QUOTE(billylau @ Jul 7 2015, 05:46 PM) Yea I am facing this bill increase as well. My first two months when I moved in the bill was around 400-500 each month. Just last 3 months, it jumped up to RM1k, RM900, and RM 850 per month... crazy. 900 how many kWh per month? That is crazy man, like a office turn on 5 units 2hp Aircon at least from morning 8am till 7pm. This post has been edited by kimsim: Jul 7 2015, 05:55 PM

Last month 1813 kwh, RM916.92.. I was suspecting it is my York inverter aircond, the compressor broke down 3 months back, and despite that I still turned it on, and it was not really cooling, so I had to turn on like 24 hours. Do you think this is the culprit?
I do have 5 adults living in the unit tho. 1 being my maid. But on weekdays, all 4 of us are not at home till 5pm onward. Things that 24/7 on are my wine chiller, fridge, water dispenser(coway).

Usually 23 is good. If run full-time for a month, you for to pay almost 700 bucks.you running server room? If only blowing wind, not cool air very likely gas not enough. Time to service and check.

mine are panasonic inverters given by the developer. recently both my living and dining aircon leaking gas. when the two indons (developer side) came and service, they told me must set it to 16C then only cold. i said you gila ka? mau saya jadi ais batu?" And they set everything to Auto (louvers, fan speed etc) - the cold air takes damn long to come on

Time to service and check. if blowing air only, most of the time its the capacitor. got one big ass cap at the compressor end that kicks start the compressor. if service men sure charge Rm250 to fix. I go buy from aircon shop only like Rm12. I then call the service people to clean my aircon. pay them 60 to clean and replace the cap for free.

something with digital tnb meter causing high reading or is it just me? the reading keep increasing with same numbers of appliances, over time.
Anyway to check the tnb meter calibration? Im on ~700-750kWh per month and its already painful. Big ticket items are 2.0hp and 1.0hp normal Daikins each 5hrs per night. Others are per normal people.

If cap faulty, compressor won't run and will not drain energy.

Unless outside is super cold like <24c, and room are seal tight.

It can detect where you are and got activity or not etc and then adjust the settings accordingly. see la my next month bill how my induction, oven and hood not use yet summore.

These TNB meters are the only thing that no independent firm can check their calibration. Seriously TNB can set it to run fast all they want and get away with it. If a seller use a weighing machine to sell things based on weight, I am sure it has to go thru some certification and calibration before they are allow to use it. Why not TNB meters as well?

I switch off that function. If sleep it didn't detect movement it increase the temperature at least 2points. Making my room stuffy.
