Inmobiliaria Noll Sotogrande ¿Cómo se calcula la potencia eléctrica real que necesita una propiedad de lujo_

How is the electrical power of a Sotogrande property calculated?

In the process of registering electricity in a house in Sotogrande Cadiz, a main point that must be detailed is the selection of the contracted power for that installation, since the contracted power at a supply point determines the amount of energy that at most it can be consumed in the installation at a given moment of time.

In addition, another important aspect of the contracted power is that it represents fixed costs in the electricity bill, which must be paid regardless of whether there is energy consumption.

In this blog, we will discuss the main aspects of power, the methods for calculating electrical power and the procedure to follow when trying to change it if it does not meet your needs.

Electrical power in a home, how to define it?

This concept represents the amount of electrical energy that can be supplied by the installation at a specific moment in time, which is understood as the amount of electronic devices that can be simultaneously connected to the network without overload failures. The unit of measurement for power is the kilowatt and is generally represented by its initials kW.

Do the houses all have the same type of electrical installation?

The reality is that we can find two types of electrical installations inside homes, on the one hand, we find single-phase installations, which work using a single circuit for the entire house, and three-phase installations, which have three circuits to carry out their work. distributed throughout the building, which translates into a greater demand for energy.

The following table details the real differences between both electrical installations:

Despite the fact that in most homes in Spain the installations are single-phase, in the case of a villa of more than three hundred square meters, the most common is that there is a three-phase installation.

What factors are the most important when selecting the power to contract?

The most decisive aspects when choosing the contracted power are the following:

  • Number of people who habitually reside in the dwelling.
  • The surface with which it counts.
  • The quantity and efficiency of the electronic devices present.
  • The existence of large consumers of electricity, such as air conditioning or electric heating.

The power of my home does not meet my needs, how to change it?

When there is a power that is out of date in relation to the real needs, this must be modified, being able to increase the contracted power in those cases in which there is less than the necessary power and vice versa. To make the change effective, a period of at least one year must have elapsed from the entry into force of the current contract, added to the presentation of the following documents to make it possible:

  • Documentation that includes both the personal and contact information of the owner of the electricity service.
  • Current contracted power and power demanded in the new contract.
  • Electrical CUPS code.
  • Bank account number of the person who appears as the owner.
