I would look into power factor correction first.

Are you sure you want to mess with your power company based on some
dubious claim from some website that this is "legal"?

The Power Companies take theft of service very seriously and rest
assured that if you device does what it claims to do, you could set
yourself up for serious problems. At the very least, they can afford
better lawyers then you.


Power correction factor is different. It can be done inside, after the meter
and is perfectly legal. I don't know if it is a viable option for
residential, but for industrial use, there are savings to be had.
