I’ve just seen an interesting demonstration by Greg Taylor, the inventor of the KVAR energy saving unit AKA KEC. The KEC unit is claimed to reduce your electricity bill by up to 25%. It works by magic optimizing the wattage and voltage curves making the delivered electricity more efficient.

The savings only work with inductive electric motors, which are one of the major power consumers in many homes (washing machines, air conditioning units, driers, etc).

The domestic unit retails for $399 and can be fitted by a qualified electrician, return on investment is rapid (12 months) and along with the saved energy costs it also increases the life of the motors and appliances.

The demonstration did look impressive and if it really does what it says then the technology will save people a fair amount of money but it did seem a bit too good to be true.
