<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Exactly. That's why I always have a
load profile for each system on file, and as soon as they're doing
something different, we're off the hook. It opens the door
smoothly towards upgrading the system for their new loads. And
yes a new load profile, until they add even more in 5 years. <br>

<div>On these small projects, its very important to nail
down the exact load, to keep the pricing sane. I list
on the estimate what the system is designed to do; for
instance 18 w load 24 hrs/ day. Then if something
goes wrong and they are running more than they should
you just gently point out that that was not what the
system was designed to do.<br>
I learned a long time ago, that you can't take name
plate power draw numbers, or count on the manufacturer
to provide those numbers; you've got to confirm it
with your own monitoring equipment.<br>
