How to save electricity?
-
Yes, it only sensible to have a lift for homes at least three storey high. Apart from carrying items, must also bear in mind in case of poor health or in the instance of unwanted accidents, where one just cannot climb the stairs. Though in good health, people may think of it as an impractical accessory. It is also true in financial sense that should the house be put up for sale in future, the lift will be a push/sell factor especially for buyers with extended families and/or elderly.
Harlequin babe, apart from looking at changing to energy-saving bulbs and swapping to electrical appliances with better energy conserving features, I find that $1100 per month for a home with central air-conditioning, more bathrooms, daily cooking and laundry washing (etc) is a moderate amount. The monthly expenses forked out cannot be measured against a regular HDB but if one wants to look at it in apple to apple comparison, one storey of similar landed property can be somewhat a size of a regular HDB unit or even bigger, the raw breakdown of $300+ per floor is not considered anywhere exorbitant. A regular HDB unit with heavy/all-day air-conditioning may amount to a similar range.
A dryer’s usage also adds as to how much more one pays for the monthly expenses. Some families dump immediately from washer to dryer and such cycle may last what like 2 hrs or so depending on how heavy the load is. But for families who indoor-dry prior to dumping in the dryer, they may see significant decrease in those month-end numbers.
As for fridges, it’s more common these days to see families owning two (fridges) in a HDB unit as compared to before. There may be more people living in the house or may have bigger diet. An aunt who does private catering apart from selling at a school canteen invested in a freezer chest to maximize storage so she doesn’t hafta keep running grocery errands every other day.
Personally, I find your $ output of an average of $1.1k a month for your household and occasionally fluctuating to $1.5 gees when you have guests in the house or doing a month of heavier entertaining, the amount is not that starkly exorbitant if you look at the big picture. -
