Also did some experiment whether or not to turn off and on the A/C when not in the house for a few hours. #philippines #airconditioner #electricitybill Support me: paypal.me/GeWiBu

    We're building a house soon and probably have split units in a few rooms that will have insulated walls and ceilings to contain the coolness. A better door and double glaced windows in those rooms also a must. That will keep the unit work less and efficient. Definitely no window units. They are the worst

    I use a 0.5 Kw aircon in only one small combined working and sleeping room. It feels only nice and comfortable to walk out from the "cold room" to the hot part of the apartment. I also have a combined fridge and freezer. The electric bill is still always under 1.000 pesos per month. (Luzon) I also turn off the aircon in the "cold room", when I'm not using it. For me it feels just more comfortable and it is also much cheaper to just have one such "cold room" and then let the rest of the apartment follow the outdoor temperature. I think it is hard to have the heat around you all the time, so you cant escape, but when you have the option of cooling down when you want to, than it is just nice.

    @richardwakeley2192 16 дней назад

    This is very interesting information. It is so difficult to judge how much your electric bill may be. So many things, like size of house, number of refs and freezers, air cons, water pumps, exactly how many hours you run those appliances. Also the different price per kwH every month which goes up and down according to the agreements of your local electric company with the suppliers. So, all in all, your excellent comentary is a very big helpful advice to all of us foreiners living in the Philippines. Pls make another video on cost of driving and maintaining your car. Of course there will be some difference between a multicab and a Fortuner.

    @Gregory-Masovutch 17 дней назад

    As long as you are close to an electrical meter for hookup. Otherwise you get line loss and higher consumption to compensate. A voltage regulator helps. Dual inverter is a good way to go. Don’t need aircon this time of year until March.

    • @livinginthephilippines359
      @livinginthephilippines359 17 дней назад

      From the Meter to the house, the line is about 40 Meters long. However, the line is very thick, and I don't think that's causing a problem. I am actually surprised that the bill is still below 4K PHP.

    I’m thinking it’s safer to just rent, preferably long term, flexible and comfortable, as to buying or build, so many hoops to cross and jump through, plus the fact if all does not work out for you and your partner, you lose your house, hard work and money all gone. IMO, Safer to rent and see out your agreement,possibly extend it also, but if all comes to a head, ok ,time to move on and move forward with your life and plans. Thank you for your advice and thoughts.

    Nicely done. I built a small house (27sqm) with family, local labor, run by an experienced Mason as an experiment to see how well they would do. It blew my mind. The only complications we had was needing to fire the assistant Mason. 3 months to build. 9,000 pesos psm, but no expensive finishes; only painting and linoleum floor. Pipe from cr to septic. But it's a little gem.
