What I measure
- Power on each phase, with the 15-minute peaks the meter records.
- Imbalance between phases in three-phase installations.
- Power factor and reactive consumption.
- Consumption by time band and by device, to fit the tariff and schedules.
A real case
A commercial unit with 14.5 kW contracted had a real peak of 8.8 kW over a whole year. Lowering it to 10 kW saves about €270 a year on the power charge alone, with margin for peaks.
What you get
A report with charts, the recommended power, proposed schedules for each device and the saving from each change. If the contracted power should change, I explain how to request it from your supplier.
Call-out price before I set off. Fixed quote before any repair.
I work with measurements: power analyser, insulation tester up to 1000 V, leakage clamp and thermal camera. What I find, you get in writing.
Frequently asked questions
Can I lower the power safely?
Yes, if it's calculated from real data with a margin. Set too low, the limiter cuts out when several appliances run together, which is why I measure first.
Do I need to be at home?
Only to install and remove the equipment. It records on its own.
Is it useful for communities and businesses?
Yes. The higher the contracted power, the bigger the saving usually is.
Other services
Emergencies and repairs
Emergency electrician
No power at home, an RCD that won't reset, a burning smell at the consumer unit. I locate the fault and make the installation safe.
Faults and RCD tripping
RCD tripping in the rain, earth leakage, circuits failing section by section. I find the cause by measuring, without opening walls.
Installation
Electrical installations
Installations and renovations in homes, villas, offices and shops: consumer units, new circuits, lighting and power upgrades.

Pool pump, water heater and irrigation running in the cheapest hours of your tariff, with properly installed timers and contactors.
Analysis, quotes and projects
Power quality
Flicker, equipment resetting, solar inverters disconnecting. I record sags, surges and harmonics to tell whether the problem is in your home or in the grid.
Installation check
What you have, what the risks are and what to do first: a check with measurements for owners, and before buying or renting.
Quotes and technical reports
Quotes with current material and labour prices, electrical calculations and technical design reports.
