I bet if I clicked that check availability button (I won't, I know it's a scam), it would take me to a timed sales page to pressure you to buy with an upsell for other scam products soon afterward.
Disgruntled or ex-employee, a secret the energy companies don't want you to know about, a modicome of truth sprinkled in (power factor is a thing that exists) to make it believable if anyone were to research, the rest being AI generated lies, customer testimonies completely made up, fake Facebook comments section, fake tech blog that changes its name in the article. The whole thing screams scam but if you know their techniques, you can avoid getting scammed elsewhere.
Over on YouTube, the Computer Clan has gone through the steps they take to scam people and Big Clive opens them up to show how they scam you.

There is a possibility that a capacitor across the mains could smooth out a noisy signal, but that won't save you any money, not a penny.0
