If You Are Using AC With Prepared Meter What Is The Billing Like? by fineboynl(m): 11:18pm On Jan 24, 2020
we are planing to switch the estimated billing from NEPA to prepared meters.

the focus now is on me using AC as the rest tenant are planning to have their own meters. I was wondering if I use AC for 8hours a day what is likely to be the billing?

let assume I use only 1hp AC for 8-10 hours a day. no any other things like bulb or fridge or TV just only 1hp AC what is the billing going to be??

with that I can be prepared for any eventualities on my new adventures.

thank you.

my Google research.

An old 1.5 tonne AC uses around 1.5 units per hour, while an inverter AC uses only 0.91 units per hour.

Don't dream of anything electric cooker, electric kettle, microwave this things zaps it faster than you can imagine

Then for your ac, I thought every flat is entitled to prepaid meter or is it a face me I face you, yes if its face me I face you, if they wish, they can also get their ac, then you can use hot plate and the rest if others are using it
Re: If You Are Using AC With Prepared Meter What Is The Billing Like? by frozen70(f): 3:14am On Jan 25, 2020
Try using the ac first, if its consuming more if the units, you either reduce the hours you use it or disconnect it

it's a flat compartment. no prepared meter just estimated billing but now we are planning to switch to prepared. just saying they think AC is consuming light and I need to know

It's until you start using it before you can see the consumption
Re: If You Are Using AC With Prepared Meter What Is The Billing Like? by Nobody: 2:28pm On Jan 25, 2020
1hp = 0.746 kw
Your unit consumption per day using only AC for 10hours = 0.746kw * 10hrs = 7.46kwh
Your unit consumption per month using only AC = 7.46kwh * 30days = 223.8kwh

You will be consuming 223.8kwh per month on only AC.
Then multiply 223.8kwh by your disco’s tariff rate for R2.

That will give you your AC energy consumption for 10hrs per day in a month.

Thank me later.

Citygal is correct.

7-15k per month. Good things come with a price.

We use AC, microwave, water heater, kettle, big screen TV, washing machine, etc.

We spend less than 10k a month on electricity and we get 15 - 18 hours of electricity a day. Sometimes, we get almost constant power supply.

When we were using our inverter (for 3 months because of fake batteries), we turned on the generator maybe five times in those 3 months.

It was exactly like abroad.

AC does consume a lot because when we get the warning signal, we stop using AC and reduce microwave to barest minimum and stretch it for another 2 weeks.


The tariffs have changed though so be wary.

6 units in 24hours

wrong calculation

1hp ac is aproxim . to 746wats,
so in 24 hours 1 hp uses around 17 units
a unit is 100naira

so that's around N1700 for 24 hours usage by 1 hp a.c

Perhaps his calculation was not wrong at the time, as this is a 3 year gap we're talking about. A lot has changed since then. It's just been updated, not wrong from the start.
