Monthly Electricity Consumption

Rickster said:
Kilowatt hour

Not sure if 1 KW/h = 1 unit, if so then we use 1100 units.

Are you smelting metal? This was our 'worst' month ever with aircons on many hours on end to heat up. Just under 400 units for the month.
 
How much are the Germans paying for 1kwh now? That spike is pretty insane.

EDIT: Seems in France it's now over 1000 Euros per mwh

1100KW/h per month throughout the year.

2 Fridges
Pool pump
Geyser
No heater/AC
Gas heater/stove
Elec. oven

Yet we pay R5k per month, we need to audit this crap billing with CoJ because they "estimate" our meter.

You def wanna audit that.

This is our usage you can see increase over winter

But we have 1 main fridge, 3 fridges used for small micro brewing operation, 1 deep freeze. 2 geysers, elec oven, induction stove. Something def seems waaay too much your side.

How come your neighbour's usage impacts on your account?

Probably because they live in a complex or block of flats where each flat doesn't have their own electricity meter... So the landlord takes the total electricity bill and divides it by the number of flats!
(Is that even legal?)
So, if the top (very) high power user leaves then everyone's bill will go down by a lot.

Something is definitely not right, unless maybe your geyser is outside in an ice cold breeze.

I read that as (Kelvin x Watts) per hour, not sure how I'd convert that to kWh.

Ja. It is pretty pathetic how few people on a technical forum know the SI system and what the symbols should be for many things.

It is all about the carelessness that has crept into language use.

If it's only carelessness that's one thing, I'm more concerned when it shows a complete lack of the fundamental principles of electricity (in this instance). It's akin to when forumites aren't able to differentiate between MB and Mbps.
 
Between 300 and 400, family of 3 adults cooking together, all mayor appliances except oven is gas. Had a gas oven on a cheap upright, I don't know about the more expensive units but that thing cured me from gas ovens for good.

All lights are led, TV is on most of the time, at least one laptop on the power brick and we tend to drink at least 3 cups of coffee a night and one in the morning.
Dishwasher runs daily and laundry about twice a week. Don't use dryer except maybe 3 times a year.

Haha, let's not even get started on how many times I've seen mbs, whatever that is. I'm guessing millibits seconds.

Getting electrical units wrong is one thing, but on a tech forum at least get your tech act together...
