EDITED TO ADD WATER HEATER

Hi guys,

Need so input on electricity consumption. I just got my TNB bill and it costs me RM710.40 from 15 May to 15 June. What did I use that could make my bill go so high? Previously, in my old condo, my average bill was RM350.

Back ground information.

I just moved to alam impian in April
It is a 2 story intermediate.
Major electrical items:-

York inverter aircond 1hp x 3 sets = I only use 2 air conditioners from 10pm to 8am (10hours) and from 2pm to 4pm(2 hours) at temp 26c at the lowest fan.
Acson normal aircond 1hp x 2 sets = hardly use
Acson normal aircond 2hp 1 set = hardly use
Grundfos water pump 1.5hp = 1 set which I keep on 24 hours 7 days a week
Electrolux clothes dryer = +/-6 hours a week
Rubine brand built in oven which I use +/-5 hours a week
Rubine brand hood which I use everyday for +/-3 hours a day
Deep oil fryer (no brand) which I use +/- 1 hour a day
LCD 50 inch tv which is kept on from 8am to 10pm (14 hours) everyday (kids)
KDK ceiling fan I use 1 which is kept on from 8am to 11pm (15 hours)
Toshiba 700liter inverter fridge

FORGOT TO ADD:-
1 STORAGE WATER HEATER 35 LITERS
1 STORAGE WATER HEATER 50 LITERS
BOTH USED SPARINGLY

Those I think are the major electrical items which I use daily.
As for the lights in the house, I use 18watt LED downlights for the whole house.

Please help. I need to figure out what is causing such a high electricity bill.

Nice oven you have there, consuming 3000W. Any normal oven can easily win your oven hands down on saving consumption. That's 60 units for 28 days.
Hob about 17 units
2 inverters with 10 hours usage, that's 448 units
2 inverters with 2 hours usage, that's 112 units
non inverters, maybe 20 units?
water pump, standby also will consume power, about 30-40 units
Others own self count, just check the label for wattage and calculate from there.
Just the above for 28 days already ~700 units.

you are wrong again
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...

I got a new digital electricity meter installed 5 weeks ago. The Tnb installer said the old meter is rosak.  But yesterday I came home to find the bill asking for rm755!  Usually it is between rm350 to rm420.   
I called Tnb and they say maybe the old meter give false readings so now the new meter is giving accurate readings.    What can I do?  I am sure I have not use more electricity at all.

That's bad, just make a formal complaint and repeat the same thing, else you will get a lawyer letter from them doh.gif
