The ideal time to implement power factor correction would depend on the current demands of the site, and what the expected future needs will be. A point to note: Power factor systems and units are not always essential to all sites. However, if you want to save money and increase power consumption efficiency in the future, you should consider integrating a power factor unit as part of your operations budget. Please contact us for information and advice.  

A new power factor correction unit will last from 5 to 15 years, with scheduled preventative maintenance.
