Dayton, OH – A new section of the Staco Energy Products Company web site – the Energy Savings Community, helps users to better understand their energy usage and thus the potential for energy savings.  The Financial Power Diet discusses power factor and how its correction can help to lower utility bills immediately.  A chart which shows a hypothetical energy usage scenario can be adapted to the users own situation.  This new web utility can be found by clicking on the “Energy Savings Community” icon or visiting www.stacoenergy.com/financial-power-diet.htm. 

“Utilities across the country are adjusting their rates and applying power factor surcharges to companies who use power inefficiently” says Staco Power Factor Program Manager Rich Zuccaro.  “These web site enhancements are an easy-to-understand explanation of what power factor is and how companies can benefit by correcting it.  The scenarios shown are representative of situations we’ve seen, and can easily be adjusted to incorporate the customer’s actual data.”

In addition to discussions on power factor and its correction, this detailed section also includes links to regional energy solution provider partners, links to Staco solutions for varied power factor problems, as well as a “contact us” page for immediate assistance.
