Been meaning to ask you all this for a while now, but just now getting around to it. I ran across the KVAR unit online and did a lot of reading up on it... but to be honest, I don't understand it one damn bit at all. It's like reading Chinese, and I can't read Chinese. I understand watts and volts and current, but what the hell is a power factor and how the heck does it affect my power bill? Anyway, rant over. So seriously, from what I understand it only affects motor driven appliances when they first start up, right? So how much effect could that possibly have on a residential power bill?
