Living in 3 bed in Springs & just received DEWA a/c. Last month (our 1st) was AED1500 but we (just hubby & I) had left 2 water heaters on constantly. Made big effort to only put them on for 30/45 mins when required and thought bill would be drastically reduced this month but just received at AED1400 (Boohoo). Is this normal????

Regardless of what is best costwise, I couldn't stand leaving my water heaters on all the time as the cold water is never cold enough to make it possible to have a shower in the summer without being scalded. We leave ours off all summer too and simply use the 'cold' water tank as hot! Our bill is 30% higher this month, and we have not used any more than the month before! The surcharges seem to be doing the damage this month!

My DH commented yesterday that ours had hiked a lot this month (and we don't have the ac on any more than we normally do - our house is always an ice-bucket), though I get that it's probably working a bit harder. Anyway - ours has doubled this month. DH deals with bills, but he did comment that he was going to scrutinise it this month to see why it's so much more.

I copied and pasted the advice for you. In the body of the post. And there are several other similar sources which say the same thing - but hey if you want to believe you're right, don't let me stop you; am just concerned at you convincing other people of the same nonsense. This is a public forum and everyone is free to express and hold thier views, so perhaps you can respect that and refrain from being offensive to others simply becasue they have views you dissagree with. edited by Di@DXB on 05/07/2011 err, right, who was the one who was being offensive? If you can provide any reputable support from your views, or any actual science behind them, I'd be interested to hear them - but please note I'm not casting aspersions on how often you shower or anything else; I'm just finding it difficult to debate the issue when you are not reading what is said. Quote "err, right, who was the one who was being offensive?" [b'>err, YOU for calling me NONSENSE![/b'> [b'>and YOU again for bringing up how many times I shower.[/b'> You don't appear to be reading what I said- 1. I think usage is a factor in energy consumption. That's my view becasue I was told so by a professional. 2. I am entitled to hold any option I like. 3. I do not have to submit scientific evidence to YOU to be entitled to have an opinion.

an immersion heater works just like an electric kettle, by the way - a heating element in water (looks more like the old ones, where you can see a curly element). Do you leave your kettle on all day because it takes less energy to boil water than to keep it boiling?

OK, so why does the UK National Energy Foundation (for one) say that this is a myth? <<3. It's wisest to leave your immersion heater on 24 hours a day MYTH This one is easy. It is always best to place the water heating on a timer, as the energy lost from a hot water tank depends on the temperature difference between the surface of the tank and its surroundings. It's a common myth that it somehow takes more energy to keep heating up a tank than to maintain it at a high temperature. Of course, as with all the urban myths on this page, there are a few "ifs" and "buts". If the tank is highly insulated (so standing losses are very low) and there is an effective thermostat on the tank, then the losses through leaving it on can be much reduced. And some people have a need for large quantities of hot water all day long, in which case they may have no alternative to leaving the immersion heater on. But in general, it is much better to install a timer - a heavy duty one, suitable for immersion heaters, should cost less than £20 and if you can fit it yourself safely, could pay for itself in a few months: an excellent energy efficiency investment. >> http://www.bath.ac.uk/estates/energy/The%20National%20Energy%20Foundation%20-%20Energy%20Advice%20-%20Saving%20Energy%20-%20Urban%20Myths.htm I am referring to the kind of heaters I and most people usually have here in Dubai which do not have timers and are not well insulated nor energy efficient appliances. Exactly. Did you actually read the advice above? What we have here in Dubai are immersion heaters (so, as discussed) don't have timers (so you have to be the timer yourself and switch them on and off) and the tanks aren't well insulated (so the caveat that the extra energy used by having them on all day is minimised doesn't apply). I.e. it uses less energy to switch them on and off as required. Your link did not work so no I did not read it. But I still think the usage is a factor. <em>edited by Di@DXB on 05/07/2011</em>

Please don't switch on and off your water tanks, it makes no difference to your bills. :) Actually it does makes adifference, if you keep switching the heaters off and on it is usually more expensive to do that than to leave them on all the time. It takes a lot of electricity to heat up a tank from cold as oppossed to the heater being on and it just keeping the water up to temp with occasional boosts of power. edited by Di@DXB on 05/07/2011 If you google it, you will find many many reputable web sites dismissing this as a myth - on the same principle, you don't keep your kettle on all the time. Far better just to heat up when you need it (though why water heaters NEVER seem to come with timers here escapes me - have wondered about the possibility of putting them in!) My advice is on the given that you are having a shower or bath every day, in that case it is cheaper to leave it on all the time. I was told this by a reputable heating engineer in the UK. If you are only draining the tank with a shower once a week then it might be appropriate to only switch it on for each use as you suggest.

Ours has gone up to AED3,000 this month. And strangely, yes, it's the electricity which has tripled since April (the latest hard-copy bill I can find), whilst the water has gone down a little since we installed sprinklers and asked the gardener not to water where the sprinklers reach. Also, for some reason, the sewerage has quintupled..
