      How much is your PUB bill each month? My monthly bill used to hover around $180, but recently started to increase..... alll the way to $290 last month!


      No major change in lifestyle. Anyone experienced the same?
      $180?? That's pretty good. Mine averages around $300 per month.

      But yes, peaks are quite normal. Have you turned on your aircon more often last month due to the heat?

        Which part has shot up?

        If the electricity , then like Chief mentioned it can be due to air con.
        If water, check for leaks. A leaking tap/flush tank drains a lot of water.

                Er.... :scared: I know mine is low compared to some folks' but... Very low meh? When we were living in a 4rm flat a few years back, our bill was around $50+? It went up to $60+ to $70+ the month we upgraded to a new place.

                I think the following helps
                - We hardly on the aircon (only when the weather is very hot or when hubby just return from very cold places). Our electricity consumption is about $30-$40 per month.
                - we change all the lightings to energy saving ones when we shifted in.

                  Pls do share how you manage to keep yr pub bill so low. Mine is $300. :moneyflies: A family of 5, 5 rm flat. Thx.[/quote]Ours is a small family - 2 adults and 1 preschooler. I think this is an impt factor. Just water usage alone, I believe mine is lesser than yours. Our water consumption is about $12-14. Yours leh?

                  When you hv more members and/or different age group in the family, there are different activities going on at the same time. These different activities may mean more electricity consumption. Like parents watching tv, Children working on separate laptops/computers, how many handphone charging at home? How many aircon turned on at home every day?

                    It is easy to analyse your data. Just have to take out your bills that are reflecting $180 vs $290, and lay them down side by side. You should be able to filter out the effects of rate changes (unit cost) vs volume changes (quantity used)...

                        I think the tariff rate of hdb flats and pte properties are different too? Does anyone know if condo and landed properties are charged different tariff?
