Hi,

I just received  a "Change New Meter" notice from TNB today..

I have a few questions..

a) During working hours, nobody at home...how they going to change my meter? will they climb inside my house or break my gate? (I heard they are gangsters)

b) I heard new meter uses new calculation...the electric bil will raise drastically...is it true?

Haiz, the notice like a bomb for me in 2012 year...what's a gift!!!

Can you ask them to come in the weekend? They have no right to come in your house without your permission. That is call trespassing.


Is the same type of meter just with tempered proof. I usually record my daily maybe 2 days once, so you can do that before they come over change, and after they come over change. See what's the difference.

Yes. They climb. The gate is not high. You can't do anything.

I act stupid. First I ask them is this meter more accurate. They say lots of people complain cause too expensive. I say: oh is it, never mind I will complain if is high, I don't use much and record my usage.

Not bad....how many downlight you ON at night? some more two day A/C Full night ON?

ANy modification?
*
No modification, only home after office, and dinner at my mom place. I think average 6 downlight for about 5 hours. I work late too, conference calling to US. I calculate, when I am home (night), usually around 5 to 8 units.

So I would say the electronic and the old meter did not go far off. Still, why they want to change the black horse? is working fine.

Added on March 10, 2012, 9:28 amBTW, the new meter come with reverse mode. Think good for people want to put solar in future.

16KW is high???
Without A/C it will around 10Kw...

Normally
Refrigerators
Pray table light
Salt stone light
2 LED (never off) (3W and 9W)
Car pourche 15W LED downlight
At night normally with use the 15W x 6LED downlight for few hours...
Backdoor 2 x 10W LED

with this possiable hit 10KW?
*
You got hot water dispenser? that one take some energy too. You did not mention water heater, you using solar?

And other possibility is the driver for your LED is not efficient, maybe wasting another 50% for heat.

my usage is 20kwhr a day with
- one aircond 1.5hp running 9 hrs
- a pond water pump runing 24hr at 230watt.
- No water heater, use solar with water pump
- electric hop, cook 6 days a week
- electric oven, seldom use, if use one time = 1 kwhr
- microwave use to cook rice once a day, 6 times a week
- two fridge
- only 3 ppl in the house

When off pond water pump and aircond, 14 kwhr a day
When use the electric oven for the day goes up 1kwhr

The new meter was installed on 21st Feb.
*
Water pump 240 watt per hour. 24 hours is a 5.76 KWh per day. Minus the pump, the A/C usage is about 2 Kwh, think is about that number.
