how much is your monthly electric bill?

less 1K+ or above ng konti samin. Lahat ng appliances na di ginagamit binubunot ko... nag-eat up pa din kasi ng current yon... di na ako nagstore ng food sa ref kaya minsan patay siya. Yung mga labada hang muna habang pinapattuyo para pag plantsa mas madali. Di na rin ako halos nag TV or PC samin.

Yung mga energy saving devicees ba nagwowork ba yun? Yung college prof ko nagexplain na hindi nababawasan ang energy consumption bagkus maximizee lang ang power output nito... sino na nakakagamit sa inyo?

sa amin 1.5k-2.5k

tatlo lng kami sa bahay, may A/C kami pero bihirang bihira gamitin. ref lng lagi bukas, tv and electric fan madalas saka ilaw syempre. ung washing machine bihira gamitin. ung water pump madalas nga din pala gamitin, automatic kse e...mahal ng kuryente!

4k per month maximum (last bill was 3.2k), 2 aircon na maliit (1/3 hp lang) pero halos walang patayan yun.

btw, do you know that an a/c will consume more electricity when it is used less? if you keep the a/c on the whole 24 hours it will consume less power, proven na yan. that is because it takes less energy to keep a room cool continously than to cool it down when it gets hot. if you shut off the a/c then the room gets hot, then the a/c works overtime and at full power cooling the room down when you turn it on. if you keep it running 24 hours then the room stays cool, the a/c only turns on when the room temperature rises but the power consumption is minimal since it does not need to work so much. additionally you can set the thermostat to a higher setting when there is nobody in the room. the room still stays cool and does not get hot, you only need to set the thermostat lower when someone goes in the room.

Tip # 1:
The back of your refrigirator releases great amounts of wasted heat.
You can use that heat to dry your wet clothes. Just hang it within
the free space between the back of the ref and the wall.

Tip # 2:
During rainy season, your roof acts like a giant water collector.
Design one end of your roof drainage to divert the collected rain
water to a receptacle. You can use that collected rain water to
flush your toilet. You can save electricity from your water pump.

Tip # 3:
If you have convenient space outside your house, you can cook
using combustible materials you would normally throw away like
old newspapers, used cartons, and other stuffs. There are cheap
portable ovens you can buy specially for that purpose.

di pala tayo nagkakalayo sa electric bills. here in FL i pay about $120 a month (what is that, about Php 7,000?) for a 4-bedroom house with centralized a/c (set 24 hrs at 75F), two pc's and a refrigerator/freezer that are on all the time, and 100% electric appliances (stove, microwave, oven, dishwasher, clothes washer/dryer)

seems pretty close in absolute terms to what some of your bills look like.
