We use a/c in two rooms, the office and the bedroom. The office for maybe an average of 2 hours per night, and the bedroom around 8-10 hours daily. Our cost per month is normal 2100-3000 per month.
Same here.
A/C around 8 hrs. every night, on from Friday 6 pm until Mon 5 am. I have them set at 76 degrees-more than cool enough for me. Remember they are inverter; when I had my conventional ones I paid around 1800-2000 a month.
I wash 4 loads of laundry every week. Gas dryer.
Here's what was published about the high rates in El Caribe today:
Electricity distribution companies Edenorte, Edesur and Edeste announced that estimated billings are being corrected after many customers complained after receiving significant increases in their bills.
In a joint statement, the distributors explained the reason for the increases reflected in the invoices of regulated and non-regulated customers.
"As a result of the effects of the health crisis we have experienced since mid-March, the distributors, covered by the General Electricity Law (125-01), partially made estimated invoices, which are being corrected after the conditions have allowed our readers can do the corresponding readings ”, explained the distribution companies.
Regarding customer complaints through the media and directly to their offices, due to billing in many businesses and industries that have remained without productive activity, they explained that this has happened with customers whose contracts have contracted power, as established in resolutions SIEC-237-98, and the subsequent ones issued by the Electricity Superintendency, "for which they have been invoiced with a minimum service payment".
They noted that in many cases "we have already reached partial payment agreements and we are looking for a collective solution for them."
Regarding residential service, they expressed that “all our residential customers who received electricity 24 hours before the pandemic have consumed more electricity, and even more those who did not enjoy this service, since their consumption has been higher, which it makes a higher billing and in some cases, the price per kilowatt is more expensive, as it changes in the rate scale ”.
The distributors recalled that they have not cut the service to their customers and users, nor will they, for lack of payment or due to a claim invoice while this situation remains.
"In fact, we are providing payment facilities," said the companies in their statement.
