I'm just wondering if my electricity bill is more than normal. Appliances used regularly :-

1 x 1hp aircond - switched 2-3 hrs a day
1 x 1.5hp aircond - switched 5-6 hrs a day
2 x small fridges
1 x large fridge
1 x freezer
2 x tvs
2 x pcs

Average bill - RM500-700/month

I've asked some electricians and they've said that at the most the bill should come up to 200-300+ at the most.

That's what I thought, so expensive compared to other houses. If 200-300+ I would be very happy. I've called TNB to change the meter but still no difference after changing. Already listed down the most important appliances. The rest are very small la..

aaron.. no fancy jacuzzi or koi etc. Just normal room lights (flourescent) & living room lights (philips). Very careful with electricity, when nobody is around we switch off everything except for the room we are in and the landing lights.

Would changing to 3-phase wiring help or getting those stabiliser that is sold outside claiming 30% reduction?

yes the fridge is in the kitchen and dining area downstairs. The AC is upstairs in the bedrooms.
