Wasted Electricity. Found Money.

Step 1: Free Assessment (1 hour) We measure your facility's electrical performance and analyze your utility bills. You receive a detailed report showing exactly what percentage of your bill is waste. Step 2: Custom Proposal (3-5 days) We design your solution, specify equipment, calculate ROI, and present financing options. Step 3: Order Equipment (4-8 weeks) We gather the specific components necessary to build out your custom-designed solution. Step 4: Professional Installation (1-2 days) Licensed electrician installs equipment with minimal disruption (brief power outage of 30-60 minutes is typical). Step 5: Continuous Monitoring (24/7) Your monitoring system tracks performance and proves savings every month.

We Prove Everything No Vague Promises. Just Measurable Data. We measure your facility, identify the exact percentage of waste, install proven solutions, then monitor 24/7 to verify results month after month. Industry-Standard Equipment No Proprietary Mysteries. We use proven technology from world-leading manufacturers. Real warranties. Real support. Real results. Performance Guaranteed We only Win if You Win. If your savings percentage falls short of projections, we troubleshoot, adjust, or refund the difference. Licensed Professionals Code-Compliant. Permitted. Insured. All installations are performed by licensed master electricians carrying comprehensive liability insurance.

For qualified customers, Volt Return may be able to stretch the cost of System Design and Installation over 2-3 years. The cost of your monthly Lease Payments will be, in most cases, more than offset by the savings our system creates on your electric bill. At the end of the Lease Term, you will own the equipment outright.

You can write off 100% of the cost of Volt Return Equipment in Year 1 under Section 179 Bonus Depreciation, significantly reducing the after-tax payback period. Please consult your Tax Advisor.

Virtually none. Systems are automatic and designed for 20+ years of maintenance-free operation.

Before putting together a customized proposal for a prospective customer, Volt Return installs a Diagnostic System to gather detailed information about the nature of your facility's electricity consumption patterns. Using this data, as well as 12 months or more of historical electric bills, we are able to determine how much cost savings the system should be able to generate, through a combination of reduced power consumption, and, in certain markets, reduction or outright elimination of Power Factor tariffs, which can represent up to 20% of your total bill. In most instances, the cost savings will be 10-15% on the low end, and up to 25-30% on the high end. If, for any reason, our Diagnostic System indicates that we cannot generate adequate savings to justify the expense of installing a Volt Return System, we will simply let you know that the value just isn't there in your case. Volt Return provides a Guarantee of a minimum 5% cost savings (measured as Year-over-Year billings over a minimum of 6 months, and assuming no material changes to the building or equipment), and will either alter or remove the System at no cost to the customer if we fail to deliver the promised savings.

Certain Utilities in specific markets charge customers some version of what is known as a "Power Factor Tariff" if a customer has significant variance in the amount of power they draw on an ongoing basis relative to the Peak Load generated by certain types of equipment including HVAC or Commercial Refrigeration Compressors, Induction Motors, etc. Examples of markets where these charges are prevalent include Texas, the Southeast, and the Industrial Midwest. These charges may appear on your electricity bill under different names. Examples include: - Billing Demand (kVA) - Reactive Demand Charge - Power Factor Adjustment - Excess kVAR - Ratchet/Billing Demand Adjustment Volt Return will evaluate your historical billing to determine if you are being subjected to these charges, then design a system specifically for your facility that can either dramatically reduce, or in some instances completely eliminate, these charges. It is important to note, however, than Volt Return can generate substantial savings even in markets that are NOT subject to these Fees simply by reducing the total amount of power being consumed by your facility.

The "Power Factor Tariff" is not a singular, uniform charge but rather a complex set of billing mechanisms designed to recover the costs of inefficient power delivery. Utilities are legally and physically mandated to supply Apparent Power (measured in kVA), not just the power that performs work. Understanding the distinction between the three components of AC power is critical for identifying why certain customers are penalized. ● Real Power (kW): This is the "working power" that performs useful tasks such as turning a motor shaft, heating a resistive coil, or illuminating an LED fixture. It is the portion of electricity that is converted into output. ● Reactive Power (kVAR): This is the "sustaining power" required by inductive loads—specifically electric motors, transformers, and magnetic lighting ballasts—to maintain the electromagnetic fields necessary for their operation. While kVAR performs no direct work, it is physically required to magnetize the equipment. ● Apparent Power (kVA): This is the vector sum of Real Power and Reactive Power. It represents the total capacity the utility must generate and transmit through its distribution network to serve the customer. The relationship between these three elements is defined by the Power Factor (PF), which is the ratio of Real Power to Apparent Power ($kW / kVA$). A perfect Power Factor is 1.0 (or 100%), meaning all supplied power is being used for work. However, most industrial facilities operate at a lower power factor due to the inductive nature of their machinery. From the utility's perspective, a customer with a low power factor is a financial liability. For example, if two factories both require 500 kW of Real Power to run their machines, but Factory A has a PF of 100% and Factory B has a PF of 80%, the utility must deliver 500 kVA to Factory A but 625 kVA to Factory B. This extra 125 kVA requires the utility to install larger transformers, thicker transmission cables, and additional capacitor banks on the grid to handle the excess current (Amps). Because the utility incurs capital costs to build this extra capacity, Public Utility Commissions (PUCs) authorize them to structure commercial tariffs in ways that pass these costs back to the specific customers responsible for them. This is the origin of the "Power Factor Tariff."
