CAUTION: READ THIS BEFORE CHANGE ELECTRICITY SUPPLIER!

If you are considering changing your electricity provider, you have probably already thought of several things. You have already compared prices, services and offers. However, there is one important thing that often goes unnoticed and then problems begin. In fact, we’re changing, we’re all happy to pay less and then realize we can’t have half of the things we’ve pegged. Moreover, the decision may take some time. So REALLY READ THIS BEFORE SWITCHING ELECTRICITY PROVIDERS!

CAUTION: READ THIS BEFORE CHANGE ELECTRICITY SUPPLIER!

Of course price is always one of the very important factors. After all, we all want to save. But what’s the point of paying a lot less if we can’t take advantage of the things we’re used to?

There is one very important thing to be aware of when changing electricity providers. I’m talking about contracted power. This is something really important!

measuring unit The contracted power is kVA For domestic use, it is usually between 1.15 and 20.7 kVA. Choosing the right option increases the energy efficiency of your electric installation, your electrical panel goes down less and you’ll pay less on your bill.

The problem is that in many cases we don’t pay attention to this when we change electricity providers and in most cases we end up with a contract capacity of 3.45. This is in most cases the fault of the customer who, due to lack of knowledge, indicates insufficient power and in some cases of the operators who do not explain it properly.

What strength should you choose?

According to the site light and gas In general, for families of 4 people, 5.75kVA and 6.9kVA are recommended. For people who live alone, who use little electricity, 3.45 kVA That should suffice.

As you noticed, there is a relationship between contracted force And the price of electricity. The price of electricity always consists of two parts:

Fixed term (€/day or €/year):

It is a fixed amount that you always pay on your electricity bill and is not based on consumption but on electrical energy.

Term consumed energy (€/kWh):

This is the price per kWh. More specifically, it indicates the amount to be paid for electricity consumption during the month.

In general, both terms increase when contracting with a higher force.

It is interesting to note that in most definitions the terms of energy consumed are constant within the energy ranges. These are generally the ranges from 3.45 to 6.9 kVA and from 10.35 kVA to 20.7 kVA. In this case, the fixed term only becomes more expensive when the contracted power increases.

How does the contracting force change?

In fact, changing the contracted force is a very simple process. All you have to do is contact the electricity company, request a change, and provide the following documents:

  • personal data of the contract holder (customer number, citizen card or identity card and taxpayer number);
  • The address of the property to which the electricity contract whose power you wish to change is linked;
  • CPE – Delivery Point Code, which identifies your electrical installation.

After a few days, the distribution network technician will step in for a few minutes, after which the change will be made.
