How Much Is Our Electric Bill In The Philippines? Filipina Wife SHOCKED!

- This month's electric bill is just too much. We've got to cut back on a few things. I'm already eyeing the electric rice cooker as a potential candidate to RIF (reduction in force).

Your wife cracks me up with some of the faces that she makes love your show
Yes, it shows why he finds her attractive.
yes she's a hoot!! as most Filipinas are!!
Much higher in the provinces. My Meralco bill in Manila is usually always ₱4K ($70), and I’m running an automated home with server, lighting, fans, dehumidifier, robot vac, split AC, 65” TV, cold water dispenser, air fryer, ref, instant pot, washer/dryer and kettle.
A dehumidifier is a good idea
You right I need my AC my electric bill run around 7,000 to 9,000 a month,I have a split unit in my bedroom stay on all day two floor fans 2 electric burner but I am comfortable. could I get it down sure,but I'm not going to give up my AC,I'm enjoying my retirement with my beautiful Phillipina wife and daughter our 3 dogs and one cat living it up in davao del Norte,tagum city.
Marcus here in Florida I'm spending $300 a month for electricity, but no Brown outs.
I'm in Florida as well. $100 a month in summer time, $60 in winter
Mark, the rice cooker IS NOT the energy drainer, believe me. That heating element is small and outpout relatively little. It's a combination of energy draw, especially, as you pointed out, the air con.
Also, if you have any water heater in the house, that is a larger draw, by far. All other things aside, comfort is primary. Just moniter your usage, and make temp adjustments as needed.
Those rice cookers pull about 1000 watts. We eliminated use of that and a kettle and pulled our bill down quite a bit.
* ALSO = Vampire Voltage = Any device w/a Remote Control 0r Stand-by
activation creates a Slow steady Drain on electrik feed $$
* Separate 0n / 0ff switches = its that Simple Sim0n , yer switches Co$t$ are
recovered in N0 time .. .0r Ewe cud B - upset.!
You should try from time to time ; UNplug all cords & Go to Observe the meter.
Dead standstill is ALL you shud see no spinning .
~ IF still spinning You have power leakage. . 👋💰💰
I use a rice cooker for 2 - 3 people and it use only 350 Watts when cooking.
If someone is used to a 150 peso electric bill and then you add a rice cooker… guess what? The rice cooker is a huge energy drain. Especially when you eat as much rice as they do here in the Philippines. Just sayin 😎
The rice cooker probably costs 10-20¢ per use if you unplug it when it's done cooking.
Think about it Marko when people send in bad comments they are talking about there self there life is miserable loving the videos keep ‘em coming we watch em all
Fatima was more touchy feely than ever! Keep that AC unit runnin!!
I have a one bedroom with split aircon, big fridge, icemaker, lot of gadgets, etc in Mandaue City. My bill is usually 10,000 too. I usually only turn the aircon off if I leave. To me it is worth it to be cool.
I have 2 heat pumps. My average bill every month is $450. But I'm very comfortable. Spend it now traveler's checks are not gonna work later.
If you want to spend dollars now, you should buy food
I don't have aircon here in the states. We use a whole house fan to draw cool air into the house at night. I've done that all my life, learned it from my parents. I've never seen any videos of people doing that in the Philippines.
Small Refridge and split aircon always a win . Air con a small bedroom can save huge and running it when ever needed . Sleeping out in open air on second or third story roof deck during the night . No mosquitos , breeze , radiant floor tiles . Solar is nice for brown outs . I pay more than 3 dollars but am always looking to pay less .
Will mosquitoes not fly to the second or third floor
@@nevergiveup-db6fpthey may
Western style should also include dishwasher, automatic washing machine, 40 gallon hot water tank clothes dryer and microwave and induction cooktop and many other things I think you may not have.
Not bad, my October bill was 17k. Installed 5kw solar for 550k and got excited to see my bill was only 6k this month. Big house though with 3 ac units, 2 fridges and 6 residents. My poor brother in law nearly fainted when he saw the first bill since he's been in the house alone paying 800 a month for a year. Then when I whipped out 18k and told him to go pay and get himself a tank of gas on the way home he started laughing like he'd gone looney.
Locals don't get that I don't give a damn, I'm gonna be comfortable in my house. If it costs me $300usd a month I'm only $75 over my old bill in the states. Take away my $200 water bill, insane insurance rates, and all the taxes we paid and I'm still saving a fortune.
I'm with you there. My highest bill was 30K. Getting solar in my new place. I am going for a 10kw system with batteries, though. I want to be virtually electric bill free once I stop working at the end of this year.
@sgtm7 my goal was to be bill free, but my translator (wife) didn't clearly communicate that to the solar people. So instead of the 20 panels and 10k battery bank with large capacity transformer, we got 12 panels, 15k batteries, and a 5k transformer. Still great knowing in 3 years it pays for itself, but to upgrade I'm looking at another 260k pesos. Figure we will revisit it in 2 years, as other projects and keeping an emergency fund are higher priorites for me.
One thing for sure to cool your home is raise your ceiling about 2-3 feet and have plenty of vents. Its like the rocket-stove concept it cycles the stagnant air. Also it also helps to have insulation on the roof. We did that change on our homestead and we barely use our electric fan ever since.
Your right. Roof insulation. Heat rises have a vent up top. I’ve done that in my place
Holy crap! I live in a 5 bedroom 4 bath house with dual zone heat and air and our highest bill this past summer running air condition 24 hours a day at 70* was $170! Dang! That’s crazy!
Yep. Electric is expensive in the Philippines. It isn't so much the electric cost, though. The amount of your bill that is fees is ridiculous(at least in Angeles).
I live in a 60 square meter house in Malolos area. I have 2 air cons, 2.5 and 2.0, refrigerator, tv and electric cookers (InstaPot, toaster, air fryer, etc.). I have a gas stove/oven. My bills are as follows, 10k electric, 1k H2O and fiber internet 2.5 k. I run my air cons 24/7, set at 23°. I budget 80k per month for everything.
The setting on the AC is also very important. If set high enough the AC units is just another fan running. We set our AC to maintain a temperature of about 28c/82f. With lowered humidity 82f is comfortable. One wall downstairs and split upstairs. Our bills are in the low 7's pesos. About 12.5 pesos per Kwh. One downside of a split AC is they do not bring in outside fresh air.
When I used to live in Angeles City, my electric bill was around 12k/month. 8K of that was the actual usage and 4K were all bs fees Angeles Electric tacked on.
I found out at my apartment a neighbor had tapped into my electric line my bill was kinda high, I had aomeone check my line and low and behold a neighbor was stealing my electricity. I confronted them and almost got into a fight, but like all Flippos, they denied even with photos they denied, Filipinos are liars from hell, never trust them, and I used to help them now I don't even talk to them anymore.
Yeah. I had a 14k bill in Palawan. Paleco keeps raising the rates and have alot of BS fees. I mean I can afford it, but I don't like getting ripped off either.
Can you tell me if I'm renting a little apartment and I pay 48 pesos per kwH, is that normal ? It was before 43… now 48 and the owner told me next month it should be 2 more so 50. I'm living in Cebu city. I never saw the original bills of the electric company,.only her hand writing. I think I'm getting betrayed
@@telmoramoz7638 .48 pesos per kWh is almost double. You’re getting robbed.
hello good sir i know you dont want to hear this but i retired from army in 2012 im only 1 year older then you and hey go ahead and get them va compensation claims filed im not sure if manila has a claims department or not im just talking always keep in mind guys are getting 10% for tinnitus thats about $250 a month just something to think about sir
Hot dog grabbing leads to more sweating or more air conditioning usage. My guess is that the air con bill goes up a bit and the hot dog vendor is happy. Good video and I vote for staying comfortable while you are working.
You can get efficient window type units with inverters. My house is 160 sqm with 3 window units. But 2 of those are in guest rooms. But our bedroom unit runs 24/7 but is a new inverter type. Downstairs, we have one of those floor standing units that is 2 hp. But I run it a 30c, and it freezes me out. We have 2 tv's, 2 refrigerators, 2 heater units for showers, and 3 fans that run. Our bill is about 7K pesos.
2 window shakers running non stop not bad..Led TV..Computers etc are next to nothing
Get solar to reduce bill............check ecoflow products for panels and batteries........might be good investment once installed so u can move it after
Actually check Inergy. Modular. Add more Batteries, UPS Module, Super Charger, and more Panels. Take the base unit somewhere for a project or to charge your equipment at the Relatives.
@@StormbladeX69 Tht sounds like the EcoFlow Ultra....will need to check to compare price........need 220V in Philiy which EcoFlow just added with the Ultra line product.
@@amowatt01 Ah yes. I need to see if it's 220 compatible. If so you can expand up to 96 Batteries. Let me know what you find out also. Thank you.
Solar would make sense if he wasn’t renting and didn’t move so much.
@@will_274 Inergy is extremely Portable, including the panels.
Yup electric every where is huge.gas gas gas ....yup ... ceiling fans ... window coverings .. tell us the outside temperatures your living in each month ....what is the roof at your place made of ? do they ever paint the tin roofs with white special paint you use on trailer roofs ... there to defelect the heat ?
Like Mark said, split units are much better for the power usage and also very important, the noise level. you can not hear split units at all when you are sleeping, however, the window units have kept me awake at nights sometimes. I have been here full time since May, my bills have went down, from around 3000 my first three months here to last months is a little over 2000. If you keep your weight in check , you will get more use to the climate here, and enjoy it more.
I left PH and moved to Cambodia. I don't need aircon here so Im saving a lot. I used to run my aircon 24/7 in PH and I was stilll warm. Getting the aircon serviced and cleaned monthly too, so thats another 1K. Now in Cambodia Im not even tempted to turn it on. Also the housing is 2X value in space and building materials and location. The food is 4X value with international choices and high quality ingredients, free maid service, free WIFI, no traffic, professional spacious well-built businesses open late/all night! (...not closed at 9 or 10pm, or when the owner is tired), and all those thousands of things in the PH that caused me severe stress, don't exist here.
That 3k-6k a month I save by not needing aircon, goes a long way in Asia.
Rice cooker don’t take a lot of electricity.Water heater and dryer takes a lot of electricity and aircon.Wow your electricity is pretty cheap .My electric bill this month is $230 because of cold weather
the electric fun is strong with electricity same with us before ..what i did is i didn't use the electric fun i bought a ceiling fun in the market and that reduced our bill..
My past electric bill here in Central Florida was $50.13 just in taxes. The KW used was 3,053KW at .17 per KW With the Meter reading charge of $12.51 and the fuel charge and other fees on the bill with the usage charge was $560 total. Cooler months could be as low as $200. So your electric bill is cheap compared to Western lifestyle living. BTW a rice cooker uses only about 3 cents to cook a pot of rice. Look at the wattage on the cooker and figure the time it is cooking and divide by your electric rate and you will see it is cheap to cook rice with the electric rice cooker.
I am north of Tampa $180 in summer and $110 in winter. My place is new so pretty energy efficient.
a rice cooker running for 20-30 minutes twice a day isn't your problem. that comes out to only about $4 max a month.
I lived in an apartment, in the Philippines, where the local neighbors were stealing the power and water of that apartment. You need to be careful with that stuff because it's not illegal in the Philippines to do so.
Why it's not illegal ? Of course it should be if you have a rent agreement
@@telmoramoz7638 an in-law of mine works for the city CDO told me it happens all the time, it's a very common thing, it happened to me, and it is not illegal. the city workers have to constantly come out and disconnect them. only for them to reconnect them soon as they leave. that's the Philippines for you.
In the province, you pay cano prices for 3rd world service. I can deal with the cano price per kilowatt hour, but it would be nice if some of my money went for line maintenance. Maybe eliminate some of the constant brownouts.
great stuff brutha. you sound my people here in Michigan USA. i grew up in an Italian American family. we were always looking for ways to shave off some living expenses. im 68 years old and still think like you do. you keep it simple and make it fun to watch you and your family. keep up the good work😂🙏
Hi Mark and Fatima!! The Utility Bill $189.98 for one month! And $127.16 The month before... In Ohio right now it's Absolutely Freezing So my Utility Bill for One Month was the Highest it's Ever Been Before it was $80.. But I get it, You Must Stay Cool when It's So Hot and Here in Winter You Must Stay Warm!! PAYING BILLS TOTALLY SUCKS SO BAD!! 😂😊
Live from new York.our electric bill is around $325 a month.heating oil is around $4.50 a gallon we have a 250 gallon tank.
OMG! I am living here in Thailand. I own my 3 bed 2 bath home with a pool and AirCon in every room. My electric bill has never been over $80 a month. I have never had the power go out.
buy solar fan and put ice blocks in front of the fan
My girlfriend in Cavite Imus. Last month was 15000 P.
has to keep Tonio"s cool while they lay pipe
220 a month here in Oklahoma to keep from freezing! I’m already in operation hurry the hell up to move to the Philippines.
Yep, I remember some of those OK electric bills. The cost per kilowatt hours seems very comparable to what we had in OK.
Yep, a guy's higher electric bill is directly related to the appliances that are left on constantly.
Whoa Wait What you're saying the more electricity you use the higher your bill? Sounds like you're on to something.
When I Was Last There In 2018 Was Paying 10,000p Electric And 5,000p Rent , 1 Tank Of Propane , 400p Water A Month ! 🙄🙄🙄🤣🤣🤣
4 hundred was the highest I’ve ever paid. That was last summer with almost 90 days of 100 plus temps and no rain.
Beach house only both of 2 staying. Now u have 4 staying. Its good & comford for ur family. Maybe can plan to install a solar power generator. No more brownout and save a bit electricity too.
That's better then my 244.00 dollar heating bill for December.
I live in Taguig City, Manila, living western. 3 bedroom high rise, we run a portable air con in the office at night & run a window unit in one room during day use a fan to distribute. Place stays cool enough. We turn light out when we leave a room. Monthly electric $10,900 Pesos ($213.00 U.S.)
just paid my light bill in Atlanta Georgia 334 U S D thats about 18 370 PHP at 55 peso to the dollar
Building a home with 7 Split Con a/c's. Will supplement with solar power.. stay cool my friend. Your bill seems high.. In my small 35sqm house I run a 1.5HP split 24/7.. rice cooker, refrigerator, Cold water cooler, 55" TV, PS5 video console with 2 kids, Computer and monitor, and more.... our bill is about 4500 to 5000P. In the province.
Been watching you for about three weeks now and enjoy your chanel. Heard some comments on your backyard talk and drinking. All that I see is a guy that loves and looks after his family. All of your videos are spending time with all of your family and friends. I live in Toronto Canada and just saying keep it up. You are a great family man.
It's so nice to see you guys close like that. I'm very happy for you two...❤
Province 1550 sq ft house, 2 split air con, refrig, washer, coffee pot, ceiling fans, pool pump, 4 dawn to dusk LED lights, Koi pond water oxygen pump, pressure tank with 1 HP elec motor- my bill runs 14-15K peso per month
8k with 24/7 ac
But some water bottles and freeze. And place around the 🏠 house.it will cool off the premises.😮
Here in My Daanbantayan house , we paid 11k electric. But have 3 split air, a giant refrigerator and big screen tv.
Sad part is to see the line of people to pay the electric bill on last day before cutoff.
You would think they were giving out free rice.
I was amazed how fast they cut people off! It’s 72 hrs after due date here in Bohol! 🤣
My bill in Bago City is around 4,000 php. Two aircons but both are split units. One runs all day the other only when we are home. I have no problem with 4000 php…😅
Dude my electric bill just for the farm not my primary house was $181
My electric bill monthly in Muntinlupa City southeast of Manila is around P6000 - P7000 per month. That's in a good size house. 3 refrigerators, one 1.5 hp split ac unit. I use my Xbox series x almost all day to watch TH-cam play games, Netflix etc. I don't mind the high bill. I'm retired military and collecting Social Security too. Love it here.
husband speaking age 81 still holding down the fort in Vistamar Resort, Lapu Lapu. Elect. bill - ours average 5 to 6 k pesos.
a month. We only use it at night, some times in two bedrooms. During the day we use a large stand up floor fan. I could not
live here without AC at night. Right now it is 11:30 am and the wind is blowing pretty good so the doors are open and the
house is cool. The other video on noise - the parade going down the road in front of your house. No parades in the resort
but the noise and parades are evident out on the main road and in Mactan New Town for the Sinulog celebration. My wife and
I saw the very first one in 1970 having no idea then what it would turn into today.
Awww “thank you for watching” sounded great! You’re welcome. Thank y’all for sharing.
There are newer inverter type ac units that are way more efficient but are close to a mini split. They're about 300$ here.
paint roof white/ will reflect sun. if any of your a/c are in-wall box units, replace with efficient split units. also, a temperature-controlled roof vent fan would constantly move the hottest air out of the unit
The month of Jan. here in Bean Station Tn. USA. cost me $311.84. but we had a week+ of temps under 25F. down to -10F.
This is why i spent 5000 usd completely renovating our house in GenSan. New roof,ceiling and insulation all around among other things. Havent got the first electric bill yet but im expectig at least a 40% saving. I also noticed (in general) the windows here are anything but air tight. Also in the US a $200 light bill is normal, hell.....in Texas it blows up to $300+++ in summer
Rookie numbers! We live in Thailand. Typical SE Asian house with two split ACs, 4500W instantaneous water heater, two-server cluster and zero insulation. For the first three months the meter reader refused to leave our bill because she thought there was a problem with the meter. Our first bill was 6100THB/$175 for 1200 kwh. At $0.136 per kwh it's not too bad compared to the west but still expensive for the average Thai.
Tip for laptop...buy a USB keyboard. plug that into the laptop and type on that. Only good while at home, at a desk. Way more comfortable than the tiny laptop keyboard. Spill on it, sweat, whatever, and you buy another keyboard. Super cheap, $15-30. I'm a software engineer and wear keys down to not being useable pretty fast. Ruin a $20 keyboard or a $1500 laptop. Same with the mouse. Works way better. Wireless keyboard and mouse works good too.
In TN the heat bill was 30k in Philippines this is because I stayed in Puerto Rico for nearly all of January and my 87 year old mother has friends over all the time running 2 HVAC units 1 gas and 1 electric nonstop
(Living lavida loco tune)
🎶Livin just like a local🎶
Window inverter is efficient. Personally don't li,e the split type. Very hard to clean and maintain.
Just get the split Aircon, then no more haven to figure out things
Electricity in the Philippines is way higher than in the west. Have a great day .
@tinaraphael9873 that was true before 2022, but in Europe power prices soared - rate per kwh in UK is now almost 60 percent more than philippines - blame it all on Putin's war against Ukraine and Biden's energy policies
Bull S
$189.98 is still way cheaper than my electric bill here in Texas. It averages close to $500 in the summer. Using two window air conditioners and fans. And during the peak of summer it’ll only cool the room down to 86F during the day. $189.98 is an electric bill between early fall and early winter when heat and air aren’t being used.
Yo Over I know what you saying. I live 2 hours north of Angeles City here in Pangasinan and we have 2 fans and the split top AC unit is in our bedroom our last electric bill was about 1800 P and Filipina had a major fit 😂😂😂
Funny thing is your current electric bill is our grocery bill each month 😂😂😂
Hey brother Mark it was nice to see the two of you kind of being affectionate. It was cute. Don't sweat on the keyboard. Pennsylvania reporting.
My electric bill here in northern calif, in a regular size house is in these winter months is about 250.00, we have an electric hot water heater, gas stove, heat comes from a pellet stove, 210.00 a month.
The more I watch the more I love this channel. I have a 2000sqft house in Philippines and had in laws stay for 2 months. Electric bill went from 5k to 13k plus they broke our new rice cooker, electric stove, glasses and a few dishes. Glad they finally left. My wife was more pissed off at them then me. 😂
I live alone in arkansas, US. My power bill was $44 in march. Always stays well below $100 until i crank on the AC in summer.
But shop fans are great if you don't mind the noise.
I have a 2.5 horse power split aircon and I let it run 24/7 and our first bill was 19,689 pesos .
mark you are lucky in Chicago i pay 190$ in the summer for AC and 190$ in the winter for heat.
Do your appliances and aircon units have inverters? Makes a huge difference.
Momma Tima didn't like the stinky fish comment ! 😜
Solar,wind,water power, plus gas,diesel & propane generators for home, garage and workshop we have. But dont use aircon much due to natural breezes... but on demand hot water heaters are a must for me. my🔋are full even in the rain and we can now run 12 days on just batteries all before something has to start recharging the system. total loss for 12 days is 46% with 30% as a back up reserve,,10 % is total emergency.... my land electric bill less then $3⁰⁰ for the service fees and taxes only.and a street light at the road entrance..I'm not effected by brownouts. I have 24/7 power. The stored energy is at 💯 of 10k watts.that never seems to drain down. And water energy are @ 87% on the dry days of low flow. Water storage after filters 2k gallons in fresh tanks and 500 gals for toilets ( I'm spoiled.. I like hot showers & my ladies like warm baths. ) though they amaze my by still washing most their clothes by hand.😤😕. Mind you.. some of this energy is given to the farms that surround me.. and in return I have support of resources I don't have to supply outside of my compound... win /win for me,my crew and my community... and I have peace and quiet 🤫 with no drama..my house is positioned in a way i don't hear anything but nature... no chickens ,no dogs, no karaoke, My cook has early morning pick of fish & meat. Every day. And I have a free supply of all the chicken meat and egg I can handle. Not to mention the large amounts of fruits and vegetables trees 😋..
Get you a projector.. turn that big wall into a theater screen and show movies outside.. 😊
9K was my last bill here in Subic Town.
4000php Angeles -I use one or two lights, hardly any TV, refrigerator, power sockets for charging and the laptop. Air-conditioning unit is definitely the culprit.
3 split ac 1.5 kW , 12500 peso , all the rest of our stuff is not enough to count, I know this because I put in solar power and have a hybrid inverter that shows the power of each device. now the bill is under 2,000 peso
Amazing how cheap that is! You’re a great provider, father and husband my friend. 😎
I have an AC unit in the bedroom and I have a big screen TV , I run the AC most of the day my bill is usually about 6000
My EL bill is ca 3500 pr month no air con
Great video King! That would be me. I need the Air Con
The rice cooker has a kilowatt per hour usage rate. You can do the math and multiple with the price per kilowatt-hour. A rice cooker is on less than an hour. I vote for the mango grenades.
I lived on Clark afb as a teenager. We only had fans. I was very comfortable!
AC wall unitS not very efficient and I guesd single pane window and no insolation in wall and roof or ceiling. Just for fun I compared price in Thailand for 908 kwh. 3,935.60 THB , 110.61 USD 6,177.73 PHP. Editing and making money with TH-cam is worth the expense.
winter in minnesota this month cold been pretty mild but all year average 135 dollars a month utilities water electric sewer garbage and 130 natural gas
68 winter heat 74 summer AC
Hey Marcus u are so kind to ur wife family, and by the way children and a good man that take care of ur family. God bless you all
My bill in Wisconsin is $160-220 per month. I don't think it's out of line if you want to live comfortably
You need to get you a solar powered system that would really cut your electric bill down trust me I’m a licensed electrician here in the states get your 48 V solar power system with 436 V solar panels that would cut down your power bill
I'm listening on your explanation dude.. TRUE👍🤗😊Same here we almost paid P10k of our monthly electric bill living here in Manila .. We're also using aircon, 4to5 fans and lights plus WiFi
I live in Angeles. I have 2 split type inverter AC, one in the living room and one in my bedroom in a two bedroom apartment. My Bill is 8K a month. It would be cheaper for you for buy them and upgrade. each of them cost me 22K with installation included.
Hi I’m American, my thoughts are you can live like others there with no air or set the thermostat higher like 78-80 you’ll get used to it you won’t sweat and you’ll save a lot of money
You have to run the A/C or all of that expensive Sony gear will succumb to the humidity of the tropics..... fungus filled G Master lenses don't have very good image quality.
Good point
You said it man. Window/wall units are really expensive to operate, because they are just usually very inefficient. In comparison, we operated a 3HP in Manila average of 16 hours/day. We paid between 5K and 10K monthly.
We even got a "Thank you for watching from" from Fatima :)
Man, that's steep. We run a split AC 2hp 24/7 and our house in bacolod is normally p6500ish.
One month it was crazy because our old fridge iced up BAD, wasn't sealing and it's compressor ran for a month lol. That one month was like p12k...
If we used all our AC units it would be far higher. We only cool the area we are actually using at that time.
