Your Dirty Or Faulty AC Can Double Your NEPA Bill

If your NEPA bill suddenly doubled but you’re not using more appliances...
Your AC might be the problem.
A faulty AC is one of the biggest bill killers in Lagos right now. The worst part? Most people don’t notice until the bill lands.
Here is How a Bad AC Can Double Your Bill
1. Dirty filters / coils
When dust blocks airflow, your AC works 2x harder and runs longer to cool the room. More hours running = more units on your meter.
2. Low gas / refrigerant leak
AC keeps running but never gets cold. So it doesn’t cut off. It just stays on and guzzling power 24/7.
3. Faulty thermostat / sensor
AC thinks the room is still hot even when it’s cold. So it never goes to "low power" mode.
4. Compressor problem
The compressor is the AC’s engine. If it’s struggling, it draws way more amps = higher bill.
5. Bad insulation + wrong AC size
If the AC is too small for your room or air is leaking out, the AC never stops running.
Real Lagos Math
Normal 1.5HP AC running 8hrs/day= ₦30k - ₦40k/month
Same AC with low gas running 24/7 trying to cool = ₦70k - ₦90k/month
That’s literally double.
5 Signs Your AC is the Culprit
- NEPA bill jumped but your usage didn’t
- AC blowing hot/warm air
- AC running non-stop and never cuts off
- Ice on the pipes outside
- House takes forever to get cold
