FAQs
What do you mean by an “efficient electrical system” and why is it important?
An efficient electrical system is a design that delivers the required power while minimising energy waste, heat losses, and maintenance costs. It typically incorporates high-efficiency conductors, transformers, lighting, controls, and smart monitoring. For building owners, this translates into lower utility bills, a smaller carbon footprint, longer equipment life, and adherence to increasingly strict energy regulations.
Can Petros upgrade my existing installation or do I need a complete re-wire?
In most cases a full re-wire is not necessary. Petros begins with a detailed energy audit to locate the largest sources of electrical loss. We then propose targeted retrofits—such as LED lighting conversions, variable-frequency drives, high-efficiency transformers, and power-factor correction—that integrate with your current infrastructure. This approach keeps downtime and capital expenditure to a minimum while still delivering substantial energy savings.
What specific technologies do you use to boost energy efficiency?
Typical solutions include: • LED and high-bay induction lighting with occupancy/daylight sensors • Variable-frequency drives (VFDs) for pumps, fans, and compressors • High-efficiency dry-type or cast-coil transformers • Smart panels and submeters for real-time load monitoring • Power-factor correction capacitors or active harmonic filters • Advanced Building Management Systems (BMS) that optimise schedules and automatically shed non-critical loads during peak tariffs.
How much can intelligent lighting controls really save?
Lighting often accounts for 20–40 % of a building’s electricity use. By combining high-efficiency luminaires with occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting, time-clock scheduling, and dimming, savings of 50–75 % are common. Beyond energy reduction, these controls extend lamp life, reduce cooling loads (because less heat is emitted), and improve occupant comfort through better light quality.
Which standards and certifications guide your design and installation work?
Petros engineers adhere to IEC, IEEE, and local NEC/NFPA codes for safety and performance. For sustainability, we reference ISO 50001 (Energy Management), ASHRAE 90.1 (Energy Standard for Buildings), and the IES Lighting Handbook. Projects can be tailored to help clients achieve LEED, BREEAM, or NABERS ratings, and all major components carry CE, UL, or equivalent approval marks.
What return on investment (ROI) can I expect and how is it calculated?
Typical electrical efficiency upgrades deliver ROIs of 20–35 % with payback periods ranging from 2 to 5 years, depending on project scope and local energy tariffs. We calculate ROI using measured baseline consumption, projected post-upgrade usage, installed cost, and any utility rebates or tax incentives. You receive a transparent savings report and access to our monitoring platform so you can verify that the system is performing as promised.
