Bloody hell Matt, thatβs expensive. You could have paid a couple of maidens to rub their butts against a bucket and it would have been cheaper to warm your bath. Geez we got a bill a couple of days ago and our place is all electric, and it included our 22KW a/c running through all this rotten hot weather AND the water heater and was only $760.00.Comment

I know Mate itβs a shocker o_O I totally agree with you on the Maidens being cheaper! this is why Iβm trying to get it down. I have changed a few things around in the house before this bill lighting and fittings and this is a bit cheaper than my last bill @ $1117.15 :sick: next power killer to replace is my ancient split system!Comment

These water heaters work relatively well. How they work is that like an air conditioner, the refrigerant in the unit absorbs the heat from the room and instead of dumping it outside it dumps the heat into the water. To better understand look up the refrigerant cycle of an air conditioner or better yet a heat pump which is basically what the unit on top of the water heater is. Better still this short video may help.

Hi Matt, did you check to see if your supply costs were the same as last time, Every time we get a bill up here the kilowatt hour charge goes up so you gotta make sure you compare apples with apples. Our last quarterly bill I paid last week was $458.00, we are all electric, but didnt use the ducted a/c all that much in the last quarter as the start of the quarter was at the end of the heat and itβs been fairly mild of late. The way your state government is closing power stations we will all be in the dark soon:whistle:Comment

Hi Mate I did ask the electricity company that exact question, they said about 400KW less than last year, so Iβm using less, with more people in the house . So I argued with them that Iβm paying to much for my power and I pay on time all the time, and said my brother is on a better rate. My next 12 months power will discounted by 35% for paying on time instead of 23%. So I guess my next bill will be much better.Comment
