Got warranty 12 years for product problem. 3 years for installation problem. Cleaning 5 years once maybe they say about RM1000.
Your point a bit extreme but i get it. But currently in Malaysia landed property is the majority still.
I also dunno how become so high. Semi-D only. 2 biji aircon average per night.
But ROI 5 years. By logic based on warranty given it should be problem free for 10 years at least.

me wife and 4 ekor anak.

Average 3 biji aircon every night until morning. +1 study room aircon if star aligned and i get to play game. Even my friends and family shocked about my rm800+ bill. I also dunno why so high really.

you seem proud of your bro fixing meter?

Tell your brother prepare 50k soon - After they change smart meter --- they will cross reference check historical usage and current - then 200% kena fine.
With smart meter possible to stikk hack but 100% kena tangkap because they will monitor the grid total usage not the meter only total usage.
Good luck . lol!

Speaking from friends experience recently.

when it catch, gg.
should be court case already.
i work this industrial.
my collogue go court before as witness for this.
sound like yours not normal, lol

sure gg. got insider tell me.....

substation supply to taman -> x kwh
every house in taman -> y kwh

x - y kwh = curi

then check which house in that taman suddenly drop in kwh consumption recently. 

just pull up chart house by house, very easy see....

soon a team will come to that house and check the meter. 

first time fine,
2nd time could be jail already.

good luck.

if smart meter, more gg.

every hourly usage pattern is all recorded inside the meter.
including, V, A, PF, Wh, Varh, VAh, angle and etc.
got hourly, daily and monthly profile. all recorded.
if the meter with modem, mean all data already uploaded to server database.

even burn the meter, as long as the memory chip is alive, still can extract the data out.
even u open the terminal cover, also recorded date and time.

needs to be 3 phase. i have enquired to a solar company and that is one of the first questions they ask.
you can fined upwards of 20k if you are not careful. lel.

tell your bro don't play. He will get caught. So far i surveyed most friend/family who adjusted meter kena. You just need to ask when no one is around, they will confess.

Malaysia is like that. Before kantoi they tell 9 street what they did how they untung. After kantoi they keep quiet only cos face more important than anything else.

I just glad they changed to digital meter never kantoi me. This adjusted meter thing is a major hindrance that is preventing me from installing solar years ago. I could have gotten NEM2.0 if not because of it.

one of my friend did that with smart meter, he tap the electricity cable from the main and use it for living hall aircond only. His bill is around RM200 and so far 2-3 years didn't kantoi.

First, we don’t have the money to put in kwsp one lump sum like that.

So your calculation lari by a lot dy.

Second. , we are using money we set aside monthly. to pay Tnb. So that money is not for investment for kwsp also.

So your calculation become irrrelevant dy.
The analogy is

I need to pay 300 bus lrt pass every month to go to work

I use thr 300 to py for a cheap car, kancil and the total maintenance for then car monthly and petrol is only rm300
So I my transportation method just changed. But my commitment still same.  The money is never for epf coz it is a necessary spending to work.

End of the payment , I got a car, and I can save a bit, and maybe hook up an awek in the kancil. Hahahah.

No la. Nowaday it’s already zero entry.  I don’t know if some company still charge deposit but the one I got into no deposit la. Even if got also can be 60 month.

For me, The total cost is divided to 48- 60 months.
I paid everything via installment. No deposit at All.

My new Tnb monthly bill only rm3. So insignificant  la.

Okay. I got calculate every month how much I actually saved.

Many ppl just say before solar how much after solar how much. 

A bit vague. But I can confirm it’s 80% true. The 20 % is the actual amount saved
So far, after 6 months of usage. My actual saving is rm3803.29 and the total kWh I used is 8249.633kwh

My system is about 38k. So. I am already hitting 10% of the system cost after 6 months. 

So far maintenance I haven’t encounter. 

Later when got free I try send u the calculation I make every month.  I keep track all the production and import

Some ppl just want rough figure, so they use 8099.63(production)  and they multiply with 0.571. Highest tariff.
That will get a figure of rm4624.

So depend on how u look at it. I stick to my calculation.
