HarmoniQ cleans the electrical current flowing through your network — eliminating harmonic distortion, reactive current, and phase imbalance at the source. With clean current, your equipment draws less electricity to do the same work. The energy that would have been wasted as heat in cables, motors, and transformers is simply never consumed. Unlike conventional power factor correction that only masks the problem at the meter, HarmoniQ corrects the current throughout your entire network.

Traditional capacitor banks correct power factor at the incoming feed — the meter point. This avoids utility penalties, but the dirty current still flows through every cable, motor, and transformer inside the network. Your equipment still draws distorted, reactive, unbalanced current — still wastes energy, still overheats, still ages prematurely. The meter looks better; the network does not.

HarmoniQ works across your entire network instead, with units where the waste starts, so the current your cables, motors and transformers carry is cleaner: less of it, and running cooler. That is what delivers 10–20% fewer kilowatt-hours and 2–4× longer equipment life, which correction at the meter alone cannot, and it does so without adding the resonance risk a capacitor bank brings.

No. HarmoniQ has no voltage setpoint and never sits in the supply path, so it does not lower or regulate the voltage your site receives. It removes the waste current instead. Because less current then flows through your cables and transformers, there is less voltage drop across them, and the voltage at your boards varies less as a side effect. What voltage optimisation does, and what HarmoniQ does instead.

Yes. The core technology behind HarmoniQ's hardware is protected by a granted US patent.

HarmoniQ works with sub-600 V AC equipment — induction motors, variable speed drives, compressors, pumps and fans, HVAC chillers and air handling units, and lighting systems, on three-phase networks, including their single-phase loads. DC loads, such as server compute, rectifiers and battery charging, are not addressable.

Yes, at manufacturer level. HarmoniQ equipment is CE marked under the EU Declaration of Conformity, evaluated by Intertek to UL 810 and CSA C22.2 No. 190, and EMC tested by accredited third-party laboratories, with a Pass result. It is designed to meet or enable compliance with IEEE 519-2022, IEEE 1459, IEEE C57.110, IEC 61000 and ISO 50015.

HarmoniQ is shunt-connected: it sits alongside your supply rather than in it, and carries none of your facility's load. If a unit is ever taken offline, for service or for any other reason, your facility keeps running normally. You simply return to the power quality and consumption you had before installation. Nothing in your plant runs through it.

Heat is what ages insulation. By the Arrhenius rule behind IEEE's insulation-ageing standards, every 10 °C of excess operating temperature roughly halves insulation life. Run 10 °C cooler and that life roughly doubles; run 20 °C cooler and it roughly quadruples. HarmoniQ removes the waste current that heats motors and transformers, and that is where its 2–4× extension of downstream equipment life comes from.

HarmoniQ is installed in parallel on the line side of your electrical network via spare breakers or fuse disconnects — meaning your operations continue uninterrupted throughout the entire process. Installation takes as little as 1 day for a single unit to 2 weeks for complex multi-panel sites. No rewiring or modifications to your existing equipment are required. Our engineers handle the full installation and commissioning.

Following a site assessment and agreement, most installations are completed within 1–2 weeks. This includes equipment configuration and on-site commissioning. Simpler sites can be installed in as little as a single day. Larger or more complex multi-panel installations may take longer depending on site access and coordination requirements.

Yes. HarmoniQ data can flow into the BMS, SCADA and energy management systems you already use, over standard industrial protocols such as Modbus. The HarmoniQ Intelligence Platform adds live power-quality monitoring and savings reporting on top; version 2 is in development.

Very little, and it fits your existing maintenance schedule. HarmoniQ hardware is built for continuous 24/7 duty, and routine care is light: a regular look and listen, keeping cooling-fan grilles clean, periodic terminal inspections, and an annual check of power factor and THD against the commissioning baseline. Cooling fans are the main wear part, replaced at the end of their design life. Annual inspection visits are recommended and included in service agreements.

Savings are measured against a baseline established during the pre-installation site assessment. We measure actual energy consumption (kWh), power factor, peak demand, and utility penalties before and after installation, using industry-standard power analysers. The headline 10–20% is the reduction in energy consumed, measured in kWh at the meter, which is also what our minimum performance guarantee is written against.

Where a site also pays power-factor penalties and capacity charges, the penalties are eliminated and the capacity charges come down, so with all three lines the total bill falls by up to 25%. The range of 10–20% reflects the variation across different site types — facilities with worse starting power quality see higher savings. The methodology follows the IPMVP, ASHRAE Guideline 14 and ISO 50015 frameworks.

Power factor and harmonic improvements are immediate and measurable from the moment the system is commissioned — you can see them live on the day of installation. The financial savings show up on your next utility bill. Equipment temperature reductions are typically observed within the first week of operation.

We start with a site assessment: our engineers analyse your electrical network and quantify the exact savings opportunity for your facility. Every installation is then backed by a minimum performance guarantee, written against kWh measured at the meter — not against your bill, which moves with tariffs, penalties and capacity charges outside our control. If the equipment doesn't deliver the agreed kWh saving, you don't pay. Post-installation performance is measured against a weather-normalised metered baseline.

Yes. The energy reduction HarmoniQ delivers directly reduces your Scope 2 (purchased electricity) emissions. Because the saving is metered in kWh, the CO₂ avoided follows directly from the grid emission factor for your location, in a form suited to sustainability reports, ESG disclosures and ISO 50001 energy management systems.

You can purchase HarmoniQ outright — a one-time capital investment that delivers the full lifetime of savings directly to the bottom line. Where CapEx isn't the right fit, we can structure a managed-service arrangement funded from the savings the equipment generates. We work with you to find the structure that best fits your capital allocation preferences and financial objectives.

The economics work best for facilities spending $500,000 or more a year on electricity. For sites below this threshold, the savings are still real but the unit economics of deployment may not be as compelling. Contact us and we'll give you an honest assessment of whether HarmoniQ makes sense for your site.

Yes. We work across Europe, the Middle East and North America, and our equipment is designed and rated for both 50 Hz and 60 Hz electrical systems. International projects are delivered through our regional partners and our in-house international operations team.
