My electrician is a "distributor" for this product. The website seems official, but yet, I am skeptical as I see nothing about a patent or patent pending. Also, no customer testimonies either. Anyone have knowledge or understand if this device really makes sense?
Thanks!

The only way this device will save you money is if your electric utility bills you in kVA, or has a penalty for poor power factors.
Most (but not all) utilities in the US bill in kW and kWh. For customers in those locations, this device will not save them money.

They are just marketing power factor correction capacitors. This will have very little to no benefit as far as your electric bill goes since your power meter probably just measures current, not actual power. But it's a standard practice for industrial sites to use capacitors to balance out the reactive power of their motors using capacitors, to try to come close to PF = 1, so there is real science behind the system.

I don't see anything about how it works or any actual examples. If it sounds too good to be true...it probably is.
