Do you want us to carry out an energy study with no commitment and completely free of charge?
Energy Efficiency for Individuals and Communities
60% of Spaniards do not know what electricity tariff they have or how much power they need in their daily lives. Energy advice is a key point to optimize savings in our homes.
At Eltel Systems, we will advise you, adjust the power to your needs, and choose an electricity tariff suitable for your circumstances. Changing luminaires and sometimes even the type of appliances can be a significant variable in the electrical consumption of your home.
In the case of communities of neighbors, optimizing both power and lighting and installations can reduce the bill by up to 60%.
Energy Efficiency in Small and Large Companies
The electrical consumption of medium and large companies accounts for almost half of the total electrical demand. The costs derived from this energy consumption are a factor to consider, as in many cases, this can mean the continuity or discontinuity of the activity.
Since the price of energy is variable, and moreover, this variable is not controllable by the company, reducing consumption and investing in energy efficiency is a safe bet. Furthermore, this change contributes to the environment as it helps to reduce emissions (lower consumption implies less electricity production).
Each company needs a fully customized plan so they can save and be more energy efficient. For this, it is necessary to carry out an Energy Study.
Once this study is carried out and after knowing what the new average monthly consumption is, it is necessary to adjust the contracted power to the new real needs of the facilities. The contracted power is the amount of kilowatts that the user has agreed with the distributor to be able to use them. This expense is a fixed expense that is higher with a higher contracted power if we do not use that power at any time, we are paying for power that we are not using.
But how can an energy study make us save enough for the installation cost to be profitable? In most cases, the investment is amortized in 6 to 12 months. Here are some of the options to consider when carrying out an energy study:
Energy Study
- Lighting: If possible, outdated lighting systems will be replaced by LED luminaires or natural lighting. With this alone, consumption can be reduced by up to 80%.
- Reactive energy: This type of energy is that which elements such as motors or transformers absorb and return constantly, dirtying the electrical signal. This is reflected in the bill in the form of a penalty, and electrically in the form of faults and instability. To control reactive energy, capacitor banks are needed to neutralize its negative effects.
- Efficient motor systems: In the case of having electric motors, it is necessary to have drive systems that are energetically efficient so that there are no power peaks during their start-up.
