QUOTE(papamia @ Jun 29 2010, 11:40 PM) Uhm, currently I'm using an electric boiler to boil water. My housemate says that it is more economical to boil it using gas. I doubt so because it won't make much difference. Gas cheaper. TBN use gas/water to generate electricity. and household gas got government subsidy. So.. anybody here can enlighten me? additional info: the boiler uses about 2000W and 1 gas tank costs about rm21. Tolong |

QUOTE(papamia @ Jun 30 2010, 12:56 AM) I've done the calculations. How many liters of water are you talking about?My water boiler consumes 2000W and can get the job done in 10 minutes, therefore 2000W x (10/60)/1000=0.333kWh it will be 0.333kWh x 0.218 = RM 0.0726 I use it 3 times per day throughout a month. That means it is 0.0726 x 3 x 30=rm6.50 I have 5 person staying in this house. Therefore, I don't think it is wise to save on this considering safety issues. |

QUOTE(salimbest83 @ Jun 30 2010, 01:25 AM) electric want is the fastest.. Funny you should come up with that figure. I have just calculated the cost of Amway UV light used to kill viruses and bacteria and it comes to 5 sen per liter as well, making those UV light thing very cost competitive indeed minus the hassle of boiling. That is excluding the filtration which will add another 5 sen. Making about 10 sen per liter.less than 6-7 min only.. and should cost cheaper.. emm.. how calculate .. 2000*/100 *7/60 *0.218 araound RM 0.05086 only per 1.3litre This post has been edited by Optiplex330: Jun 30 2010, 10:33 AM |

I boil water with gas and electric. Yes electric is slightly faster but i do not know of the cost of neither. Most homes have these electric water boiler with keep hot function. Those suck electric like mad as u use it 24 hours a day. I boil with electric water pot and then transfer the water to a thermos. The water boiled by gas is cooled for regular consumption. I use my handphone alarm function to keep track when the water boils. It averages 23 minutes depending on weather.
