Difficult and hot! How to deal with expensive utility bills

1 First impression of high-cost utility fees Back to the top

[PConline talk] For the hard working migrants, if the work place is too far away from home, many people will choose to rent a house, and as many cities have implemented ladder water prices in recent years, many landlords have rented houses. Raising the electricity price and water price, taking the Guangzhou area where Xiaobian is located as an example, the electricity prices of several large urban villages that are rented out are generally at 1.5 yuan/degree, and the water price is about 5 yuan/cubic, which has greatly exceeded the peak value of the ladder water price. In such hot summer days, Xiao Bian, who also suffers from high water prices, has a deeper feeling of the current utility costs. How do the working families face high-cost utilities?

The initial impression of high-cost utilities:

Speaking of high-priced utilities for rental housing, Xiao Bian had to talk about some interesting things. Since Xiao Bian is attending a university in Guangzhou City, the family has a two-three hour drive from Guangzhou. After graduation, of course, he would like to rent a house ( Local Aboriginal people can ignore this article), and the rental of the village in the city is certainly the first choice, after all, the choice of houses, single room, one room, one room, two rooms and one hall are many, the rent is not too high, pull up It is also quite good for several classmates and friends to rent a house together.

However, interesting places have come, and renting has just started. Xiaobian does not ask about the issue of utility bills, because in the concept of Xiao Bian, the utility bill is basically too simple (too young too simple), even if it is a ladder price, it is also super. However, for 1 yuan once electricity, water has not been used much, and it will not concern itself with the issue of water prices. After the check-in, the first month's utility bill was close to 400 yuan. At that time, the rent was only 750 yuan. Xiao Bian's small heart was obviously hit. At that time, I learned that the landlord charged 1.5 yuan/kWh, and the water fee was 5 yuan. Yuan/cube. Later, I heard a friend say that the renter of the next-door house paid more than 700 yuan for the first month, and then moved away one month later. Perhaps it was also hit by the high water price.

There may be high-cost utilities that are not only in urban villages. After all, there are landlords who rent houses. The basic cost of utilities is that the landlord has the final say. High-cost utility bills are considered by landlords as a “fat” and face such a “fat”. How many people will say no?

2 It is reasonable to charge high-cost utilities? Back to Top

Why is the utility bill for urban villages or rental housing so high?

This is a matter of saying that public-private women are justified, but it is certainly not reasonable. First of all, let’s talk about the price of electricity. Take Guangzhou's electricity price standard as an example. According to the standard of ladder price, the first summer's electricity consumption, the electricity price is as low as 0.61 yuan/degree, that is, the use of electricity is as high as 600 degrees above the third. The excess electricity price does not exceed 1 yuan/degree. The other is the peak-valley electricity price standard, which is based on the time period to calculate the electricity price, but the peak time for the highest electricity price is also less than 1 yuan/degree. If you meet the price of the building that applies for the tariff, the price will be uniform and the price will be low.

The first gear (0~260 degrees) 0.61 yuan/degree second gear (261~600 degrees) 0.66 yuan/degree third gear (601 degrees or more) 0.91 yuan/degree peak/valley power price peak (14:00-17:00 ,19:00-22:00) 0.9875 yuan / ping level (8:00-14:00, 17:00-19:00, 22:00-24:00) 0.61 yuan / degree valley (0:00-8 :00) 0.3197 yuan / degree of electricity price 0.647 yuan / degree

And the price of water? Then continue to take the water price standard of Guangzhou as an example. Even if the amount of water used meets the third-tier standard of the price of the ladder water, the price of water is also lower than RMB 4/m3. Moreover, the water consumption of many migrant workers is generally at 5m3/month, even if several people share the rent, the monthly The total water consumption will rarely exceed the first-stage standard of the price of the ladder water.

Guangzhou City Water Price List

Residents living water

The first ladder (26 cubic meters of water per household per month) and 1.98 yuan per cubic meter of the second ladder (27-34 cubic meters of water per household per month, including 34 cubic meters) 2.97 yuan per cubic meter of the third ladder (Each household has more than 34 cubic meters of water per month) 3.96 yuan/cubic meter

Judging from the above-mentioned various official charging standards, it would obviously be unreasonable for a landlord to charge a fixed water price of 1.5 yuan/kWh and a price of about 5 yuan/m3. But are landlords without a reasonable reason they think? They certainly have. E.g:

First, the lighting of corridors and corridors, and the electricity used by elevators (if any), these electricity charges must be shared.

Now many of the rental houses have floors of more than 5 floors. Many large-scale rental houses with more than 7 floors will also be equipped with elevators. There may be more than a dozen households on each floor. The lighting of the corridor and the electricity bills generated by the operation of the elevator, the landlord will naturally allocate the cost to the tenants. But Xiao Bian wants to ask. The lighting of the corridor and the electricity use and maintenance of the elevator do not need to immediately raise the tenant's electricity price to 1.5 yuan/degree.

Second, circuit, elevator maintenance, all kinds of maintenance also need money.

The lightbulbs on the corridors and the regular maintenance of the elevators all require costs. These are the costs that the landlord thinks need to be passed on to the tenants.

Third, there is a loss of water supply, and some tenants have dripping behavior and the water meter does not turn.

Each household in the rental house will be equipped with a separate water meter. Many landlords will pass on the cost of water loss to the tenants. At the same time, some old water meters have too low water volume, that is, if water is stored in the form of drip, the water meter It is very likely that it will not change. Based on these two aspects, this has also become a reason for many landlords to raise the price of water. However, tenants who have used such expensive water prices should all feel that the 5 yuan/cubic price of water is a reasonable "robbery."

Is it inevitable that landlords increase water and electricity prices?

No matter what kind of water and electricity price payment standards the landlord applied to the power supply bureau, there are unreasonable places to look at the high-cost utilities of many rental houses. The renter of the rental house pays utility fees to the landlord. Instead of directly paying utility bills to power supply bureaus and water companies, this is equivalent to a "secondary trafficking" relationship, but buyers and sellers are voluntary and free. This is indeed a market economy supply and demand relationship, and some are in good condition. There are no tenants in the rented flats. Most landlords think that you do not rent, and there will always be people renting. This is just like the seller’s market. Tenants rarely talk about the utility bills and the capital of the rent problem. Therefore, Xiaobian thinks that the landlord's increase in water and electricity prices has become a widespread social phenomenon.

3 How hard for migrant workers to face high prices and utilities back to top

How can the migrant workers face high prices?

Take Xiao Bian, a well-known city village in Tianhe District of Guangzhou, as an example. Rental houses can be seen everywhere. Unless you rent a residential area, the electricity price is basically 1.5 yuan/degree, the water price is about 5 yuan/cubic, and the ordinary rental is. Houses are certainly the first choice for most people. After all, rents are much cheaper than single-family homes, and they are often three-bedroom, one-bedroom buildings. It is not easy to find a few partners who can get along well together. Importantly, many rental houses will not allow tenants to use such things as gas, and only electrical appliances will be allowed to use.

As a result, each tenant must have several electric tiger-like household appliances, such as the original air-conditioner and electric water heater of the house. There are electric cookers, electric cookers, and refrigerators that are purchased by themselves. So how can hard-working migrants face high-cost utilities? Xiao Bian talked with his own personal experience.

Air conditioning must be a big consumer of electricity

In this scorching summer, many people will have air-conditioning dependent diseases, but rental houses can rarely be equipped with high-efficiency and relatively new air-conditioning, most of them are air conditioners with a history of several years of use, power consumption is definitely more than partial Newer air conditioners should be higher, and those who can meet energy efficiency grade 3 or above (Grade 2 or 1) can laugh. If you go to bed every night until you wake up at night and you have air conditioning, the electricity bill of the month will definitely be indispensable. Sleeping at night does not need to adjust the air-conditioning temperature is too low, generally 26-28 degrees is more appropriate, so as to avoid indoor air temperature is too large and produce air-conditioning disease, while air-conditioning power consumption is lower than the open lower temperature.

Pay attention to the time of electric water heater heating

In the summer, the temperature was high, and many rental houses are equipped with water storage type electric water heaters. This type of electric water heater has a water storage capacity of about 50L. The power is about 1500W. It can be turned on for 30 minutes. The water temperature can be 60-70°C. Meet the needs of the bath. Therefore, we usually need to pay attention to the running time of electric water heaters, avoid excessive heating, waste electrical energy and have no practical benefits.

Buy electrical appliances attention energy efficiency logo grade

Energy efficiency labeling, also known as energy efficiency labeling, is an information label that represents a product's energy efficiency rating and other performance indicators. Its purpose is to provide users and consumers with the necessary information for purchasing decisions to guide and help consumers select energy-efficient energy-saving products.

Employees in the renting houses usually buy electrical appliances such as electric fans, induction cookers and refrigerators. The usage frequency of refrigerators and induction cookers is still very high. Within the price range that they can afford, the higher the energy efficiency rating ( The smaller the number, the more electricity will be saved. For example, Cantonese people like soup, but if you use an induction cooker to dip an old soup, simmer for 4-5 hours, according to 1.5 yuan / kWh, electromagnetic oven with an average of 1000W of power to run for 5 hours, the minimum electricity should be 7.5 yuan . Therefore, we use electric appliances that are frequently used for a long period of time and we try to buy higher energy efficiency levels.

Pay attention to saving water

Employees renting a house, the price of water is not cheap, usually we can wash clothes, wash the water used to flush the toilet, use the washing machine to wash clothes according to the degree of cleanliness to choose energy-saving or standard washing mode, not suitable to manually When the water level is adjusted to an excessively high level, it will waste more water resources and increase its own water fee burden.

Buying a house? This is a problem that everyone will consider in the future

If the migrant workers do not want to bear the high-cost utilities, in addition to renting a single-family home, after working for several years, they will certainly consider the issue of purchasing a home based on their own economic ability. If the first and second tier cities, people may pay a huge down payment. After the money, there will be about 20 years of house slavery. This is also a problem that the migrant workers need to consider. In short, buying their own homes may be the ultimate solution to getting rid of high-cost utilities. After all, for the migrant workers, there is a real “ "Home" will undoubtedly be more practical and more sense of belonging.

Editor's summary: For many migrant workers, high-cost utilities are a fact that they have to accept, or that everyone has long been numb to this phenomenon, but they have to pay more attention to saving electricity and water, and work hard. The income is high, and the existence of high-cost utilities is naturally not so strong. The use of water and electricity involves many household appliances in our lives, especially electricity, so we must pay more attention to the use of ordinary electrical appliances. The details of saving electricity should not be ignored. For example, after watching TV, you can unplug the power supply. Do not leave the TV in long-term standby.

All in all, saving water and electricity are a habit that we should have developed. In particular, nowadays, various kinds of home appliances have brought us a lot of convenience. Even if we have to face high-cost utilities, we still have to rely on various appliances, but Each of us can actually use more environmentally friendly appliances, can we?
