With the arrival of lower temperatures, one of the main villains of bills tend to gain even more weight in energy consumption. One of the most powerful devices usually found in homes, the electric shower. To try to reduce the impacts of use, Cemig has some recommendations.
According to the technical energy solutions, Frederick Stark Rezende, the economy starts when buying the device, because "we need to see if the shower has the Procel Seal for energy savings, and the most efficient equipment are classified with the letter THE".
Consumers can still see the power of the shower: the higher, the more energy it will consume. According to Frederick Stark, consumers can save energy by reducing the bath time and turn off the shower at the time soaping.
Another important attitude is in relation to the change of winter / summer key position. "In Minas, even being winter, there are cities where you can leave the shower in the summer position, it generates savings of approximately 30%," said the coach.
In addition, consumers should evaluate the possibility of installing a solar heating system because the cost benefit can be attractive.
Safety
Replace the shower resistance occurs when burning is a relatively simple task, but like any implementation services in the wiring may cause shock if proper care is not taken. Therefore, it is prudent to perform a professional service.
To make the replacement, Cemig recommends safety measures below:
• For any intervention on the electrical installations of the residence, the corresponding circuit breaker to the circuit must be turned off.
• Always get a resistance the same characteristics of the original burned: change the equipment characteristics can compromise the quality of the product, as well as electrical installations, which were already designed for resistance previously used.
• After replacing the resistance and before turning on the switch, turn on the tap and let it open a few seconds, enough so that it can fill the shower full of water, as this avoids the burning of installed resistance.
• Always use appropriate connectors.
• Make sure the power removed shower is compatible with power shower installed. If the new shower has a higher electrical power, the electrical installation of the residence must pass an inspection from a qualified professional.
