A fantastic year for EnergyAce comes to an end!
EnergyAce will be shut for the Christmas and new year period from midday today to Tuesday 3rd January.
We are all excited for another great year with our growing team!
Energy Saving – Quick Wins With Voltage Optimization
With energy prices rising at an alarming rate, it is now even more important for businesses to ensure that any opportunities to save energy is thoroughly explored.
One opportunity you may not be very familiar with is Voltage Management or Voltage Optimization.
The theory behind voltage optimization is simple. There is a difference between the voltage supplied to a building and the voltage appliances are designed to operate at more efficiently. On average the voltage across UK business is 242V and due to electrical equipment being manufactured to work across the whole European Union, this means that the optimum operating voltage required by electrical equipment to work most efficiently is more around 220V and 230V. This overvoltage not only costs more, but it also shortens the life of electrical equipment.
The surplus voltage produces additional heat, noise, and vibration, it also causes stress on electrical equipment (particularly motors) and can damage electronic systems like computers and LED lighting which are more vulnerable to overvoltage and fail much sooner. An EnergyAce voltage optimization system ensures that a building only consumes the energy it needs rather than additional energy due to overvoltage supplied from the grid. It does this by optimising the incoming voltage, lowering electricity consumption, to reduce electricity bills, and reduce the wear and tear on electrical equipment.
Benefits of Voltage Optimization include
- Voltage optimization reduces Electricity bills by Up To 20%.
- Works on all circuits within a building all day every day.
- Simple installation – voltage optimization usually installed around 1 hour with no need to change your electricity supplier.
- Voltage optimization increases the life of electrical equipment.
- Can be installed alongside Solar PV and improves efficiency of heat pumps and renewable systems.
- No maintenance required.
- Guaranteed savings.
- 15-year warranty.

Meeting the Pride Of Britain
A few members of the EnergyAce team had the pleasure of meeting Freddie and Hughie on Saturday at the Wigan vs Blackpool match.
These two absolute stars have raised over £220,000 for every oncology ward in the UK by running 1km around 100 football grounds after Hughie was diagnosed with Leukemia and Freddie vowed to help him thank his doctors and nurses.

13 Stadiums down, 87 to go. Keep smashing it lads!
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
Following the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II it is with great sadness that we join the country in mourning our monarchs passing.
As a mark of respect we will close our offices on Monday 19th September.
We will reopen on Tuesday 20th September.
In emergency please contact our office on 01695 559785 and follow our recorded instructions
Thank you very much for your understanding
En-route to London!
This morning EnergyAce sent out 1350Kvar worth of Detuned Power Factor Correction to a large food supplier in London.
This will help the user to save money on their energy bills through reduction in reactive power charges and savings on their Kwh consumption.
This technology can be hugely beneficial in any business! To find out the savings that your business could incur, get in touch with us today on 01695 559785 or email post@energyace today.
EnergyAce as seen in SME Magazine
EnergyAce have a full page in SME magazine’s Summer 2022 edition!
Our article focuses on the huge benefits Voltage Management has and how utilising this technology can save SME’s money in a time where energy bills are through the roof and show little sign of slowing. These benefits are not just limited to SME’s. Voltage Management can potentially help any size business or home. To find out how we can help you out give our office a call on 01695 559785.
Make sure you check out the full magazine (particularly page 26) below.
Don’t go nuts over energy bills!
With energy prices rising at an alarming rate and showing no signs of slowing down, it is now even more important for SME’s (Small medium enterprises) to ensure that any opportunities to save are not squandered. One opportunity you may not be very familiar with is Voltage Management.
The theory behind voltage management is simple. There is a difference between the voltage supplied to a building and the voltage appliances are designed to operate at more efficiently. On average the voltage across UK business is 242V (420V three phase) and due to electrical equipment being manufactured to work across the European Union, this means that the optimum operating voltage required by electrical equipment to work most efficiently is more around 220V and 230V. This overvoltage not only costs more, but it also shortens the life of electrical equipment. The surplus voltage produces additional heat, noise, and vibration, it also causes stress on electrical equipment (particularly motors) and can damage electronic systems like computers and LED lighting which are more vulnerable to overvoltage and fail much sooner. An EnergyAce voltage optimisation system ensures that a building only consumes the energy it needs rather than additional energy due to overvoltage supplied from the grid. It does this by optimising the incoming voltage, lowering electricity consumption, to reduce electricity bills, and reduce the wear and tear on electrical equipment.
Benefits of Voltage Management include
- Reduces Electricity bills by Up To 20%.
- Works on all circuits within a building all day every day.
- Simple installation – Usually around 1 hour with no need to change your electricity supplier.
- Increases the life of electrical equipment.
- Can be installed alongside Solar PV and improves efficiency of heat pumps and renewable systems.
- No maintenance required.
- Guaranteed savings.
- 15-year warranty.
To summarise, a Voltage Optimiser acts as a control valve to only take from the grid what is required. This increased level of control prolongs equipment lifespan, lowers how much a company pay on their energy bills and reduces CO2 minimising an SME’s carbon footprint.
But don’t just take our word for it! Here is what the Electrical Contractors Association says about the technology. “Voltage optimisation is one of the key new business opportunities for electrical contractors. The range, types, and size of buildings that can benefit from the savings voltage optimisation can deliver, makes it a great opportunity for consumers and our members.”
