saving $1,000 a year on energy bills?

A good tip from the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Services (DME) to help each household save up to $1,000 a year – turn off your appliances left on stand-by mode.

All 9 items utilizes a total of 15, 489 kilowatts hour per year. At the tariff rate of 6cents per kilowatt hour, that amounts to $929.34.

However, in Bruneian homes, it is common to see multiple sets of the same appliances.
