<blockquote rel="NoName">Hi to all. share ko lang po expenses ko sa utility bills and internet (Melbourne).
From my last bills (1 person in a 3BR house):
Electricity (3-month-bill): Usage - $63.76 Service Charge - $105.04Water (3-month-bill): Usage - $38.27 Service Charge - $117.10
Gas (2-month-bill): Usage - $42.79 Service Charge - $37.95*
Ave utility /month / person = $55.4 for usage only or $148.4 including service charges.
Internet / NBN (monthly) - $50 (eto ang nagpapamahal pero d pwdeng wala 🙂
2x a day shower, 2-3 loads washing per week using 40degreesC water, ducted heater on 3-4hrs sa gabi kapag super lamig, I always cook using gas stove, and i always use the oven too.
*You only pay service charges if you own the property, kapag nagrerent, u will be billed with ur usage only.
When I was in a shared accommodation, ang bill po namin nung last winter: about $276 (gas, electricity, water) + $60 unli ADSL2 internet per month for 4 adults and 1 baby. Mom and baby stay at home kaya mas mataas bills namin and portable electric heaters gamit nmin so mas mahal sa kuryente. So ave/month/person = $69 + $15.70 internet
i hope this will be helpful sa mga papunta pa lang dito para ma-estimate nila ang expenses nila.</blockquote>
@NoName - I find it unusual that you mentioned that <b>*You only pay service charges if you own the property, kapag nagrerent, u will be billed with ur usage only.</b>; kasi ako I still don't own the property that we are staying in now but I pay what you call a fixed daily connection charge sa electricity ko.
I am still renting but the house contract of lease is under my name and the electricity connection is under my name.
What is your electricity, water and gas provider?
