Got my power bill for the first 30 days of my tenancy. Could be worse, at first I was all SIXTY DOLLAS?! but then realised my previous two months at my old place (same provider and reseller) with zero AC use were 56 and 57 bucks each.
That first digit bias is real. Maybe using the AC won't be that pricey. Should see what the power usage is like after running it for >24hrs over Sun and today (so nice inside, even the bedroom is tolerable). 26C on economy mode, could be ok?
At least I'm saving about 10/week without gas and not needing to pay for water and hot water.
