EDITED TO ADD WATER HEATER

Hi guys,

Need so input on electricity consumption. I just got my TNB bill and it costs me RM710.40 from 15 May to 15 June. What did I use that could make my bill go so high? Previously, in my old condo, my average bill was RM350.

Back ground information.

I just moved to alam impian in April
It is a 2 story intermediate.
Major electrical items:-

York inverter aircond 1hp x 3 sets = I only use 2 air conditioners from 10pm to 8am (10hours) and from 2pm to 4pm(2 hours) at temp 26c at the lowest fan.
Acson normal aircond 1hp x 2 sets = hardly use
Acson normal aircond 2hp 1 set = hardly use
Grundfos water pump 1.5hp = 1 set which I keep on 24 hours 7 days a week
Electrolux clothes dryer = +/-6 hours a week
Rubine brand built in oven which I use +/-5 hours a week
Rubine brand hood which I use everyday for +/-3 hours a day
Deep oil fryer (no brand) which I use +/- 1 hour a day
LCD 50 inch tv which is kept on from 8am to 10pm (14 hours) everyday (kids)
KDK ceiling fan I use 1 which is kept on from 8am to 11pm (15 hours)
Toshiba 700liter inverter fridge

FORGOT TO ADD:-
1 STORAGE WATER HEATER 35 LITERS
1 STORAGE WATER HEATER 50 LITERS
BOTH USED SPARINGLY

Those I think are the major electrical items which I use daily.
As for the lights in the house, I use 18watt LED downlights for the whole house.

Please help. I need to figure out what is causing such a high electricity bill.

Granite versus Quartz

ajai@jakes — Tue, 01 Oct 2013 11:14:15 +0800

Hi Guys,

I was just wondering what is the difference between quartz and granite? so far, from my discussion with a KC guy, he mentioned quality is about the same but the colours are different, being quarts are available in lighter colours whereas granite is available mostly in dark colours.

I also got a quotation from a KC maker here in Lowyat Forum of RM185 for granite/ quartz. The price is the same for both materials.

Is the price ok or is it too high?

What do i start first

Hi guys,

I need some opinions on which should i start first:-

1. Wiring (installation of new light sockets, wall plugs (kitchen for electric oven and bedroom for storage water heater), readjustment of lighing sockets, fitting of new lights, wiring for unifi and cctv etc)
2. Plumbing (insertion of copper piping of hot water from storage water heater, water pump, outside water filter)
3. Kitchen cabinets and wardrobes for bedrooms
4. Plaster ceiling
5. Grills for door and windows

Hope you guys can give me some idea of where to start first. Currently, the house is going thru the defects correction by the developer.
