We met this company in-person at the Texas Association of Campground Owners (TACO) Conference and were impressed with their product’s potential to help park owners lower utility costs and increase NOI.
At this year’s TACO Conference, our team had the opportunity to meet with the representatives from Peak Energy Technology, a company offering a practical and surprisingly affordable way to lower your park’s electric bills. They introduced us to the Peak Energy Saver, a plug-and-play device that can reduce wasted energy and improve electrical efficiency across your property—especially where you’re running multiple HVAC units, pumps, or refrigeration equipment.
For park owners looking to increase Net Operating Income (NOI) without raising rents or adding major infrastructure, this technology may be worth serious consideration.
What Is the Peak Energy Saver?
The Peak Energy Saver is a compact device installed near your main electrical panel that captures and reuses energy typically lost in motor-driven systems—like AC units, water pumps, pool equipment, and laundry machines. These types of “inductive loads” generate magnetic energy when they operate, and a portion of that energy is wasted when the equipment cycles off. The Peak Energy Saver recycles this energy back into the system, reducing your draw from the utility grid.
This technology is similar to power factor correction, a principle widely used in industrial settings to cut electricity costs and improve equipment performance.
How Does It Help Park Owners?
For mobile home and RV parks, electric bills often rank among the top three operating expenses. And in hotter climates or parks with high guest turnover, electricity use is even higher due to HVAC systems, hot water heaters, and well pumps.
The Peak Energy Saver:
- Reduces power waste from inductive loads
- Improves electrical efficiency across your site
- Lowers utility bills by 10–25% in many real-world cases
- Extends the life of motors and equipment by reducing heat
- Runs passively, with no maintenance once installed
It’s especially beneficial for properties with:
- Multiple HVAC systems (clubhouses, rental units, offices)
- Laundry and bathhouse facilities
- Pool and irrigation pumps
- EV chargers or high-draw 50-amp sites
What Does It Cost?
The standard Residential (Single Phase) Unit is priced around $495, plus $100–200 for any necessary add-ons (breaker, enclosure, etc.). For parks with 3-phase power or more complex electrical setups, commercial versions are also available—pricing is customized based on a usage review.
Installation is straightforward and typically takes under 30 minutes by a licensed electrician.
Every unit includes:
- A 90-day money-back guarantee
- A 5-year warranty
- An expected lifespan of 20 years
With savings typically between 10% and 25%, park owners often recover their upfront investment within 12–24 months.
What’s the Real-World Impact?
Let’s say your park spends $2,000/month on electricity. A conservative 15% reduction translates to $300/month saved, or $3,600 per year—from a one-time $500 investment.
Beyond the savings, reducing your monthly operating costs boosts your NOI, which in turn increases the value of your park if or when you go to sell. Lower expenses equal higher cash flow, and a higher sale price when calculated on a cap rate basis.
Why We Recommend This
After meeting Peak Energy Tech at TACO and reviewing their product in detail, we believe it’s a smart, low-risk way for many park owners to improve margins. It’s:
- Low-cost
- Easy to install
- Maintenance-free
- Backed by a warranty and guarantee
- Scalable across multiple buildings or sections of your park
Especially in today’s economic climate—where controlling expenses is just as important as growing revenue—technologies like this help park operators stay lean and competitive.
Next Steps
If you’re interested in learning more:
- Take inventory of your high-power electrical equipment.
- Reach out to your electrician to confirm compatibility.
- Track your electric bills before and after installation to verify savings.

Final Word
Not every NOI improvement needs to involve construction crews, rate increases, or major capital. The Peak Energy Saver is a low-cost, high-return option that can quietly deliver thousands in annual savings—while improving your park’s operating efficiency and long-term value.
