We sold one unit and installed another EcoQuest Powerworx in our own home. Per Mr. Irwin's verbal assurance the EcoQuest Powerworx unit would lower electric consumption by a minimum of 8%. After installation our own electric consuption was UP, and the unit we paid to have installed in another home was up also. When the customer did not want the unit and their money back I called the company to return the unit. I was told to resell the Powerworx, it was the selling distributors responsibiblty! I asked why would I want to resell it when it did not work the first time? Then I contacted Mr. Irwin who told me two things.
1) The units are 100% unconditionally guaranteed
2) He would move the unit, as he was selling lot's of them.
We have been expecting his help from what he said for almost a month now. Guess what, he never has called.
After repeated requests from, April 9 - July 9, for a written warranty concerning the EcoQuest PowerWorx, I did get a copy of the warranty. After many attempts to comunicate with Mr. Irwin, he did answer one E mail and take my call to say he would get back with me. As of this moment he has not followed up. He said he attends church and has many of his informational meetings at a church in Edinboro. I would caution anyone who is considering the PowerWorx unit.
So many companies seem to have great products and then some of the people who rep those products are less than what you hope for. The lady that wanted her money back got it. We paid her back every cent she spent for the unit. But as of this moment we have not been able to get any help or relief.
Mr. Irwin called and stopped several times over the past 90 days until we had a question on the real numbers from the electric bill. When it came time for basic good business support our experiance was zero. r

I am in the process of trying to get my money back

Hi Randy,
I would really like to talk to you. I became a dealer for Ecoquest in order to sell the Powerworx devise. I bought a lot of the product so that I could sell it. Then I found all kinds of negitive information about this technology. This information came from very respectable sources. I am currently trying to get my money back from Ecoquest on all the product that I bought from them. I will keep you informed on how it goes.
What I want to know from you is.....
1. Did you ever get your money back ?
2. Did Ecoquest ever threaten you in any way for writing a rip off report ?

The PowerWorx Clean Power Systems (CPS) unit manufactured by Continental Power Corporation, is a power-conditioning device that provides power factor correction, noise filtration, and surge and spike protection to inductive AC power systems. The units are produced for applications ranging from 600-volt three-phase units to 120-volt single-phase residential units.
The Technology
PowerWorx representative Elliott McCoy explains how the technology works: "There are three major electrical efforts taking place inside the Powerworx CPS unit. One is noise filtration and harmonics dampening through capacitors, inductors, and filter circuits. The second is surge protection via metal oxide varistors and capacitors, and last is power factor correction through the use of proven technologies integrated into a single device."
PowerWorx CPS provides both power conditioning and power factor correction. Power conditioning provides cleaner power, while power factor correction makes power utilization more effective. As a power conditioning device, the CPS is designed to eliminate unwanted bumps and spikes and protect against voltage "transients," generally smoothing out the power, while also adjusting the phase of power to help inductive load machinery run more efficiently.
Performance Test Results
The PowerWorx CPS unit was tested on a 100-hp motor by the Motor Systems Resource Facility, a designated ERPI/Bonneville Power Administration Center at Oregon State University. Power system measurements were obtained from lab tests for a range of typical load conditions, with and without the CPS in operation. Dr. Alan K. Wallace, OSU, led the testing effort.
The tests performed by the Motor Systems Resource Facility on the PowerWorx PCS applied to a 100-horsepower motor provided the following results:
power factor was improved from 88% to 96% at full load and from 62% to 97% at 25% partial load
electric currents were reduced from 115.2 amps to 105.0 amps at full load and from 41.5 amps to 26.6 amps at 25% partial load
power supplied (kW) was reduced from 80.77 kW to 80.54 kW at full load and was increased from 20.57 kW to 20.62 kW at 25% partial load.
According to the Motor Systems Resource Facility test, correct use of the PowerWorx CPS units should yield the following benefits to industrial power users and utilities:
reduction of power factor penalties in the utility bill
improved power distribution equipment life
improved voltage stability to other equipment
improved electrical capacity of the facility.
