The OHM ENERGY GUARDIAN™
Q: Where is this equipment manufactured?
A: The OHM ENERGY GUARDIAN™ is manufactured in California, with all systems integrated into one secure cabinet.
Q: Can I order my OHM ENERGY GUARDIAN™ online?
A: All units are custom-built to specifically meet the needs of your facility – one size does not fit all. Therefore, units cannot be ordered online. Your facility's power usage and quality are evaluated to determine the best solution to your facilitiy's unique power challenges.
Q: How does the installation process work?
A: The specific power usage of your business determines which OHM ENERGY GUARDIAN™ unit(s) should be installed. It will be installed in a way that targets your largest loads, optimizing your return on investment. Once your order is placed, manufacturing will take approximately 6 weeks. Upon receiving your unit(s), we will contact you to schedule a time to have a licensed electrician perform installation. Installation times vary depending on your facility. An OHM ENERGY GUARDIAN™ installation may take 1 - 2 days, depending on any needed site preparations.
Q: How many OHM ENERGY GUARDIAN™ units do I need?
A: The number of units needed is dependent on your unique power usage and setup. A power quality evaluation will determine how many are needed, as well as the sizes needed.
Q: Does this equipment come with a warranty?
A: An industry-leading comprehensive 5 year parts and service warranty comes standard with the OHM ENERGY GUARDIAN™. This includes annual inspections and certification of each OHM ENERGY GUARDIAN™, to ensure proper function and performance specifications.
Q: What is the typical payback period?
A: Many customers are experiencing an average payback period of 24 months or less through energy bill savings alone. Energized equipment life is also extended, resulting in additional savings through deferred maintenance and replacement costs. Every site is unique in its payback depending on your area's energy prices, utility demand charges, and required sizes and number of units needed to correct the site's power quality problems. Knowing your OHM ENERGY GUARDIAN™ is under a complete warranty and annual certification program that exceeds the break-even point, plus knowing your equipment will be saving and even making you money in excess of 20 years, it's easy to see this is a smart business move.
Q: Is it good for the environment?
A: Definitely! All forms of electricity have an environmental impact. In many countries a significant percentage of electricity is still generated from fossil fuels. The OHM ENERGY GUARDIAN™ lowers energy consumption and recycles power commonly lost to the ground back into your system. A reduction in your energy demand results in a reduction of fossil fuels, and reduced carbon emissions.
Q: I have photovoltaic panels. Can I benefit from the OHM ENERGY GUARDIAN™?
A: Yes. The OHM ENERGY GUARDIAN™ causes everything to run more efficiently. When the motors on your property (A/C, pumps, refrigeration, conveyors, compressors, generators) are more efficient, they will require less energy from your photovoltaic system. If you are selling electricity back to the power company, that means more dollars in your pocket.
Q: Will Variable Frequency Drives cause any problems?
A: No problem. We will work with you to understand where your VFDs are located (directly on the motors or Motor Control Center) and determine the best installation configuration.
Q: What type of maintenance does the OHM ENERGY GUARDIAN™ require?
A: The OHM ENERGY GUARDIAN™ comes standard with a 5 year parts and service warranty, which includes annual inspection and certification through the 6th year. The annual certification program may be extended if desired.
The OHM ENERGY GUARDIAN™ does not require any routine maintenance, as there are no moving parts, and the cooling system is self-contained. Just check the exterior indicator lights from time to time, or after an electrical storm, to make sure the surge protector is still intact. If an indicator light has gone out, just log in to Ohm Energy Technologies' warranty page for service dispatch.
Q: Is it safe?
A: Yes. All components are UL Listed or in compliance with industry standard certifications. UL is a global independent safety science company with more than a century of expertise innovating safety solutions from the public adoption of electricity to new breakthroughs in sustainability, renewable energy and nanotechnology. The OHM ENERGY GUARDIAN™ also increases safety wherever it is installed, by reducing heat in electrical lines and equipment, and protecting against damaging power surges. Check with your commercial insurance provider about potential premium reductions for OHM ENERGY GUARDIAN™ installations.
Q: When can I expect to see savings on my utility bill?
A: You’ll experience the benefits of the OHM ENERGY GUARDIAN™ as soon as it is turned on. Built-in surge protection safeguards your expensive electronics while stabilized voltage allows your machinery to run smoother and more efficiently. Amperage reductions reduce heat and strain on motors. The net KVA and KVAR reductions translate to less electricity demand from the utility -- that's less kWh on your bill.
Utility billing cycles typically range from 25 – 35 days. Although the equipment will begin saving you money by recycling energy back into your system immediately, depending on which point during your billing cycle your unit was installed full savings may not be realized for three months. Also, "demand charges" imposed upon some businesses and industries by utility companies should be re-evaluated after installation, so the maximum savings are realized.
Q: If I change locations, can I take my OHM ENERGY GUARDIAN™ with me?
A: Yes. A licensed electrician can remove the unit and install it at your new location. If your electrical needs change, a different sized unit may be advised to maximize your energy savings.
