Seeing our Meralco bill was truly a major WTF moment.
Same kilowatts used as last March, but 30% higher bill.
Yes, dear friends, 30% higher.
Here's the breakdown of my daily usage:
- 24/7 Refrigerator - frost free but very high efficiency rating.
- 5 hours TV and DVD - for Eanna's videos.
- 12 hours Laptop - sometimes I unplug it then plug it again when battery is low.
- Mostly 24/7 Router and Cable modem for wireless internet.
- 2-3 hours (not all the time) TV in the living area.
- Hood in the kitchen - as needed. Probably less than 1 hour a day.
- 10-12 hours aircon - 1 only.
- Around 5 hours Electric fan.
- 5-10 minutes water heater when bathing. But this is not everyday since sometimes I just use cold water.
- Lights only open when it's night time, so that's around 4-5 hours?
- 5 energy saving CFLs - around 10-13 watts.
- Occasional use of 5 halogen lights not even 30 minutes a day. Probably 1 hour in a month?
- 2 bathroom lights occasional use - probably 30 minutes a day or even less.
- Charging of mobile phones - 1-2 hours every 3 days.
These are basically it. No fancy gadgets nor microwave ovens.
