 Posted: Wed Oct 03, 2007 12:30 am Post subject: Utility bills in Seoul? |
 |
|
I just wanted to get a sense of what folks, especially in Seoul, generally pay for utilities (electric, gas, etc.)
I ask because the utlities on my apartment seem staggeringly high. During the summer, we used the A/C rather often (though not when we were out of the house), and I expect the costs to drop as a result of the more moderate weather, but I am nonetheless shocked.
My apartment is relatively small (about 34 pyung). Does anyone have any ideas of what appropriate costs would be? I am very distrustful of my landlord and have heard many stories of scams.
TIA |

34 pyong - about 112 sq meters - 1200 square feet?
That is NOT a small apartment in Korea.
Electric is on a sliding scale dependant on useage - the more you use the higher the per unit cost so your electric bill seems to go up exponentially.
Gas should be virturally non-existant during the summer, your maintainence / common area costs can be as high as 150k on top of the electric and water.
Then add in your TV and internet. |
