My Bill averages out at about R3000 per month, and this is for a 6 bedroomed house with TV in each Bedroom and one in the Lounge. Their are 9 of us living in the house.
There are two geysers, a stove, a double fridge and a freezer, the front loader washing machine runs for about 4 hours twice a week, all the clothes get ironed twice a week. Couple to this a Snake Room with lighting for three Beardie Cages which runs for 14 hours a day, a 20 tub rack with Heating Cable which runs for 24 hours a day, three Boa Cages with Heating Pads that run 24 hours a day. Mr. Venom, I think that somewhere you are being overcharged.
Having said this, my Bill for July 2012, suddenly spiked at R6937.82, more than double my monthly average which was calculated over the past 14 months. I am getting my area individual readings in September, so perhaps I will get a zero account which has happened in the past.
