(Home) Power Factor Correction

It seems that there is some confusion on whether or not Power Factor Correction actually works for a residential home.
The answer to this question is absolutely "YES". I have installed several of these, and although the results vary, the outcome has always been favorable.
I have seen a savings anywhere from 6% to 18%, so for someone to say that they do not work is just wrong.

The problem is everyone is asking their utility company, if the power factor correction devices will save them money on their electric bills. And the response from the utility company is that they do not charge residential homes for power factor.
However, it is true that most utility companies do not charge a fee for low power factor to residential homes. But they do charge for watts used, and these devices lower the amperage of inductive motors therefore lowering the watts, thus lowering your electric bills.

If these power factor units are installed properly, by an experienced installer they are very efficient, and you can expect to save up to 20% off your electric bill.
The more motors in your home, the more saving you can expect. With your largest savings coming from well pumps,pool pumps A/C, blower motors ect....
