1 powder room, 1 common toilet at second floor, 1 maids toilet at basement plus 5 rooms ensuite... But only use 3 out of 5 rooms toilet, 2 closed up.
I guess it's the big bulk goes to the centralized air conditioning plus our ground flour ceiling is almost 6m in height, even staircases are fitted with aircond darts... :slapshead:
To shun mosquito and all other flying insects, all windows and floor windows are shut after 6pm and ground floor aircond is turn on till bedtime, sometime DDs playing at second floor's sitting area and utilized aircond too.
Also we have 3 refrigerators :slapshead: stuff with all sorts of nonsense, must ask maid to clear tomorrow.
Will changing to LED bulbs helped to cut electricity comsumption? -

We don't even turn on the swimming pool's pump often, only turn on 2hrs before DDs swim on Tuesday and Thursday. The lift also rarely use, only use for less than 10x per month... -

Normally, a fridge is not highlighted as a major energy grubber by most website that promote energy saving.
Hee hee i was not entirely joking. I read somewhere that the fridge is among the most electricity-consuming appliances at home, together with aircon (if you use it a lot), kettle, heater, etc. But of these, the fridge is guaranteed to be the most heavily-used, so it costs a lot to 'sustain' it.
The fridge also needs to cool to much lower temp cf aircon, so i'm sure it uses more electricity, although the aircon does need to cool a much larger volume.
Althou a fridge maintain a much lower temperature, it is in fact very efficient because it is possible to design a very effective insulation, something that is not possible with air-con. Just touch the fridge, does it feels cold outside? if not, that means the heat insulation of the wall is very effective. If it is not effective, it will feel cold.
Take the example of a Styrofoam cup and a metal cup and pour cold drinks into it. If the outside of the cup feel cold, means heat is rapidly transferred, means poor insulation.
But of coz, if you open the fridge very frequently, all the savings from effective insulation goes to naught. -
