this post is only concerned to those living in Malaysia :)
Do you know what contributes to your monthly electricity bill??? For those living in Semenanjung Malaysia, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) tariff is approximately 30 cents to 45 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh), depending on your usage - the more you use, the more expensive the rates !
Below is a table of common electrical appliances, a a rough estimate on how much they cost to run for every hour - cost may seem low but even using 3 cents per hour means that you will be paying about RM20 per month, if an appliance is left on for 24 hours :O
- Fluorescent Lights - 1 cent
- Wireless Router - 1 cent
- ASTRO Decoder + Dish - 2 cents
- Table Fan - 2 cents
- Incandescent Lights - 3 cents
- Ceiling Fan - 3 cents
- Laptops - 5 cents
- CRT (normal) TV - 3 cents
- LCD TV - 7 cents
- Desktop Computer - 9 cents
- Plasma TV - 10 cents
- Washing Machine - 15 cents
- Vacuum Cleaner - 17 cents
- Electrical Clothes Iron - 33 cents
- Electrical Hot Plate - 46 cents
- Air Conditioning - 46 cents
