About Dr. Jesse LaPrade Expertise I can answer questions about electrical energy saving features that can be incorporated into present electrical distribution systems. most of these features are purely science based and deal with the elemination of waste inherent in all distribution systems. Natural losses range between 15 and 45 Percent of the total electrical bill and energy use. There is an art involved in the total and integrated treatment of the many different electrical loads encountered in the many different distribution systems.
Experience I am a certified electrical energy consultant, and operate my own company which is Energy Saving Concepts Organization. LLC & ESCO. I am a dealer for Energy Automation Systems Inc. also known as EASI, located in Hendersonville TN. EASI has installed over 80,000 successful energy improvement projects worldwide.

Question -
Dear Dr.Jesse LaPrade
Sometimes I hear from NEWS about saving electricity power. I would like to know how is it possible to save alternative electricity.
Best regards
Answer -
I do not know what you mean by "alternative electricity"?
Are you referring to alternating current circuits? That is what is in our homes and offices that come from the electric companies.
Please respond.
Yes exactly. As you mentioned I mean alternating current circuits.
Thank you
Answer There are several ways to make A.C. power circuits more efficient:
1. Cycle loads, thus reducing power use and reducing peak energy.
2. Use more efficient electrical equipment such as compressors used in cooling equipment and more efficient electrical motors ie those built to closer tolerances, distance between permanent and electromagnets, and reducing current shifts ie reducing dramatic current swings using power limiters.
3. Reduce harmonics if found to be present.
The ways of reducing power consumption above are expensive. Everyone can reduce energy use by using a lower thermostat setting during cold months and a higher setting in warm months, although it may not be as confortable. New homes that are more energy efficient use more insulation and builders are building tighter homes to reduce energy consumption. There are no easy and cheep fixes to this need. There are several hoaxes offered in the market place. Please carefully evaluate any that you hear about. If it sounds too good to be true, it may well be.
