You may request TNB to check your meter there if there's current leak.

You sleep with aircon at what temp?

I rarely sleep with my air con on, normally just the ceiling fan. Even if I did, I never once changed the temperature.

You use electrik stove, water heater, aircon, clothes dryer, charge your EV car?

Not I didn't; my habit of using all the appliances is still the same. That makes me curious and concerned. If the policy of removing the subsidy causes all these, then I am perfectly fine with it.

I rarely sleep with the aircon on. One stupid question: so the fridge will consume more energy when the weather is warmer?

Not by much. But you may want to check the power usage if the fridge if it is an old one. In some cases, some component fault may cause it to do cooling cycle more that it should.

If you hardly sleep with aircon ON, that usage cost is high for a single person.

Change temp is not the problem But at what temp and what mode you run the aircon. That can affect the bill cost.

The detail that you think is not matter is the matter.

What else electrical appliances usage everyday?

I set my temperature at 25. Appliances I use daily are a fridge (24 hours), laptop (5 hours max), a hair dryer (less than 5 mins), water heater (15 mins)… that's all I can think of, and have been the same since I moved in, meaning seven years ago, and until these two months I saw the bill goes up, and that concerned me. If it's because we no longer enjoy the subsidy, I'm perfectly fine. Just wanna fix issue before it's too late, if really there is any.

What is your bill cost before this hike? Gradually up or sudden hike?

There might be the fridge or the aircon. This 2 can cause sudden high consumption.

You can do some test to see the meter record.

OFF all the aplicences. Not even 1 thing is running. Record the meter number. Wait an hr. Then record the meter again. Compare before and after the number. That can know anything is running or not.

For checking the high consumption like aircon, record the meter before ON the aircon, run the aircon as usual for 8hr sleep. After 8hr, record the usage and minus the record before. And you get the usage kWh. If you don’t no is it high or low usage, post it here all the record detail and let people here check for you.

The hike was sudden, having been around RM50-60 since seven years ago. Max will be RM80 like that, but only when my family visits.

I will do what you have advised. I believe it helps. Cheers.

ur char siu son bought a new intel gpu that apparently is using 40w even in idle due to hardware limitation and is contributing to the increase of electricity
or ur wife bought a new dyson and keep vacuuming non stop and have to charge it everyday
or the weather is so hot that ur AC needed to work harder to achieve the usual temp you set
im guessing its the hot weather issue

with this/about usage your bill estimate is around 100rm pm. assuming you using Aircond/ 1 HP about 8 hours daily .

there has been no change in tnb charging policy for your case.

you can check /analyse your daily usage online to see any issues. where up much .

i suspect your fridge could be faulty . it/compressor does not cut off hence run 24 hours .
