I will keep this in mind. I have called tnb, they are also supprised by the spike. they will come over to the house to check the meter. hopefully it is a meter fault and nothing more.

billing cycle was from 15 may to 16 jun. approximately 32 days. I checked this on the bill.
Things just don't make sense.
my consumption from 16 june to 7 july is 950kwh!! which is about 21 days meaning my consumption per day is 45kwh.
I started monitoring from 7 july till this morning and my consumption for 2 days is about 66kwh or about 33kwh per day.

well....for the last 2 days since I started monitoring my meter...everything use will be turned off once finish. that include storage water heater and water pump.

I am leaking electricity somewhere!! but not sure where. 26/27kwh for 12 hours from 7pm to 7am doesn't seem right...

tak kottt...hehe

a bit difficult to turn everything off bro. stuff like my unifi difficult to access to completely shut off.
anyways, made an appointment with tnb. they will check the meter this next 2 or 3 days. in the meantime I will continue monitoring my usage until the next bill comes. especially since I know the billing will start somewhere between 14 july to 16 july. need to make sure it tallies with the numbers I have.

yup. will be monitoring till the new bill cycle to have a better idea of how much electricity I consume.
it just does not make any sense that I have to pay upwards of RM700 a month for my electricity bill.

this is the normal billing. I checked. so far both months are for normal billing and not estimate billing. the billing cycle for the RM700 bill is 32 days. I called to check.

this is weird. I use 26 units from 7am to 7pm for 3 days straight.
electrical items used are:

2 x 1hp inverter aircond for 9 hours each.
10 minutes 50 liter storage water heater
10 minutes 500 watt water pump
2 ceiling fans for 9 house each
4 LED downlights for 3 hours
20 minutes 2800 watt vacuum cleaner.

Help me. does this make any sense?

usage from 7am to 7pm is more ridiculous!!!

3 hours for ONLY 1 inverter aircond 1 hp
30 min 50l storage water heater
30 mins water pump
10 mins deep fryer
1 x 18 watt led downlight 4 hours
50 inch lcd tv for 6 hours

guess how much I used..14 units.

night time usage is 26units.

2 x 1hp inverter aircond. each for 9 hours
10 mins 50l storage hot water
10 mins water pump
4 x 18watt led down lights for 4 hours

digital year 2013

yes it is. I have a strong suspicion there is something wrong with the meter.

yup. already did a report with tnb yesterday. hope to set an appointment with them before raya.

Hi Guys,

Finally the TNB guys came this morning. After checking, they confirmed that there was something wrong with their meter and they will replace it this next few days. Hopefully yhen, I will have normal meter reading. Luckily, I took note of my daily usage for the last one month to compare.
Fingers crossed.
I would like to thank everyone for their advice and input on this issue. I will update again once the new meter has been installed.

I just got my new meter on 3 August 2015. They came at about 1pm and took about 5 mins to install. So far, I am happy as from what I have recorded, I have only used up 28kwh from 3/8/2015 at 1pm to 5/8/2015 up to this morning 7am. that is a solid 42 hours of usage. With my old meter, this was the consumption recorded from 7pm to 7am!!!

As for the compensation, I checked with tnb via phone and also to the person who changed my meter, they said the same thing, tnb will credit my account. not too sure how they will do that though.

I think thats about right. Cause when I was using my old meter, my reading was double your reading. you can read in my earlier postings what I used during the night.
hopefully my new meter I will get your reading, which I will be very happy with.

Dear Chantzeshyuan,

I do not want to be confrontational.

First
I don't think you read my earlier posting as I clearly mentioned that I am currently using LED downlights. If you had noticed or not been so ignorant, you would not have asked me if I want to change all my downlights to LED and instead should have asked me whether I want to change to a better quality downlight.

Second
I had thanked you for your input and politely mentioned that I am already currently using LED downlights.

Third
This thread was never about cheap or expensive LED. It has always been about electricity consumption.

Fourth
As you do not know me or my financial status, then please reserve your comments on whether I am using cheap LED downlights or otherwise.

Fifth
I do not have to answer to you or anyone else whether I have been conned or otherwise. Plus, you do not know what brand or how much my LED costs and neither do you know who had installed or where I purchased it.

Sixth
Lets leave it as it is and please use another thread if you want to promote LED lights, whether the LED lights are from you or from a colleague.

I will let you assume that my LED is less than RM30 or maybe less than RM10. I don't have to justify to you.

I will also let you assume that I have already provided an answer whether I am using cheap or expensive LED. IF I am not mistaken, I never mentioned whether it was cheap or expensive and I do not think I even mentioned how much it was. but if you had derived that I am using cheap LED downlights from my postings, then I think you are in the wrong career path and should take up mind reading.

I am not an electrician and neither will I pretend to know about LED downlights and whether if a driver is hot would use more electricity, that I will leave to the people who has more knowledge.

All I can say is that personally, I am uninterested with your offer to change my LED downlights due to the fact that you kept talking bad about other LED downlights whilst at the same time claiming that your LED downlights are of a better quality than China made ones without any proof or without any mentioned of what brand or anything to back your claims. Further, I think your attitude as a seller of LED downlights is a turnoff.

I will leave it to the rest of the readers to determine whether they want to purchase their LED downlights from your or not.

Thank you for the website.

you are selling Opple branded China LED downlights. noted.
