That's a huge jump.. in the billing amount.

I know inverters are energy saving but frankly if a air con is underpowered to cool a room, doesn't it require alot of energy to cool a big room that requires adequate HP size?

Then it would explain why your bill hiked considering the number of hours it is on and the energy taken to cool the room.

That's the average monthly bill for me but last month crept to RM50 because of the aircon usage during the nights for a few hours a day due to the fact that it has been blardee hot of late in recent months and the nights are also warm too.

Speaking of something.. Does ajai@jakes have a habit of leaving the switches on even though appliances are off? Could also be one of the causes.

Your energy cost for vacuum alone is RM34 (GST + KWTBB included) per month. That's 50% of Ozak's 1 month TNB bill.

Okay ladies & gentlemen, lets not argue about the storage heating and the consumption of energy used.

Seeing is Believing so just post some pictures with the readings in the morning and evenings so you can compare whether the claim is right...

Other than that, it's pointless to argue over the energy consumption.

I admit that I have no idea about the energy consumption for storage heater since I don't use one but well it's not going to go anywhere with both parties arguing over it unless that claim can be substantially backed up.

Actually putting the photos won't proof much. Just proof the meter is running and numbers are running.

But For argument sake, I have my monthly usages below.  My average is about 9 to 10units per day. During weekday is only 1 storage running for 20-30mins, with 1 x 1.5HP Inverter running 8 hours, and maybe 12 CFL (18watt each)  lights running  about 4 hours in total. While on weekend, 2 storage running with around 20-30mins each, sometime the other unit switch on for long hours because my kid always forgot to switch it off, while AC usually 10-11 hours for Sat and Sunday. Lights about the same, and TV about 4 hours in the weekend.

If have chance la haha but no worries, as long as we understand our own consumption usage is enough.

I was looking at my TNB details after you posted yours. Not sure but I think my side is using an average of 5-6 units a day for 2 persons and no kids unless I calculate wrongly.

Washing Machine - 1-2 times a week as long as clothes load is full to the max.
Fridge - on 24/7
Air con x 2 but using only 1 air con since other air con is in guest room. Usage for 1 air con is from 2-3 hours at night as most of the time is using ceiling fan.
Usual electrical appliances
- Electric Hob (1-2 times a week)
- Electric Kettle (boil water every few days?)
- Rice cooker (everyday use to cook for dogs)
- Water heater (everyday for 10 min)
- Built in oven (used occasionally)
- Water filter machine (use only to fill drinking water jug and bottle then and now)
Led lights are only turned on in the areas we are in.

Well, if you are in subang, come over my house for 3 hours. I can show you how much energy it uses.

Forgot to mention that the only electrical items that are on at my place, is the internet modem and the CCTV recorder 24/7. These makes a small output I guess.

We don't really watch much TV because one of us plays computer games and the other is on own tablet. Vacuuming is only done once a week because we both are working.

From your list of usages it look normal. Mine higher because my AC running are longer. If you notice some month I only use 8+ units / day, because my AC usage are lower but substitute with more hot water usage during rainy season.
