With consumers facing ever increasing energy bills amid a changing competitive landscape heavily influenced by legislation (ie the FiT review), the proven savings achievable with VPhase Voltage Optimisation is in increasing demand. Electricians in particular are interested in the ease of installation and the added value they can offer their customers.
