The next test you do, try using a wattmeter. You will find that it will be the same with the caps on or off. Which means no reduction in your bill. For you see, your residential meter is a watthour meter. You will correct the power factor and help the power company with I2R losses on the source side of the meter.
But heres the kicker - electric companies measure and charge for only the resistance load, electricity that does work. They do not care about the reactive load for residential homes because it is generally minimal. They do measure the reactive load for industrial use, where certain pieces of equipment may have significant reactive load - but not to residential customers. Therefore the savings for a residential user should be minimal to nothing.
sbrn33 This is Rich, one of the "total liars" in the video. Did you see the reduction in average kwh in the video? The numbers don't lie! On 9/24 we went before the Deptartment of Public Utilities in the state of Connecticut to prove how effective this technology can be in eliminating electrical waste through power factor optimization. We have additional meetings scheduled. stay tuned. P.S. If you ever call me a lier again I'm gonna punch you right in the mouth and I'm not lying!
No there is not a line item on a residential electric bill like a commercial bill, people would have a fit not knowing what it meant. You can say you're not penalized for having a poor power factor but you're penalized just the same because amps is amps. You're just wasting that reactive energy in the form of heat. Heat from the motor, the wires, etc. You pay for power, or watts, which is according to ohms law, watts=current X voltage, or P=IE.
Scam, try selling AMWAY you might have better luck.

These guys are total liars!!!
Let me guess, they also sell this product.
In real life no residential customers are billed for bad power factor.
Ask any electrician that doesn't sell these and they will tell you that this just is not true.

Best to clock the meter dial with and without.
