1HP VFD Price in the Philippines: What Drives the Quote

JOHOB does not publish a single fixed price for 1HP VFD panels because the final cost depends on how the panel is built, not just the motor size it controls. A 1HP panel built for a simple transfer pump with a basic enclosure costs differently from a 1HP panel built for a jockey pump application that needs a sealed enclosure and remote monitoring wiring. Quoting instead of listing one number lets JOHOB match the panel to the actual installation rather than selling a generic unit that may not fit the site conditions. Buyers who submit motor nameplate details, the installation environment, and the control features they need receive a firm quote within 1 business day of their request. This request-for-quote approach is standard across JOHOB's electrical panel line and is not specific to 1HP units. It applies the same lead time structure and VAT handling that JOHOB uses across its other VFD panel sizes, so a 1HP buyer gets the same turnaround commitment as a buyer sourcing a larger duplex or triplex configuration.

Four factors move a 1HP VFD panel quote up or down. Enclosure rating is the first: a basic indoor enclosure costs less than a sealed enclosure built for an outdoor or wash-down environment. Certification documentation scope is the second: a quote that only needs to confirm CE marking costs less to prepare than one that also needs full ISO 9001 and TUV SUD test documentation bundled for a client's internal compliance file. Configuration is the third: a standalone 1HP VFD panel is simpler to quote than one integrated into an existing control panel alongside other switchgear, since integration adds wiring and compatibility checks. Order quantity and site count is the fourth: a single 1HP panel for one site is priced differently from the same panel ordered across multiple sites, where JOHOB can consolidate lead time and shipping. None of these factors are unique to the 1HP size, but a 1HP buyer should expect the fastest quote turnaround of any panel size JOHOB supplies, since the unit itself is JOHOB's simplest standard configuration.

Every VFD panel JOHOB supplies, including the 1HP size, carries the same certification baseline regardless of horsepower rating. Panels carry CE marking for electrical compliance, are built by an ISO 9001 certified partner factory, and are TUV SUD tested. These are not optional add-ons priced separately. They are the standard JOHOB applies across its electrical panel category, which also covers SDE, star-delta, and MCC panels. A buyer asking for a 1HP VFD quote does not need to request certification separately or pay a premium to get documentation that matches these standards. What does change the quote is how much of that documentation a buyer needs packaged and delivered, for example a full compliance file for an internal audit versus a basic certificate of conformance for a straightforward installation. Buyers working inside a PEZA, SBMA, or Clark zone, or supplying a regulated facility, should flag their documentation needs at RFQ stage so JOHOB can quote the correct paperwork scope alongside the panel itself.

Standard VAT-registered buyers pay 12 percent VAT on a 1HP VFD panel order. Buyers operating as PEZA or SBMA locators, or qualifying exporters, are zero-rated and should state their registration status at RFQ stage so the quote reflects the correct VAT treatment from the start rather than needing revision later. On lead time, 1HP VFD panels built from standard stock configurations ship in 21 to 35 days. Panels that need a non-standard enclosure, custom wiring, or documentation outside JOHOB's standard package fall under the made-to-order timeline of 45 to 90 days. Every RFQ for a 1HP VFD panel gets a response within 1 business day, whether the final quote turns out to be a stock configuration or a made-to-order build. This response commitment is the same across JOHOB's full panel range and is not a faster promise reserved for smaller units, so a 1HP buyer and a buyer sourcing a 15HP duplex booster panel both get the same 1-business-day acknowledgment.

JOHOB supplies 1HP VFD panels nationwide, covering NCR, the rest of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, including sites operating inside PEZA, SBMA, or Clark economic zones. Lead time and VAT handling do not change by region. A buyer in a Visayas or Mindanao facility works through the same 1-business-day RFQ response and the same 21 to 35 day stock or 45 to 90 day made-to-order timeline as a buyer in Metro Manila. For buyers supplying multiple sites across different regions, the same RFQ can be used to request a consolidated quote covering all locations, which lets JOHOB align delivery scheduling across sites rather than processing each location as a separate, disconnected order. This nationwide coverage applies to the 1HP VFD panel on its own as well as to the broader pumping and pressure systems category it typically supports, including booster, transfer, and submersible pump installations that rely on a VFD panel for speed control.

An accurate 1HP VFD quote starts with four pieces of information. First, the motor nameplate details, including rated voltage, current, and horsepower, confirm the panel is correctly matched to the motor it will control. Second, the duty cycle, meaning how often and how long the pump runs, affects enclosure and component selection. Third, the installation environment, whether indoor, outdoor, or exposed to moisture or dust, determines the enclosure rating needed. Fourth, VAT registration status, including PEZA or SBMA locator status if applicable, ensures the quote reflects the correct tax treatment from the first response rather than requiring a revision. Buyers who provide all four points up front typically receive a complete, ready-to-approve quote within the standard 1-business-day RFQ response window, with no back-and-forth needed to fill gaps. Buyers who are unsure of any of these details can still submit an RFQ and JOHOB will follow up with the specific questions needed to finalize the quote.
