Are you tired of watching your electricity bills climb month after month? Power factor correction could be the solution you’ve been searching for. It’s a smart, proven way to make your home’s electrical system more efficient, saving you money while reducing your environmental impact. At GP Electric, we specialize in bringing this cutting-edge technology to Calgary business owners, helping you take control of your energy costs with a solution that’s as practical as it is eco-friendly.


So, what exactly is power factor correction? Think of it as fine-tuning your properties' electrical system, much like you’d tune a car engine for better fuel efficiency. Many commercial or industrial buildings waste energy due to an imbalance in the way electricity is used, particularly with devices like air conditioners, refrigerators, and even some lighting systems. Power factor correction fixes this by installing capacitors that balance the electrical load, reducing waste and making your system run smoother. The result? Your property uses less energy to power the same devices, which means lower bills and a smaller carbon footprint.


The benefits go beyond just saving money. Calgary’s homeowners are increasingly focused on sustainability, and power factor correction aligns perfectly with the city’s green initiatives. By optimizing your electrical system, you’re not only cutting costs but also contributing to a cleaner, more efficient energy grid. Over time, this can lead to significant savings, with some business owners seeing up to a 20% reduction in their electricity bills. Plus, with Calgary’s energy rates on the rise, investing in efficiency now can protect you from future price hikes.


How does it work? It’s simpler than you might think. Our team at GP Electric starts with a thorough assessment of your home’s electrical setup. We identify areas where energy is being wasted and determine the right capacitors to install for maximum efficiency. The installation itself is quick and non-invasive, often completed in just a few hours. Once in place, the system works quietly in the background, optimizing your power usage without any effort on your part. It’s a set-it-and-forget-it solution that delivers results month after month.


You might be wondering, "Is power factor correction worth the investment?" For most Calgary business owners, the answer is a resounding yes. The initial setup pays for itself over time through energy savings, and with GP Electric’s expertise, you can trust that the job is done right. We’ve helped countless individuals across the city, from older structures in Mount Royal to modern builds in Evanston, cut their energy costs and improve their electrical efficiency. Our licensed electricians bring a wealth of local knowledge, ensuring your system is tailored to Calgary’s unique energy landscape.

Frequently Asked Questions About Power Factor Correction

  • What is power factor correction?

    Power factor correction (PFC) is a method to make your electrical system more efficient. It reduces wasted energy (reactive power) from devices like motors, air conditioners, or refrigerators by adding capacitors to balance the load. This helps your system run better and use less electricity.

  • How long does the installation process take?

    Larger commercial setups might need a day or two. An electrician will check your system and let you know the timeline upfront.





  • What are the benefits of power factor correction?

    Here’s why PFC is worth it:


    Saves money: Lower energy waste means cheaper electricity bills.


    Boosts capacity: Your system can support more devices without upgrades.


    Extends equipment life: Less strain on wiring and appliances.


    Eco-friendly: Reduced energy use shrinks your carbon footprint.

  • How does power factor correction save energy?

    PFC cuts down on reactive power, which is energy your system draws but doesn’t use effectively. By fixing this, your home or business consumes less electricity overall, lowering your bills and boosting efficiency without changing how your devices work.
