before TOU it was 3rd as well

surprisingly this time received at 9am+ after TOU

1st to 4th Aug already billed straight after approving TOU. maybe less than 30 days so process faster?

Same goes with me, August month I switch to TOU, 1 bill then when my NEM activated a few weeks later, 1 more bill. This morning just received another August bill but to be paid before 1st Oct 2025. I also lost count how many bills I have paid. What I see is the TNB software is not capable to accept these abrupt changes.. lame!  dry.gif

normal, any changes made will trigger the bill repayment

Inverter aircon need to be running at least 5 hour and bigger than 1 hp. to have noticeable savings.

Yes 2hp inverter needs bigger pipes.

dang.. thinking to replace bed room 2's aircond now.

i think 1.5hp now if not wrong, if get same hp also need bigger pipe?

You need to check if your current air-cond using what type of gas.

If still using the old R22, then you need change air-cond gas piping liao coz the newer gas R32 or even the currently being superseded R410A gas, both need higher pressure thus R22 piping must be changed. Their piping are of bigger size.

Most of air-cond nowadays using R32 gas. R32 gas piping is also NOT compatible with R410A gas piping.

So beside needing bigger pipe for higher hp, changing to different gas piping also can affect this especially changing from smaller R22 gas piping.

okay, thanks for the info!

hopefully it's R32 so can replace directly

around 10-12 years old daikin aircond
