GUIDELINES ECONOMY
REFRIGERATOR
The unit must have clearance of at least 15 centimeters from the walls and ceiling. Nor do we recommend putting it next to the stove. To save energy, avoid opening and closing the door all the time and do not put hot foods. Try not to block air circulation inside.
IRON PASS
We do not recommend turning it on as many devices are in use because of overloading the power grid. Add as many clothes as possible to be passed at once.
ELECTRIC SHOWER
As the device consumes a lot of energy, try to take short showers and turn off the water in time to lather. Only use this mode when winter is very cold. Only use original resistance.
LIGHTING
Try to make the most of natural lighting during the day and avoid lighting the lamps. Painting with light colors on the walls help provide more light with less power. When you leave a room, do not forget to turn off the light. Another important advice is to buy, preferably fluorescent.
AIR CONDITIONER
Do not expose the unit to the sun, placing protection not cap the vent. Close curtains and blinds.
Communities have free service
Because of the difficulty to pay for the reform of the wiring in their homes, residents of poor communities in Rio are getting the service free of power utilities. In Rio, the Light has improved facilities houses in Santa Marta, where 700 new refrigerators and 7 thousand fluorescent bulbs were distributed.
The next community to be benefited is the City of God. "There was a savings of 25% and no one was deprived of anything," said José Márcio Ribeiro, advisor Operations Light.
The Ampla also seeks to make the bill of the poor fit in your pocket. In addition to repairing the wiring in 16 million homes, the return of 125 thousand light bulbs and distribution of 2 thousand refrigerators, the utility introduced in the state that invention comes from Minas Gerais.
Device that heats the water before entering the shower is being donated to charities. Consumers can order it on the site www.rewatt.com.br. "With all these measures, we are reducing the theft and, therefore, the rate is cheaper for everybody," explains the director of Institutional Relations of the concessionaire, André Moragas.
CRISIS 'blackout' CHANGED HABITS
Because of the lack of investment in the electricity sector and the lack of rain, the Brazilian had to save on expenses in 2001. Rationing has been dubbed a "blackout" on behalf of the falls that were beginning to leave the cities in the dark at the beginning of the crisis. Who was spared much discount, but who did not reduce consumption or to elevate their spending was fined higher rate.
The blackout made the majority of Brazilians change the habits and changes were incorporated permanently to the everyday. Despite the negative side, experts have noted an educational side in the crisis. Many consumers have adopted fluorescent lamps instead of incandescent. Another habit that the crisis has been to store enough food in the freezer.
Although the unit has long been a symbol of comfort and status, to be turned off, ended up showing unnecessary.
