This is a common complaint ...............,
STEP 1 - go to the mr fixit ( bali website ) where youll find a link to a electricity bill calculator .......,
STEP 2 -then search for a link to articles tittled "fixed abode" , available online on mr fixits website , alternatively , go to the bali advertiser website - and search for one of his past " fixed abode " articles , from last year which explanes in great detail the breakdown of the new power bill.
STEP 3 -Then take BTKs advice onboard (ie; check the bill ) , together with my advice ( do the calculations from step 1 and 2 )
; to establish first if the bills either correct , or the staff are ripping you off ...
STEP 4 - if the bill turns out correct , have a reputable electrition check your power , as you may either have ;
- an electrical problem within your home or appliances
- the meter itself has a problem
- or the neighbours have tapped into your supply without you knowing so . This does happen .
In the meantime, do this check ;Turn off your main power at night ( peak time ) and see if the neighbours light go out also , and while the powers off , check with a torch to see if the power usage wheel in the electricity meter is spinning -
because if youve cut power to your home , the wheel should NOT be spinning at all, and alarm bells should be ringing .
