For residential they do not meter for power factor but, because of the CFL push, power companies blanketed in there PF correction as part of the new higher rates. So weather I use CFL or Incandescent, I get fined the same amount. Commercial is another story and those rates are location dependent.
Nevermind, just read the comment and answer below.

Great video DJD. One question, is there an additional price from the power company for power factor correction on the CFL?
