3. What is Power Factor?
   Power factor is the percentage of electricity that’s delivered to your home or business and used effectively, compared with what is wasted. For example, a 1.0 power factor means that all the electricity that’s being delivered to your home is being used effectively for its purpose. However, most homes in America today have less than a .76 power factor. This means that approximately 76% of the electricity that is coming through your meter at your home or business that you are paying for is being used effectively; the other 24% that you are still paying for is being wasted by the inductive loads. So if your building has a low power factor, the utility has to deliver more electricity to be able to allow you to do the same work. However, the KVAR increases that Power Factor above a .96 in most cases, thus increasing the effective use of your electricity, reducing the amount of electricity supplied and therefore saves you money.
