One of the key factors in the electricity bill is the power that is contracted, since it directly influences the final price. However, not all consumers know what power they are paying for, and it may be too much or too little for the size of the house.
Many consumers do not know how many kW they have contracted in their home, especially those who live in a rented house in which there was already an electricity contract made before. Therefore, it is important to check the power of the tariff and if it is adequate.
A large house where the leads jump constantly may have insufficient contracted power, while a smaller home may be paying unnecessarily for excessive power that is never used.
How to look at the power of contracted light
The contracted power is a datum that the electricity company must offer the consumer obligatorily, since it is so stipulated legally. Therefore, all companies indicate on the electricity bill the power that is contracted in a home.
In addition, this information can also be consulted in the contract signed between the company and the clientwhen you sign up for an electricity rate with any electricity company.
The tenants living for rent and who do not have access to the contract signed between the landlord and the company or to the electricity bills, they can contact the marketer and ask for the information.
How to know the power that each home needs
When a new electricity rate is going to be contracted, the most common thing is that the electric company explains what the needs are according to the dimensions of the house. Rates are usually based on the size of the houses per square metersand based on this they calculate the kW that each house needs approximately.
If there is going to be a change in the contract rate, it is recommended consult previous invoices to know how much is consumed on average a month to find out if it should be expand, reduce or leave the contracted power as it is.
Yes sinkers jump too often when three or four appliances are turned on, it is an indicator that the contracted kW are insufficient. In this case, it would be convenient increase the contracted power to solve the problem.
It can also happen that in a small apartment with little consumption, too high an amount of money is paid on the bill, which may indicate that the contracted power is excessive and can be lowered to save.
