Have you ever actually measured Power Factor? What other tests have you done (or had done for you) on your AC line? Those are good first steps before choosing equipment to correct problems you may not even have. (And to be clear, I believe in power conditioning and use it in my system. Extensively. But not everyone beenfits to the same degree.)
Here's another thing about PF: You utility has every reason to keep it as close to 1 as possible, because a negative Power Factor increases cost of power distribution. So if you truly suffer from bad PF, you're likely to be able to work with the utility to resolve it.
You seem to be making some very broad assumptions which are simply wrong.That’s an interesting accusation but without an example it doesn’t mean anything.
I’m well acquainted with series-mode and parallel-mode surge suppressors/conditioners and their design differences.Good for you.
