It depends how many AC units you have and how many hours you run them for, day or night, and how big they are.

One small AC unit of 9-12000 Btu in the bedroom, run for a couple of hours each night, probably about 700 baht a month. If you have it on for say 6-7 hours a night, I would estimate about 1000 baht per unit per month or more.

At the moment in Udon you would be unlikley to need AC, at night.

We ran into a interesting situation the last time we moved all of sudden the elcteric costs doubled, no difference in the units or usage. I could turn the main off at the house and the meter just kept moving. It took a few months of bothering the company to get them to check the meter. I don't think they ever did really check it. But they did adjust it somehow and all of sudden my cost dropped about 60%

Trust me they are not going run out immediatley and check your meter your going to have to stay on them. I finally wrote Taksins little e-mail address, never got a repsonse back but it was within weeks on the mail that the company did come out.
