Get real insights into your energy use with Volt.

 How does Volt work 

 and why should you use it? 

Many businesses are unaware that they might be receiving more voltage than necessary, leading to wasted energy and higher electricity bills. This excess voltage doesn’t improve performance - it simply adds unnecessary strain on your equipment, causing wear and tear, while driving up costs.

That’s where Volt comes in. Volt is designed to give you a clear picture of the voltage being supplied to your business. By understanding whether your equipment is getting more power than it needs, you can make informed decisions about optimising your energy use.

 What is Voltage 

 Optimisation? 

Voltage optimisation is a way of managing the electrical power supplied to your building, ensuring that your equipment only uses the voltage it needs to run efficiently. Many UK businesses receive more voltage than necessary - often over 240 volts, even though most appliances only need around 220 volts.

This extra voltage leads to wasted energy and unnecessary strain on your equipment, increasing your electricity bills. Voltage optimisation reduces the incoming voltage to the ideal level for your machinery, helping to lower energy consumption and extend the life of your equipment.

 Benefits of Voltage 

 Optimisation 

Lower energy bills:

On average, businesses save 6.5% on energy costs, with some seeing reductions of up to 19%. These savings can be reinvested back into your business.

Longer equipment lifespan:

Reducing the voltage supplied to your equipment means less wear and tear, leading to fewer breakdowns and a longer life for your machinery or equipment.

Sustainability gains:

By using less energy, your business reduces its carbon footprint, helping you meet environmental goals and enhance your corporate responsibility.

Minimal maintenance:

Voltage optimisation systems are often “fit-and-forget” -once installed, they work in the background, requiring little to no ongoing attention.

Step 1:

Plug the Volt device in and switch it on.

Step 2:

Press the function button until you see a 'V' appear

Step 3:

Note down the voltage reading and switch off the plug.

Step 4:

Repeat steps 1-3 in three different sockets across your building to get a full picture of your incoming voltage.

This gives you an average reading and ensures you capture accurate data.

The results:

If the readings show that your equipment is getting more power than It needs, voltage optimisation might be the right solution for your business.

How do I use Volt?

To get the most accurate reading, plug your Volt device into three different sockets across your building. This helps measure the average voltage you’re receiving. Once you’ve recorded your readings, you can send them to our team for further advice.

Why do I need to take readings from three different plugs?

Voltage levels can vary slightly between different areas of your building. Taking readings from three different plugs provides a more accurate average, ensuring you get a true picture of the overall voltage being supplied to your business.

Is Volt really free?

Yes, Volt is completely free. It’s our way of helping businesses understand their energy usage and see if voltage optimisation could help reduce costs.

What happens after I measure my voltage?

If your voltage readings show that you’re receiving more power than necessary, our team can guide you through the next steps. You can submit your readings to us, and we’ll advise whether voltage optimisation is a suitable solution for your business.

How long will it take to see a return on investment?

Most businesses typically see a full return on investment from voltage optimisation within 18 months. After that, the energy savings continue to benefit your bottom line.
