Abstract

This research aims to study the factors influencing electricity consumption in the Forastero sector, located in the Latacunga canton, Belisario Quevedo parish, during the period of January-February 2024. Eight families were selected in this sector, and their electricity consumption was analyzed, especially in relation to the use of refrigerators. The methodology included data collection using a multimeter and interviews with the participants. The results revealed that simple measures such as maintaining a suitable temperature, avoiding overloading the refrigerator, and reducing the time the door remains open can significantly reduce electricity consumption. Likewise, a lack of knowledge among users about the real operation of refrigerators and how external factors can affect their energy efficiency was identified. In conclusion, the importance of education, proper maintenance, and the adoption of more efficient technologies to improve the energy efficiency of refrigerators and reduce environmental impact is highlighted.
