Good morning everyone,
I wanted to ask what your house’s electricity consumption is at night when everything is quiet and sleeping, so what is running continuously?
We have a newly built house, moved in summer 2019. Our building services include underfloor heating (air-to-water heat pump), controlled mechanical ventilation (runs at full power 3 times a day for 2 hours each, then reduced), a photovoltaic system, and otherwise the usual nighttime appliances (phone charger plugged into USB outlet, e-bikes charging occasionally, 2 TVs on standby, Alexas on standby, etc.).
At night, we have a continuous consumption of about 232W (with ventilation running at reduced power and when the heat pump is not producing). I can see this in the app for the photovoltaic system. From 0:00 to 6:30 a.m. we consume about 2.8 kWh.
How about you?
Best regards

No, a what? No idea. ^^
We have a Tecalor THZ 504 and one of those Multibreeze units from Pedotherm. Is something like that included? There is one for the Tecalor. You can replace it without a technician. You simply swap out the heat exchangers. If I remember correctly, the enthalpy heat exchanger increases the humidity by about 10%. That’s what the service technician told me. (Data from the first units are still being collected for the TCO 2.5 and the LWZ 604 Air.)

MichaelH823 Nov 2020 19:55Is my estimate too high if I calculate costs of about 150 €/month
- for household appliances 70 € (lighting, TV, etc.)
and
- heat pump for heating and hot water
for a 110 m² (1,186 sq ft) urban villa KFW40+? (Photovoltaic system planned, but size not yet determined)
- for household appliances 70 € (lighting, TV, etc.)
and
- heat pump for heating and hot water
for a 110 m² (1,186 sq ft) urban villa KFW40+? (Photovoltaic system planned, but size not yet determined)

for a 110m² (1,184 sq ft) detached house built to KfW40+ standard? (Photovoltaic system planned, but size is not yet estimated)Yes, the heating cost is definitely too high. €70 for household appliances sounds about right. I would estimate the heating at €40, so a total of €110.

for a 110m² (1,184 sq ft) city villa KFW40+? (Photovoltaics planned, but the system size is not yet predictable) I think you can only try it out and optimize consumption and payments during the first two years. I always look forward to receiving a refund from the utility company, tax office, etc. 🙂

I always look forward to a refund from the utility company, the tax office, and so on 🙂That sounds about right. We have 150m² (1,615 sq ft) and pay a monthly electricity advance of €198 (about $198) with a photovoltaic system. However, we also have two PCs with high-power power supplies that run almost all day (home office, gaming, reading, etc.). If you subtract this additional consumption, 150 is probably a safe estimate.We also didn’t include the photovoltaic system too heavily in the advance payment calculation. We preferred to receive a refund rather than having to pay extra since we can’t yet gauge the heat pump’s consumption.
