Frequently asked questions

What's the formula?
Formula: Cost = (Required - Current) × Value per Amp
Can the results be different from the reality?
Yes, this is an estimate. The actual value may vary depending on the current conditions and prices.
Who should I consult for more information?
You should consult an architect, contractor or construction expert for advice.
What is the electricity rate in Thailand?
Progressive Rate — The more you use, the more expensive it is per unit. MEA/PEA has a rate of 3 per period as announced by the Energy Regulatory Commission (EGC) plus the FT (Fuel Tariff) that changes every 4 month.
What is the FT value and how does it affect the power value?
FT (Fuel Adjustment Charge) is an adjustment based on fuel costs, adjusted every 4 months. If FT is positive, it means the electricity bill is more expensive. If it's negative it's cheaper. As a result, the monthly electricity bill can change by 5-15%.
How can we save on electricity?
Turn off non-user devices (standby consumes 5-10% of electricity bills), replace old bulbs with LEDs, set air conditioning to 25-26°C, wash once full, check insulation and seal refrigerator doors.
What is the difference between the electric meter size 5(15) A and 15(45) A?
The size of the meter determines the maximum current. General households use 5(15) A sufficient. Large houses or those with high-power appliances should use 15(45) A. Electricity charges are the same, but the monthly service charges are different.
Disclaimer: Calculated estimates only. Actual values may vary.

  2. Run a second upgrading your electrical panel case after changing the rate, period, quantity or other key assumption.
  3. Record the difference between the two upgrading your electrical panel results and the input responsible for it.

Inputs for the upgrading your electrical panel estimate

For this upgrading your electrical panel calculation, check the quantities, rates, period, units and other assumptions requested on the page. The result is designed to show a cost estimation estimate for your scenario, not a guaranteed provider price or official decision.
