YYEEEYYY YYEEYYY WENA DONT TALK TOO MUCH YOU GONNA FINISH THE ELECTRICTY 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[bradleyleibrandt]

I would recommend getting someone a electrician to install temporarily a logger which will recommend your house's electricity usage throughout the day. Also you can check on your municipality bill what tariff they charge you and how much electricity they say you have used and compare the 2.

My dad says that switched geysers on and off uses more power because it is always heating up from cold.

[beaniesatthebeach]

No mara this is helpful, especially the tariff rate info😮

We were being charged roughly R3k per month for electricity (it was just my gran and I) until we switched to prepaid. Now we spend R600 max

Insulate the geyser, invest in a pressure cooker, use wonder bags to cook various foods in place of a slow cooker and to keep food warm. Use hot water bottles over a heater. The hot water bottle heats you whereas a heater has to heat the room. Change all globes to lower wattage energy savers, dont leave all the lights on. Buy energy efficient fridges and freezers. Make sure fridges and freezers are sealing well. Make sure the roof is insulated which helps in winter and summer. Use draft sealers if windows and doors contain gaps.Only heat the amount of water you need in a kettle, this saves electricity too. The more you use the geyser throughout the day the more electricity it will pull to heat the water. Switch of appliances instead of leaving on standby. Cook food in bulk and freeze in batches. For example boil a double/triple quantity of legumes in the pressure cooker. Change the outside lights to solar if possible. All the little things add up

Consider geyser timer, changing globes and shower heads into electricity saving ones. This may contribute towards electricity savings.

She’s not alone, I’ve been feeling same over the recent months, R500 electricity purchase doesn’t last even 10 days, and I only have a fridge, WiFi and gyser, I’m investigating a device that can track what seem to be consuming my power like this. I mean my geyser is timed, 4 to 6am and 4 to 6pm only. I have a gas stove and it makes no difference to the consumption.

Owning a house = Metro bills are high, rates and taxes are ridiculously high, levies high, then still the bond is high..b4 you even think of food or petrol .. you broke 😢life is tough

[MsMandsa]

Gas stove, gas geyser to start with. 😢 but we also paying alot every month.

[mickeymajodina]

Get an electrician to come and check the wiring or switch off everything and check if the the consumtion light stays on

[lemphotsenthebe]

We used to spend 6k on electricity a month, and we switched to gas geyser, and we now spending 1k a month and fill 2 19kg of gas a month, so we save about 2k now

[ShahiedaAhamed]

[sthembilemdluli]
