huh! how much do you pay for your bill in electricity?!

We don't have that much problems as compared to you. Last year we got a raise in the electricity per unit and it is moderate. We used to get a monthly bill of approx. $20-25 on an average basis. However, this month I think it will be more because we used the A/C for the full month from 10 pm to early morning. Also, the bill is on a monthly basis and the reading of the previous month metre reading will be photoed on the bill and we can measure the consumption also. When the elec. board people come to read the monthly unit consumption they will take photos of the reading and will print on a black place of the bill. So, we can make out the reading and unit per amount and can be calculated. They will charge nominal fine if we do not pay within a week time of the disbursement of the bill. For the last 2-3 years, the Elec. board has introduced the new electronic machines hence the possibility of faulty bills are rare in chance. But there are one off cases around. You need to check with the authorities for the reason and take an average of previous 4-6 months bill and if there is a major change in the amount and your consumption is moderate or relatively less, you need to be inspected the meter unit.

Our last bill was 111 but 58 of it was for the water pump, we pay for four houses on that, so our electric was only 53 for the month. We have a 6 bedroom house so that is really good.

I think it's one of two things: 1- A defect in the electricity meter. 2- Increase the price of electricity. If you are sure of your suspicions in the electricity bill, you should call an official from the electricity to check the electricity meter.

Here they keep increasing rate every 3 months, the more you consume you pay at higher rate, i pay 2500 INR per moth it is summer here. You got my mail?

Here in mexico electric is very cheap. I pay like 50.00 us every 2 months here. In the usa in the summer time in las vegas I paid 250-300.00 us dollars.

Hello Every month we expect high electric bill. As of now our electric bill is 6k+, I actually don't watch news so I don't know if there is a price hike..

It varies but we have always had a very high electricity bill. We have a large family but we still don't believe the amounts sometimes. Even when we cut back and turn things off that use electricity, our bill is still too high. We sometimes have a $300-$500 bill if not more. It is very easy to fall behind on the electric bill in our household. In my area there is only one electric company so they have a monopoly. They can practically charge is whatever and there is nothing we can do about it. They have worked out payment plans for us in the past which I am grateful for. I still believe that it is wrong how they have a monopoly and they know that they can charge us whatever for our electricity because we cannot switch to another company. Another company does not exist in our area so we are forced to stay with them. We try to turn off all the lights, T.V.s, fans, dryers, anything that is not in use. We will also unplug things that are safe to unplug. Recently we even thought about hanging our clothes to dry instead of using a dryer to save on electricity. It's just too high for us to pay it so we have to cut back anyway we can.

You power cost seems almost reasonable. My electric bill is roughly $50 a month. That is roughly P2000.00. However it also depends on how much power you are using.

I don't think the electricity consumption in my house is double the figure as last month. As matter of fact, I already try to get to bed early at night, and I didn't plan to spend extra hours in front of the computer either. So, I guess that electricity consumption in my house is decent. If you have doubt on your bill, you should consider call them to re-examine the reading on your electricity.

I pay INR1000-1200 per month and 1500-2000 in hot summer.If your units are too high the bill amount will be higher.Know the rates that they charge you per unit..

We have a fridge, one tv, a dvd player, 3 electric fans and 4 light bulbs. We use the washing machine twice a week and our monthly bill averages at 700php or $17.50. However, since it's summer here and the weather is too hot, our monthly bill for April sky-rocketed to 1200php or $30! Our bill is just normal but we still need to cut down on our consumption because I still think that is too much for a family of 4!

We had just talked about electric bill consumption a while ago and my office mates just had experiencing what are you experiencing right now. Well, for me, I cannot say or I cannot tell something about our bill because I am just living in the boarding house. My boarding fee, water bill are already package while the electric bill is separated and as I noticed we were just paying not greater than $37.5 per month.

Here in Mindanao, our electricity also soar up even though they are many power interruptions the reason behind it that the Lanao lake the source of the electricity level gone down and rotational brownout is applied, more over the price hike is due to fact that to answer the high demands of electricity the NAPOCOR or FEBICO had to buy to other private generating companies just for demands thus, the increase is really needed. So, our price increase was been publicly announce and a public hearing was ask also for the consumers. So, I guess its the best to be informed. right?

This summer since kids are on their vacation, my bills including water and electricity are not surprisingly skyrocketed. I am not surprised at all because we are not fond of going out because of the terrible heat outside so they spend most of the time inside the house watching tv and cds, playing the internet and everything that they do to make our bills so high.

Even I am also in situation where I think I am paying some extra electricity bills. Even though in our flat only two persons(me and my friend) are living, monthly we are getting an amount near to 2000/-. I can't understand how we are utilizing this much electricity. There is no washing machine as it is not in working condition. The only thing that we use is the refrigerator and geyser. For almost half of the day no one will be there in the flat and at those times the electricity consumption is almost zero. Still I didn't get the source of increase in our electricity consumption.

Well, we have received the last bill on consumption elettricd by an amount equal to 175 Euros. It is too much! Almost all due to the fact that my younger brother, who suffers terribly from the cold, he kept his electric heater turned on almost all day. Except perhaps for this particular, we, in my family will not have to pay cospique funds involved in precisely of the consumption of electricity. I should point out, however, that the electrical equipment in our homes, there are many.

We have all electricity so ours is high. We also have long hard winters so it can get up 233 dollars. I looked at a bill from 2002 and it was only 46.00 dollars. I think my daughter had moved and since my husband is hot blooded I just put on more heavy sweaters and kept the heat down so he wouldn't open windows. My daughter is cold blooded so he opens windows now. I check on the windows all the time to see if they are opened and I check on the heat to see if she has turned it way up.

There are seven persons live in my house. And of course the bill of electricity is high enough for the medium level family like us. we spent about Rp 1.000.000,- (1 million rupiahs) or equal to $110 US, or equal to 400 real (Arabia).

in our case in our office it range to 34k to 36k amonth its getting bigger because of summer heat and we used 3 aircons, electric fans in our staff houses, rice cooker each employees the best thing for us is that its all free and unlimeted usage of it so its a privilege for us to have it guys thanks to our company lol

I pay 1000 buys it is much more than what i consume because most of the time weare not at home and we try to save electricity as much as possible but still their is no effect on the bill amount which we pay
