Hidden Costs of Staying Cool During Mexico's Heatwave

Mexico City Heatwave: The Unexpected Cost of Keeping Cool Mexico City is sweltering under a record-breaking heatwave, and many residents are turning to fans for relief. However, what many don't realize is the significant cost of running a fan 24/7. El Heraldo de México's recent video highlights this issue, showing how electricity bills can skyrocket during prolonged heatwaves. The video provides concrete examples. In areas with the '1F' tariff, a 70-watt fan running constantly can add 38 to 90 pesos to the monthly bill. "The increase in the bill can be noticeably higher if there is more than one fan in the house," explains the video's narrator. The video also emphasizes the importance of understanding your individual electricity tariff, as costs vary widely across Mexico. The video's impact is clear: it promotes energy awareness and encourages informed decision-making during extreme temperatures. This is valuable information for all Mexicans, especially during this challenging heatwave.
