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

You have brought up this argument several times now. What exactly is your issue with smokers? This is like comparing apples and oranges or just trying to sugarcoat things!Even if you seem to have too much time, are bored, or just want to provoke me (I can’t think of any other reason why someone would dig up a response after almost four weeks just to say something), I’m happy to reply again.
No, I have nothing against smokers, people who drink alcohol (or those who enjoy a beer after work), drug users, or people who like to pursue their hobbies.
This has nothing to do with comparing apples and oranges. I just enjoy my hobby and am willing to spend money on it. Others might enjoy some of the things mentioned above and are willing to spend their money on those.

You are allowed to scroll back and read 5 or even 10 pages when someone revives a thread. I was interested in the electricity consumption here, but I had to see that statement from you in almost every post. But you probably just wanted to repeat your opinion 😉

I’m more surprised that 200€/month (or even more) is considered normal. Paying extra for the more expensive air source heat pump or air-to-water heat pump, or whatever, seems costly to me, especially when the added technology costs are combined with consumption! But that is the situation as of today. We calculated it and concluded that energy prices today don’t differ much compared to a gas boiler.
However, we purchased the heating system with a long-term perspective. Then you quickly face the political question: “How real or dramatic is climate change in my view?”
For us, it is very real, and we believe that releasing CO2 into the atmosphere will become much more expensive very soon. That was a major factor in our decision from an economic standpoint. Besides the economic aspect, we also considered that we have a young son, and we wish for him to inherit the house someday, which will still be located above sea level (NHN).

Children do not inherit houses; with today's life expectancy, they themselves are already 70 by then.
Grandchildren inherit houses to move into. Well, that certainly refutes my argument convincingly.
Economically, a gas boiler would be preferable, but the bulky gas boiler combined with solar yield makes it expensive. Therefore, heating with electricity (heat pump) costs the same or more but is more ecological and desirable for the future (photovoltaics, wind power, and storage) without CO2 emissions.
