Wah Wah i suspect maybe SP made mistake on my bill. I rarely use dryer 

No la.. Our house aircon only turn on after 10pm.. Tv also seldom turn on de.. Fridge must choose energy efficient ones cos its 24/7 turned on.

Around these quantities for many years for 2 pax.

Electricity - 220 units (1 aircon blower on for around 1 hour at 26 degrees daily), or if weather hot, then around 330 units for 1 aircon blower for around 7 hours. Usually $40+ (220 units not under SP) or $50+ (300+ units). Water heater is gas.

Water usually 10 Cu M or so. Spend a bit more here as 1 week at least 5 - 6 loads of full load laundry.

Gas around 50kWh - daily breakfast cooking and water heater (which I find is more expensive than those instant water heaters)

Monthly bill usually ~$110 (no aircon) but with non-SP electricity provider, has dropped around $15-$20 per month.

Aircon is on for 7-8hrs at 24 degrees and TV is on 3 hours. 

Cook lightly 2 times a week.

 24 too cold for me .... I do 26 mainly 😁

Air con is one of the main killers or electricity.

 

We practice to on AC while sleeping for 2 to 3 hours only and turn of the fan after that. Save us quite a lot.

I dunk 500ml drink bottles into the water tank of the toilet bowl. As long as it does its job effectively job with the minimal amount of water required the access resources can be saved to be used by all other Singaporeans. I also install aerators into the faucet cos the wife can't regulate the taps well. They are either open to the max or close.

Mine is abt 130-150 for 5adults 2 children. Uses aircon for all 3 rooms at night when sleeping. Front load washer and also a dryer. 

This is very low, is your aircon system 2 plus system 1 or system 3?

Erm.. total 3 fan coil units. The living room dont have. Most nights will turn on aircon but usually after 10pm. my latest electricity bill is $87.88.. plus water and conservancy charges, in total is about $120-130+.. My aircon all turn on at 25-26 degrees 1. no need to cover with blanket. just nice for me.

In our hot and humid weather, a 'cold' shower is not only good but save $. I notice many people bathe in hot shower despite our warm weather. They are also using storage tank heater instead of instant heater even though they don't wash their dishes in hot water or have bath tub. Something you guys may wish to consider.

Haha, wah admirable bill. Electricity with 3 fan coils ,  at $87.88 is very low even assuming you are using a single compressor to drive 3 coils, not forgetting fridge, cooker, iron,  washing machine etc. In fact dryer is a electricity sucker also .
