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

That’s quite a lot, even if you do a lot of laundry and cooking—we do the same and actually have two households. But unfortunately, we also reach 10,000 kWh… it’s a 250 m² (2,690 sq ft) house with an on/off heat pump. What exactly is an on/off heat pump?

Whether on, off, or set to modeling mode doesn't actually affect consumption.What else would it be?tomtom79 schrieb:
What else would it be?Longer durability of the heat pump (especially the compressor) and, above all, they were developed to reduce noise levels. There are also efficient on-off systems, but it is important to choose the appropriate capacity class for those.
