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.

So.. anybody here can enlighten me?

additional info: the boiler uses about 2000W and 1 gas tank costs about rm21.

Tolong

I've done the calculations.

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.

i don't even...

Guys guys, chill lah... From the calculations, I don't think I need to save on electric boiler. This is because the difference is negligible. And uh, b3ta, shoo~
