Electrohold recommends that its customers switch off appliances during long absences during the summer holidays from electrical outlets in the home and office. Devices connected to the network consume electricity even when they are in standby mode without actually being used.

Turning them off can reduce consumption and your monthly bill while helping to prevent potential damage from seasonal weather or grid overload damage.

Statistics show that as temperatures rise in summer, electricity consumption rises. The data of ERM Zapad for the month of June this year show that the average electrical load on the network in Western Bulgaria has increased by nearly 7% compared to the same period last year, and the maximum load is nearly 17% higher.

On hot days, almost every home and office has a cooling system, air conditioner or fan on. Higher consumption leads to higher electricity bills and creates a risk of grid overload. Therefore, Electrohold calls on its customers to continue to monitor and actively control their consumption during the summer season. The sensible and responsible use of electricity ensures optimal comfort and increases the level of energy efficiency without increasing electricity bills.

One of the ways to reduce the electricity bill is to pay attention to its energy class when buying an electrical appliance. Although more expensive as an initial investment, appliances with higher energy efficiency quickly pay for themselves thanks to lower electricity consumption. On the corporate site of Electrohold Sales, practical advice on the reasonable use of electricity is published, as well as a calculator for calculating the monthly consumption of electrical appliances - https://electrohold.bg/bg/sales/domakinstva/energijna-efektivnost/.
