electric bill for january

[VINO]

sorry i cant provide the kkw’s used. the administer just said that was the amount. it small apptox 52 sq meters. i ran the a/c at 23. this is way out of line. i have been paying electricity bills for 20 years. never anything like this. i need to find out why. if you rented my place the rent would be almost prohibitive

You should ask her to send you the copy of the bill. I am not sure in a small 52 sq meter apartment you could run up a $400 dollar monthly bill even using AC every day. Something can't be right.

I am not sure but maybe they read the meter wrong? My friend said that happens too. I don't think a small apartment like that can generate that many kwhs.

who owns the electricity company. private or government

I think the utility companies are private companies.

I have no idea about any of this but I would agree that it is unlikely that can be right. If you look at some of Buysellba's post on X they post utility bills all the time. They had 2 bedroom apartments they said are booked every single day over a month period and their bill was about half of what yours are and their bill was summer too.

You should ask them to see the copy of the bill before just paying it. I heard there is a lot of fraud by management companies in BA.

i had a similar proplem in the usa. i
called the utility company and explained i was a general contractor and had access to engineering firms that would flow tests electricity it if they did not replace the meter. it was changed the next day. i am 72

since i am not from arg and dont have the same connections it would be nice to have the name of a reputable engineering company to threaten them with

Hi Jim,

I'm not sure if there are companies that do that. But my company has been posting quite a bit on X about this. We had several locals that also said their bills were extremely high. Part of me thinks that maybe the utility companies are playing games and not even actually measuring true kWh usage.

Based on buying and managing hundreds and hundreds of properties in Buenos Aires over the past 24 years, I'd say the chances of you actually using that much electricity in only 1 month cycle is slim to none.

I have Airbnbs that are 85 m2 and have 100% occupancy from January with AC's on in each room (2 in the bedrooms and 1 big one in the living room) and the highest bill we had was about $200 USD and that was very high. So I would agree with the others and ask your property manager to show you that bill. The odds that it could be so high are not likely.
