Monthly utilities in 1b condo
Wondering how much utilities cost monthly on estimate for I person in a I bedroom condo? Appreciate any comments. Thx!
Re: Monthly utilities in 1b condo
Easiest way to calc is look at utilities in your existing place usage, then apply local rates $/kWh, $/kL water. Most places in Singapore purchase bottled gas for cooking, don't run off a utility line. The harder aspect is climate. Higher electricity if using a lot of aircon. If coming from colder winter climate then power charges for heating will be comparative in power consumption.
Nothing is more conducive to peace of mind than not having any opinions at all.

Re: Monthly utilities in 1b condo
I live in 2-bed apartment on my own. I rarely use the 2nd bedroom. I use aircon for 8 hours/night, the TV for up to 8 hours a night, have a low power desktop running 24/7 with the internet and all the routers etc for that. 2-3 showers a day, I'll let you guess how many times I use the toilet.
My utilities are between $150-200/month, which includes water and electricity. And once in a blue moon I buy some bottled gas.
Things that change your bill:
- how efficient your air con is (in one apartment I went from a 10-year old in-window unit to a new low energy split unit, saved $50/month)
- how new your TV is (when I upgraded from a 5-tear old 42" plasma to a new 46" plasma I save $40/month)
You can probably make other significant savings on other appliances, but until you're in a place, you won't actually know.

Just a rough guess, S$200/mth.

We moved into our flat almost 3 months now. average SP bills is between $200-250.
Most of our electrical appliances are new and we installed LED and energy-saving bulbs/lights and 2 water storage tanks and we use SP gas instead of gas cylinder. Not sure if all these helps in saving a few bucks every month?!
Our household consists of 1 toddler and 3 adults.
