Dahil nagsimula nang uminit ang panahon, dumami rin ang mga nagbubukas ng mga appliance na pampalamig tulad ng aircon. Pero hinay-hinay lang po sa mga customer ng Meralco dahil may dagdag-singil sa inyong bill ngayong Marso.

00:00As the weather warms up, more and more people are opening their air-conditioned appliances.
00:08But be careful, Meralco's customers, because there is an increase in your bill this March.
00:15Mark Salazar was on the spot.
00:20The 26 centavos per kilowatt-hour increase in Meralco's bill this month is just in time for the warm-up.
00:28For typical customers who consume 200 kilowatt-hours per month,
00:36this is equivalent to P53 added to their total bill.
00:42Three fees that can be seen in our electricity bill increased and resulted in an increase.
00:48The reason is that the one-time regulatory reset fee adjustment was completed last month.
00:57Also, the transmission charge and the feed-in tariff allowance is higher.
01:05The higher bill, of course, is expected to increase the high consumption of electric fans, air-conditioners, and other coolers.
01:14How much is your monthly bill if it's not hot?
01:17Just normal, around P1,500 to P2,000.
01:20So that becomes P3,000?
01:22More.
01:23This March, seasonally, the increase is not that big.
01:29So the consumption will really be affected, especially households in April.
01:34Along with Nora's savings, she's also staying outside to avoid the heat, instead of opening an electric fan or air-conditioner.
01:42Sometimes, you're just outside for 10 minutes.
01:44So you don't open an electric fan or air-conditioner?
01:48When we open an air-conditioner, it's not just double, it's triple, right?
01:51According to Miralco's study, their customers' consumption is increased by 20% to 40% because of the cooling appliances.
02:00If you can't avoid using an air-conditioner, make sure the filter is always clean and put a thermostat at 25% so that the machine is not difficult to use.
02:10As for the refrigerator, avoid opening and closing the refrigerator and just fill up the refrigerator up to 67% of its space.
02:18Miralco assured that their supply is ready to survive the summer without browning out.
02:24Our requirements are fully covered by our suppliers.
02:30We made sure, in fact, we entered into an EPSA, the Emergency Power Supply Agreement, to cover our requirements, especially during peak load come the summer months.
