Summer together with winter are the seasons in which more consumption of Energy It exists because of the extreme temperatures of heat and cold respectively. saving is required Energy to help the environment, no matter how small the impact of each user, since consumption is concentrated in the industry; as well as to receive moderate electricity bills, even more so with the gradual removal of subsidies.
In turn, to avoid power outages due to overloading of the electrical network in each district, it is advisable to carry out the following tasks or changes in habits and thus reduce the cost of electricity rates: Energy. In the first place, it is recommended to change the classic lighting to low consumption, which constitutes a saving of between 50 and 75% of electricityIn addition, these products have a longer shelf life.
One of the appliances that most Energy electrical consumption is the washing machine configured in hot wash, since the process of heating large amounts of water used by the appliance requires a high energy demand, therefore It is recommended to fill the washing machine to the top and run a cold wash if stain removal is not required.
For years, air conditioning has accompanied the homes of those who, in addition to being able to acquire equipment, want to regulate the temperature of the rooms in the house. The most current have energy consumption much less for the same benefit, which makes them more efficient, even being able to choose that the device heats the air instead of cooling it. It is recommended to set the air conditioning at 24° Celsius, since each degree less increases consumption by 7%.
Another recommendation is to defrost the freezer which is incorporated in refrigerators as well as in purely freezing equipment, since over time these form crusts of ice that function as insulators, which increases energy expenditure by at least 20%. The layers of ice must be removed, according to the instructions in the manual corresponding to the appliance.
