete service, including installation by a certified, insured and licensed electrician.
In addition, LIBERTY Energysaver units are generally available through major electrical supply distributors or directly from the manufacturer for installation by qualified, independent licensed and insured contractors and electricians. Installation typically takes less than 60 minutes per unit. A separate circuit breaker is required and the installation must conform to local electrical codes.
