how much is your monthly electric bill?

[IPSG_SlimShady]

Mas tipid ba ang tatlong (3) standard electric fan versus isang (1) 1.5 HP na aircon used in the same duration? Hindi ko kase alam kung ilang HP ang isang stand fan.

Summer na naman, kaya sigurado laki na naman electric bill natin dahil sa aircon. Tindi ng init minsan. Kailangan talaga mag-aircon ka na. Kapag electric fan lang, mainit din yung buga ng hangin para ka lang iniihaw ng buhay.

kainggit naman ung iba dyan!dati kami 5-6k but now coz its summer (or maybe coz of 12% EVAT) 7k na!2 laptops almost always on and 2 occasional desktops,2 a/c, big & personal ref....sa province max na yata ung 2k =)

[CLAVEL3699]

ako less than 2k pero super tipid hindi ko na gamit aircon ko.

minsan dalawa tv bukas saka dalawa electric fan

bihira kami magbukas nang ilaw kasi malaki mga bintana nang bahay namin malakas ang hangin at liwanag galing sa labas.

Ref minsan pinapatay na sa gabi kinabukasan na lang bubuksan. Super tipid talaga pero nakaka 2k pa din kami

[CoDer]

I average 1,3K a month. A/C is used 9 hours a day, PC and laptop is always on, TV is used 16 hours a day, and we never turn-off the ref.

Last year we peaked at 1,8K a month until we switched from electric range to a gas range.

[Jun aka Pekto]

Equivalent prices would be P4k during winter when A/C isn't needed and between P6k - P8k during summer.

We have 2 pc's, 2 laptops, 1 Mac Mini, 1 iBook, 1 eMac. 3 x 20" crt tv's, 1 x 27" crt tv, 1 x 32" lcd tv, 2 dvd players, 1 dvd recorder, 1 dvd player built into a tv, 1 (double sided) full-sized refrigerator with ice maker and filtered water, 1 regular full size refrigerator, 1 floor freezer....

And yet, after all the above, the biggest chunk of our electric bill is taken up by the centralized A/C.

[Autobeat]

Kami 3.5k ngayong summer:

2 ACs (1HP) ave 8hrs daily.
1 ref
3 TVs
2 laptops
sometimes: microwave, oven toaster, electric fans, washing machine, flat iron.

Sa parent's house (kami rin kasi nagbabayad) 5k ngayong summer (last summer 11-12k).
3 AC (2HP, 1.5HP, 1HP)
5 TVs
1 PC
1 no-frost ref.
+ the usual microwave, oven toaster, electric fans, washing machine, flat iron.

Some stuff that helped bring it down vs last summer:
a. replaced the no-frost ref, with a regular ref.
b. replaced one of the manual 2HP A/Cs with a temp controlled 1HP AC.

Mas tipid ba ang tatlong (3) standard electric fan versus isang (1) 1.5 HP na aircon used in the same duration?

Yes, it seems it would still be. 3 fans should be around 90-180watts, depending on the fan model and air speed selected. A 1.5HP aircon is rated around 1,118watts, but at times patay naman yung compressor (depending din sa cooling setting), so not all the time yun yung power consumed. Just for comparison, lets say 1/4 of the time lang sumisindi yung compressor ng A/C, then roughly average of 280watts pa rin yung A/C.
