plumber will install a float switch in the tank, that will detect the water levels in the tank. So it will switch on and off the machine when required. If you’re not home you will assured that when you get home there will be water in the storage.

The only downside is voltage fluctuations. Some areas when power comes it will be 220V, the next minute he don drop to 170. That one fit go spoil machine.

to those in face 2 face house,dem dey paste tenants name like baba kamoru 5000k.Mr Okeke,12000k,Mum Eli,3000k,Alfa 15000k etc .How do dey calculate energy consumption of each room

nurez305:
I really don't know how they are charging some people, I have all the basic electrical appliances in my house including rice cooker.

I hardly finish 1500 naira token on my prepaid meter.

My brother told me that Ikeja electric distribution gave 20 unit for 1k and I still get 35 unit on every 1k recharge.

My question is why is some paying higher than others ?

NB the prepaid meter was done by NEPA official and I never bypass anything and I will never do so.

airsaylongcome:


2 batteries on 3.5kva? E dey last?

kennethfranc:
Though I don't encourage people to do this...

Bypassing the prepaid meter is illegal but that's what we use at home. Only energy bulbs during the day then heavy appliances at night.
This saves a lot of money because we recharge when we wish to.
Just like chop 10k pay 1k.


This won't be possible if you have a jealous neighbor cuz they will surely report u.

Rubyjade:


What? If you do 40*12=480k that should get you 2.5kva with at least 2 batteries plus energy saving bulbs.

I am just curious with the disco tariff on energy consumption, if one is not careful the cost of buying energy will be competing with rent. I have seen apartments that share prepaid meter and all parties involved agreed to only use energy /light during the night or weekend, so they disconnect from disco during day.
I was like there could be a better way to manage energy consumption. If you have an alternative way pls. share and let's benefit from it.

But the 2 batteries will not charge themselves, you will still pay for the electricity you use and the one to charge the batteries.

1k gives me 15.4 units in ph, and my home of 2 fridges and 3 fans and tv finishes 1k card everyday and I'm so tired... i feel there is an issue somewhere or something

jaeyking:

Forget it
Prepaid is the best

We spend at most 3k for light every month
And we get 18-20hrs of light everyday
Use electric kettle every morning, fridge is on always.
Hardly watch tv, no AC just fan.
Using energy saving bulbs
Pressing iron used mostly Saturdays

So if it was postpaid stupid nepa would have been bringing 10k bill

Firstly no light everywhere in Nigeria plus fuel is expensive.. so we certainly can't even relate to your post.. Nigeria electricity powering gets poor day by day... Will it kill our leaders to power our country for even 12 hours a day.

My family house we use prepaid, I introduced them to solar, they have not recharged the prepaid in the last 2yrs. The sun charge the panel and you get power.

wirinet:

The guy I was responding to did not include solar panels. You can not buy 2 batteries + 2.5kva + solar panels (4 - 8 nos. 250kw panels) for N480k

61.1per kilo watt. It depends on the appliance you are using.

Rubyjade:
You cut your coat according to your size
