Wait for this one! After an email from me to them yesterday describing their very bad customer service(cos nobody called me despite their promise), they phoned me- today, when they're closed- it's Sunday!!

Wonders will never cease. Yeah I reckon they're watching this forum.
Hey SP services, if you're reading this- thanks! I now give you the Ozchick stamp of approval!

3 times!!! Woah I had a fit the other day that mine had climbed to S$150 a month.

I only use the aircon at night but have several computers on all day and throughout the evenings.

Perhaps you need to install that Rayburn.

RNT, are you growing cannabis in your black and white? S$1500/month is a lot of electricity!!!

Yes it is...

We mostly only run the air/cons at night as well -- but there are 6 of us. I'll run one or two for an hour or so during the day to dry things out a bit.

We use the dryer a lot as well, but also hang dry as much as we can, probably 2/3 of the laundry is air-dried. Two big refrigerators, dehumidifiers -- it all adds up.

Lights, water heaters are all used sparingly -- we have neighbors that have 6 or 8 flood lights on all night.

You really need to stop re-filling that 50m swimming pool in your back garden every week!

$1500 how?

Actually, I guess it's more like $1,200 or 1,300.

It's not that hard, leave poor RNT alone. Ours is way over $500 a month, more like about $900 or so, and their guestimates are always useless. I don't have any aircons on during the day unless for specific purposes and at night only to cool two bedrooms down for a few hours, then it is just fans. It all adds up when there a few people using everything.

Unfortunately i just got our bill, estimated to November 12th and it's about $300, higher than the previous month of course.

Problem is that between October 10th and November 12th i was probably at home for only 4-5 days with various trips being taken into account. For the past 6-months my meters have been read, and the one month i happen to spend away they give me an estimate

If it doesn't go down to nearly zero next month, after basically pre-paying 1-month the SP will get a right rocket!

If as Ozchick thinks, you are reading this site SP...... be warned, Scooby is not a happy bunny and i'm preparing for a fight!

Worse still is your justification for basing tariffs on 3-Month Futures Oil Prices when most is generated from GAS.

My housemate is the same (except for the water) he has the a/c on all night and does 1/2 loads in the washing machine and then uses the dryer for 2 hours to dry them! But I've decided that if those are his only vices - he is quiet, clean, responsible and considerate - I'll chip in a bit extra...

Ah one thing I don't miss about Singapore, high power bills! Got last month's power bill for my flat here in Shanghai - RMB55, or about S$12.50!

Also very useful information! Shouldn't there be a bit of relief coming through in Q1 next year, with the price of oil plummeting recently?
