According to Gunner <gunner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:

How much will that increase my already exceedenly high bill?

It *should* actually *cut* the bill slightly -- proportional to
the drop in output voltage -- neglecting losses in the transformers,
which should not add up to nearly as much.

No it won't. Assuming the VFD regulates it's output voltage, it would
act as a constant HP load for a given demand from his equipment, and
the losses in the buck transformers will only add to that.
