One of the household appliances that consumes the most energy is the air conditioning. Not only because we have it on for a large part of the day, but because its operation involves a strong consumption of electricity. 

When the heat is almost impossible to bear, the first thing we do is to find a cool place to take refuge in our house. However, on many occasions, our home can become a real oven and the use of air conditioning is a necessary evil that, if used unconsciously, can become a luxury.

When the temperature rises, the first thing we do is turn on the air conditioning. And although this action doesn’t have anything reprehensible, in many occasions we aren’t conscious of the bad practices that we have when we use our air conditioners at home or in the office.

During the summer, the kilowatt-hour rate is usually cheaper in locations with high temperatures, such as Yucatan, Campeche or Quintana Roo. But despite the low cost of electric power during this season, the consumption of energy increases due to the use of appliances that help us keep food fresh and the inadequate use of air conditioning.

Is the energy in Mexico subsidized? The short answer is yes. Although, the electricity prices of commerces and homes on the DAC rate (High Consumption Domestic Rate), tend to be up to 25% higher compared to the prices paid in the United States.

Surely you have already heard about inverter air conditioners and their wonderful advantages over conventional systems, the most outstanding of which is their considerable savings in light consumption, but how real is this saving? Here we answer this question.
