i share the same concern as you for high electricity usage/bill.
if possible monitor your meter on a daily basis. say you take a reading at 7am, do this everyday at 7am. Then each day you only use certain appliances. I think you can figure out which is the main culprit to pay more than Rm300 for one particular utility is really ridiculous This post has been edited by idoblu: Jul 7 2015, 03:48 PM |

my room aircon 2HP i put 26C also cold like anything
my living and dining room also i put 24C only 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 |

QUOTE(weikee @ Jul 7 2015, 07:15 PM) 18c sure lah. How can you achieve 18c, even inveter will run forever. Usually 23 is good. If run full-time for a month, you for to pay almost 700 bucks.you running server room? 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 only blowing wind, not cool air very likely gas not enough. Time to service and check. 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.  |

QUOTE(weikee @ Jul 7 2015, 08:46 PM) No way to reach 16c if sizing are correct or just bit oversize. Unless outside is super cold like <24c, and room are seal tight. i know no way, but these buggers set it to 16C so it gets the coldest and I don't complain them lor.btw i use this Econavi thing. 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. |

QUOTE(nanan75 @ Jul 7 2015, 08:33 PM) something with digital tnb meter causing high reading or is it just me? the reading keep increasing with same numbers of appliances, over time. 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? 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.  |

QUOTE(ajai@jakes @ Jul 8 2015, 05:59 PM) I guess it similar to the star rating in Malaysia. the more stars the more energy saving it is. that's why I try as much as possible to get the 5 star products. ticks may not be the same as stars |

QUOTE(kimsim @ Jul 9 2015, 10:49 PM) Water instant heater won't drink the energy lah, just you press the button then heat up only you are wrong againBut water storage tank is different story. Once you power on may cook & boiling the water and keep it warm until temp are drop to be heat up again. Again 2500w = 2.5hp + 1hp Aircon power input watt  Very simple work.. A day from 7am to 8pm in between has 3 time of boiling, on each boiling to be 2.5kwh x 3 times = 7.5kwh.. Maybe you wanna try to understand the work out instant heater needs full power all the time storage heaters has conserved heat from previous usage and therefore do not need full power all the time nobody ask you to leave the storage heater on 24x7. Just turn it on before you shower and turn off after use. btw my storage heater is turn on 24 hours but mine is a heat pump storage heater la...

QUOTE(kimsim @ Jul 10 2015, 11:35 AM) Ok maybe I don't understand the work out. i think I know the problem already - your tank is too small! 25L both you and your wifey and possibly your kids use until habis. Thats why you got a tank full of cold water every time Just go back home and do a proper check out from morning when the tank is cold + take bath n also never turn off after you go back home at evening time, see how much the extra clock in. If less than 3kwh then you are the correct one  |

QUOTE(razaliChe @ Jul 10 2015, 05:39 PM) I used 1.5hp aircond abt 14 hours daily and my bill is near rm450 monthly. I have been using a 1.5hp daikin inverter for probably 20hours a day and my bill is less than Rm100, about Rm70-80 But I don't have fridge or water heater The interval is like 1.5 years so it's stable This post has been edited by idoblu: Jul 12 2015, 02:07 PM |
