Try to make it a habit to switch off the main switch of electric appliance.

Meaning try not to leave TV, radio, microwave etc. on standby mode. Understand from discovery channel that they really suck up lots of power too.

I tried to minimize usage of like fridge i set it at the lowest possible... I'll not touch the chiller so i adjusted the fridge... :D

I think the bulk of the bill is due to the running cost of our hobby. Running a chiller and MH can cost you a lot due to their high power rating. Use the attached excel sheet to calculate how much your hobby is costing you. I believe the rate went up for the field I3 in the excel sheet, you can change it to obtain a more accurate result.
