Bob Bruns replied to Paul Stevens's discussion Peak Energy Saver"By residential solar, you mean Photo Voltaic I will assume, where the energy from the sun is converted to electric power. The conversion is to DC, direct current, for which power factor is not applicable. There is a second device, called an…"
Fred Stratton replied to Paul Stevens's discussion Peak Energy Saver"I sure as heck agree with all the statements about the deceptive 'pitch' on this kind of device. Do they have any application in residential solar applications? Just wondering."
Bob Blanchette replied to Paul Stevens's discussion Peak Energy Saver"Unless your utility bills you for low power factor (I've not seen one that does for residential) this device will save no money. On commercial applications a simple capacitor wired across the motor leads or power line is what is used to correct…"
Joe Romero replied to Paul Stevens's discussion Peak Energy Saver"It is looking like a good deal, but I am sorry to say that I do not know about this and I am curious to find more about this. Thank you for taking our attention to this. I am going to find out more and will be back here with detail information, but…"
Bob Bruns replied to Paul Stevens's discussion Peak Energy Saver"I did see a demo of this system recently. Classic KVAR scam.

Is any one familiar with the Peak Energy Saver from www.peakenergytech.com The unit is intended to store energy from motors used in the home and then supply the stored energy back to the home, thus reducing consumption. Clames to reduce energy consumption between 10% and 25%. Fact or Fiction, does any one know? Thanks PJ Stevens See More
Danny S. Parker replied to Paul Stevens's discussion Peak Energy Saver"Paul,
Fiction. Fraudulent is another good word.
This is another in a long-line of power factor "black box" scams. Another manufacturer, KVAR, is particularly egregious, preying on gullible homeowners.
Note that there are always…"
Bob Bruns replied to Paul Stevens's discussion Peak Energy Saver"Fiction. These guys appear every year with a different story. Once they get sued they change the name. You can get one of these on E-bay for under $200 if you want to prove it doesn't work."

Paul Stevens replied to Joshua Knittel's discussion Marketing | Packages"Not all home are equiped with combustion appliances.
by all means homes equiped with combustion appliances must be tested and priced acordingly."
Paul Stevens replied to Joshua Knittel's discussion Marketing | Packages"Just one thought. If you go into the corner grocery store and ask for a Hershey bar the price is the price we take it or leave it. If the price were negotiable wee would never be sure if we were getting the best price and we may doubt the value of…"
Paul Stevens replied to Joshua Knittel's discussion Marketing | Packages"Lean and mean is tempting, however our audit services have value and it is up to us to convey the value to the consumer base. It is easy to lower prices and difficult to increase them. keeping in mind all markets are different and the cost of living…"
