recommendations
In parallel, from ADEERA they shared a series of recommendations to avoid excessive electricity consumption while the heat wave is taking place.
Here are the main ones:
Air-conditioning
Set it at 24°C: each extra degree represents 8% more consumption.
Clean the filters every 3 months so that the equipment does not consume more energy.
To preserve the temperature, keep the doors and windows closed.
Turn it off when leaving the room.
Television and other artifacts
Do not keep them on unnecessarily: they use up more energy and reduce their useful life.
Disconnect them when they are not used since they are still on standby even when they are turned off. It is estimated that up to 15% of household energy consumption can be produced by this function.
At the end of the charge, unplug the cell phone charger so that it does not produce unnecessary consumption. Lightning.
Use LED lamps: they consume 45% less than low consumption ones and last 7 times longer.
Paint the internal spaces of the house in light colors: thus, lower power lamps will be needed to illuminate them.
Do not leave lights on in unused spaces
Fridge and freezer
Verify that the door seals are in good condition to avoid cold losses.
Try to open it only when necessary and for as short a time as possible.
Do not put hot food in the fridge.
