Turn Off The Air Conditioner Please

Our electricity bills for the past 3 months have been soaring high. This is usually the case during the hot season when the air conditioner will be turned on throughout the night in the girls’ room and ours. While hubby isn’t really complaining yet, I find that paying over RM400 a month just on electricity bill is throwing our budget off. I told the girls that very soon the air conditioner will be turned off after 2 hours once their room is sufficiently cooled. Thereafter the ceiling fan will be turned on. Air conditioners are really eating into our electricity bill. But we need to get the ceiling fan in the girls’ room fixed as it’s now not in proper working condition The ceiling fan is only slightly over a year and it’s already conking out. If it is irreparable, we may look for some Minka Aire fans to replace it.

    We only on the air-con if it is really too hot. If that day had rained before, we only on the fans in both the daughters and our own rooms. Too much air con is also not good for health, especially my children are having sensitive noses and lungs.

    What’s the air-con temperature? You can save a bit by putting the air-con temperature to 25-27 degree.

  3. I put to 22C.. 25-27 is very stuffy for me, I’d rather have the fan. yes.. electricity bill of 400 is high for condo living.

    Try having the fan on at the same time as the aircon..cools a lot faster, then, turn off the aircon. When I lived in a 650sq ft apt in HK, I had only one aircon unit in the living room. I would have the unit on, leave the bedroom door open, have the fan in there on and it cooled down well no matter how hot or humid.
