For me, anything 24 and higher is stuffy. I can stand cold or hot no problem. But not stuffy.

I have quilt, but only cover leg.

That is why if set 24, i rather off it, open up windows, and switch on fan + Ventilation fan. I get fresh air.

From the main wires outside of the meter... recorded the usage for few days at different time and look at the pattern.

hey electrical peeps..

wanna ask u all..

all the electrical in our house is configured in a parallel manner right ?

Yes.

The circuit are parallel. The appliances in both.

Correct

10q boss, so can run my neutral back to db rather than some power point somewhere

what you mean appliances in both ?

10q your 3 days too late hahaha thanks again

anybody got a comparative picture of 1.5/2/2.5/4sqmm wires side by side

wanna know how thick is it.. if it can go into my existing pvc conduit

Yesterday TNB came over and inspect my new meter guess their system still show old meter, and want to charge me 1000 units. I send them photo, never want to believe.

why you need to show them the photo? Can they see it is DIgital and different than their system record?

Ask them why... In their system still show old meter, nothing indicate I change to new meter. Guess they don't believe me.

Stupid enough...can be owner changed the meter ourself rights? hahaha Another typical joke
light up my Monday

Have similiar story to share with you guys, I just moving to my house, it's old house at Mahkota Cheras that I brought and renovated. Just moving in for a week, I've a chat with my neighbor and he told me he temp his meter, have to open all 4 aircond just to maintain monthly bill of rm-50-rm60 so it interest me, I even ask him to look for his contractor who temp the meter.

Mana tau the 2nd day, chun chun day after TNB came pressing my door bell, the said my old meter rosak already cannot read and have to change meter, this is not happen for the whole town according to them only change those that cant read, then I ask for proof cox i thought the random check, the really have my name on their letter and everything on my registration including my IC number, so have no choice let them change lol.

This is the 3rd week so i do not know how much it gonna cost or either it's higher than previous or not as I just move in.. I do not know if this is consider lucky or bad luck sigh

Anyway one of my friend told me old meter is better especially for old house, analog meter runs by spring and the spring will slow down after few years usually 5 - 10 years above, it's like wear and tear but digital 1 wont have this problem so 100years u stay there also bill wont go down lol

the person who came to my house is TNB guy for sure since they have all letters or documents under my name and never offer to change / temp anything at all so i guess those that jump in to your house or offer u to change / temp meter are sub-cons..

In fact, it is good as well, since you are the new owner and TNB changed for you, hence any modification can push to previour owner and non of your business lol...rights?

No la, the house was never mod before because the previous owner buy as an investment and never stay, if they come later days better ma after i mod and use for 2 - 3 years only they come to change to digital I can say how i know because I buy 2nd house just reno and stay but now cannot use any excuss d cox they come change to digital liao

imagine my neighbor open 4 aircond every time he comes home even thou when sleeping living room airond is kept open only rm50-Rm60

Feel that election is coming. Today saw in my bill that got extra subsidy from gov. All this while never notice got this kind of subsidy. It wrote in my bill " Subsidi bahan api oleh kerajaan persekutuan RM60.10"

But my usage and calculation is correct without this subsidy.

It actually informed you if without subside, you will have to top up RM60.10 on your existing bill...just like what you saw at Patrol station pump that how much G is paying the subsidi...you should know why they do that lol...

when it is parellel you get the max voltage and max amp. Some appliances especially those consume high power ones and it has two or more power functions and not to over load the house circuit when switching on both or all of them the circuits inside have to be in serial. For example you have an electric oven and cooker combine in one, you can on max the oven to 3kw, on other time you can on the cooker to 3kw, that does not hurt your house circuit as the max power for that particular circuit is 3kw or 13A. But when you on the oven to max 3kw and at the same time you swtich on the cooker to max, the oven power will automatically drop to say 2kw and the cooker to 1kw, or 1.5kw oven, 1.5kw cooker or the sum of the two never exceed 3kw. That is serial circuit with the objective of not melting your house circuit wire. In this sense when you think you often use both then dont buy something of combination but seperate, ie. cooker is cooker; oven is oven. Hope this helps.

Added on April 14, 2012, 11:44 pmThe subsidy dont go to us. The subsidy goes to the IPP. TNB buys expensive electricity from IPP and sell cheap to us and the govt pay TNB for the price difference plus profit, something like that. Know who created the IPPs? The longest serving PM lor. So the present PM is telling you in whatever way the govt pays for it for TNB to make money. If TNB dont make money we got no electricity and new technology as money is needed for investment for future building bigger power station, etc, etc...

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu today they coming to me dad's house.

Is it possible to use 700 freaking kWh of electricity in 1 month when there's only two people living in the house? Somemore we're both working and the only time we are at home is after 6

Read the bill carefully. It is usually 2 months once for "normal" reading and inbetween "estimate" reading. I got a bill for 72days which is more than 2 months also 700kwh.

Still for your case 700kwh for 2 months is very high. Something is very wrong with the meter otherwise if shoult be: You forgot to off aircond? You did not close the door of your fridge properly and the fridge is running 24 hrs or the door did not seal properly airtight?

You can do a check to the meter. You shut off all electric power to your house before you both go to work, record the meter reading, switch on a lamp or few items like fans with total 200watt. When you come home after 10 hrs the meter should increase by 2kwhr. Get one watt meter to measure the wattage of these things like fans to be on the accurate side.
