Punishing Summer Heat, Punishing Electricity Bill, SWITCHED BILLS!
The summer of 2010 has just finished and it was unbelievably hot. I feel in the past 5 years this was the hottest one. To make matters worse, unbelievable mistake by the electric company. Last month’s bill was 8,000++ pesos! I panicked and replaced the 2 horsepower airconditioner with a 1 horespower money saver, but this month’s electric bill churned out 13,000++ pesos!!!
What a shocker! For a 1 floor 2 room house we get this bill? Crazy! 1 aircon, 1 fan, 1 computer and a few lights? We actually consumed more electricity than the “main” house? We actually consumed 3x more electricity than my office with 6 computers? Or did we? So I investigated this morning.
I was shocked to find out that the Manila Electric Company bills had erroneously swapped / switched reading our electric meter with the neighbor (a catering company).
