Pool VFD Saves 50% Energy Costs Without New Pump

When a Sacramento apartment complex was spending $800/month on pool electricity, we didn’t replace their pumps—we added Variable Frequency Drives for a fraction of the cost. Their bill dropped to $350/month. As a PG&E Certified Installer, I’ve seen VFDs cut residential pool costs by 40-70% while extending pump life. This “dimmer switch” for your pool pump might be the efficiency upgrade you’ve been looking for, especially if your pump is less than 5 years old.
