Very often the electricity supply to a property is at a higher voltage level than needed. This results in excessive energy consumption, high electricity bills and reduced lifespan of appliances using the energy. A reduction in the voltage level can help save energy, reduce costs and prolong the lifespan of appliances and reduce maintenance costs.
In fact, Intel Corporation carried out a power optimization study in 1997. The study revealed that an 8.9% reduction in voltage on their microprocessors achieved a reduction of 20% in the power consumption.
The IEE (Institution of Electrical Engineers) have also carried out a study into over voltage and found that a 230V linear appliance used on a 240V supply will take 4.3% more current and will consume almost 9% more energy and only achieve 55% of its rated life.
Voltage optimization systems systematically optimize, regulate and clean the incoming power supply to bring the voltage supplied into a building in line with what is required.
How Does Voltage Optimization Work?
Unlike step-down transformers and voltage stabilizers, Voltage Optimization doesn’t just reduce the voltage, it offers true energy saving benefits as the unused energy is passed back to the grid.

Following on from the success of the solar panel installations and the impressive return on investment achieved by these, Energy Gain UK have designed and installed the UK’s first cascaded Air Source Heat System in one of Dovehaven’s biggest care homes. This system has been designed so that solar generated electricity can be used to power the air source heat pumps. These in turn produce an energy output 3 to 4 times greater than the power input.
Energy Gain UK specialises in serving domestic and commercial customers with natural energy technologies including solar PV, LED Lighting and air source heat pumps
