or UK businesses, electricity bills are one of the largest operational expenses. While solar panels and efficient heating can help, there’s another technology that often flies under the radar but delivers significant savings: voltage optimisation systems.
What is Voltage Optimisation?
Voltage optimisation (VO) is a technology that reduces the voltage of incoming electricity to a level that’s optimal for your equipment. Many commercial buildings receive higher voltage than necessary, which can lead to wasted energy, overheating, and wear on electrical appliances.
By installing a VO system, businesses can:
-
Reduce energy consumption without changing day-to-day operations.
-
Extend the lifespan of equipment, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
-
Lower carbon emissions, helping businesses hit sustainability targets.
Who Can Benefit?
-
Offices & Commercial Buildings – Lighting, computers, and HVAC systems operate more efficiently.
-
Factories & Warehouses – Heavy machinery benefits from reduced energy waste and longer life.
-
Hotels & Retail Spaces – Reduce operational costs while maintaining comfort and service standards.
Real-World Savings
Businesses that implement voltage optimisation typically see energy savings of 10–15%, depending on the building and equipment type. Beyond savings, the reduced stress on electrical appliances decreases downtime and repair costs, creating a double benefit.
Sustainability & Compliance
With energy efficiency becoming a core requirement in corporate sustainability policies, voltage optimisation is a simple yet impactful step toward lowering carbon footprints and achieving compliance with environmental targets.
Final Thoughts
Voltage optimisation is a practical, cost-effective solution for UK businesses looking to cut energy costs, protect equipment, and embrace sustainability. It’s a small change with big impact—and at Lectogic, we specialise in tailoring VO systems to your specific energy needs.
