Power Factor Correction Servicing

Service and repair your Power Factor Correction to protect your equipment and ensure your PFC is operating at its maximum efficiency.

Power Factor Correction units are technical equipment that houses intricate electrical components that are designed to reduce the maximum demand. Over time, the electrical components may deteriorate, and dust will gather in the unit. This will result in a decline in your PFC unit’s performance and lifespan. Keep your PFC unit performing at its optimal condition by making an appointment with our team for routine maintenance.

Why Service a Power Factor Correction Unit? 

All PFC units contain complex electrical components that work together to reduce kVA and, in turn, improve your energy efficiency. Like any piece of equipment, regular maintenance is essential to ensure optimal performance levels are maintained, and the system is doing the job it was installed to do. 


If neglected, the components in your PFC unit may malfunction. Dust and debris may also gather in the unit, which will become a hazard.

Our team was called out to inspect this Power Factor Correction Unit in a shopping centre. Upon inspection, we noticed the unit could no longer be salvaged.


Not only would the management be experiencing a spike in their electricity bill, but it is also a fire hazard that can potentially damage the property and endanger lives.


Quality Energy has over 30 years’ experience servicing PFC systems. In addition to our own, bespoke built PFC units, we can service any existing units made by other manufacturers.

  • Testimonial from Rupe Virk, Head of Projects Jalplas

    In early 2020 our site in Thomastown was experiencing power quality issues that was affecting our critical manufacturing equipment. After contacting Quality Energy and having them conduct a Power Quality study, it was determined we required a 200A Active Harmonic Filter to help eliminate our harmonic pollution and protect our entire infostructure. Quality Energy designed, installed and now maintain our Active Harmonic Filter and we have had a clean bill of health since the installation took place.

  • Testimonial from Chris James, Kurv Living

    In June 2020, Kurv Living were faced with several power outages due to the quality of the power entering our manufacturing facility. After completing extensive Power Quality diagnostics, Quality Energy determined that we had high harmonic levels that were causing our critical machinery to shut down. Quality Energy then installed a 200Amp Active Harmonic Filter in September of the same year and we haven’t had any issues since.
