Power Quality Surveys
Many businesses struggle with rising energy costs, inefficient power usage and limited electrical capacity. Without clear data, it is difficult to know where energy is being wasted or whether your existing supply can support future growth.
Our Power Quality Surveys provide detailed insight into how your electrical supply is being used, enabling you to reduce energy bills, improve sustainability and check you have the capacity to support new buildings or equipment on site.

Our Approach
1. Assess your requirements
We assess your installation and agree the most appropriate monitoring period, based on how your building is used and what you want to achieve.
2. Install monitoring equipment
Data loggers are installed on your incoming electrical supply to monitor how your power is used. This is non-intrusive and does not interrupt your operations.
3. Monitor and collect data
Your power usage is recorded over an agreed period to capture demand patterns, inefficiencies and periods of low or unnecessary usage.
4. Analyse and report
We analyse the data and provide a clear report outlining key findings, including energy usage, efficiency and available capacity.
5. Recommend next steps
We provide practical recommendations based on your objectives, whether that is reducing costs, improving efficiency or planning for future demand.
6. Implement improvements
Where required, we can carry out recommended improvements, helping you reduce energy waste and improve performance.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a power quality survey?
A power quality survey involves installing monitoring equipment on your incoming electrical supply to track how your electricity is used over a set period. The data is then analysed to identify usage patterns, inefficiencies and available capacity.
Why are power quality surveys important?
Without accurate data, it is difficult to understand how your electricity is being used. A power quality survey helps identify wasted energy, reduce costs and determine whether your electrical supply can support future demand.
Will the survey cause any disruption?
No. The survey is non-intrusive and does not interrupt your power supply or day-to-day operations.
How long does a power quality survey take?
The monitoring period typically lasts two to three weeks, depending on your requirements. This allows enough data to be collected to accurately assess usage patterns and peak demand.
What happens after the survey is completed?
Once the monitoring period is complete, the data is analysed and presented in a report with clear findings and recommendations. If required, Pattco can also carry out further investigation or implement improvements.
Can you carry out the recommended work?
Yes. Pattco can support you beyond the survey by carrying out recommended improvements, such as efficiency upgrades or remedial work, if required.
How much does a power quality survey cost?
The cost of a survey depends on the size and complexity of your installation and the length of monitoring required. Any further investigation or improvement work is quoted separately.
How often should a power quality survey be carried out?
Most businesses only need a survey once, unless there are significant changes to the building, electrical installation or usage. Additional surveys may be useful in different seasons to compare demand, such as heating in winter or cooling in summer.
