ᐅ House electricity consumption – what is your usage?

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

Well, eon and green electricity...
It's just window dressing with every provider... Price is what matters, the rest doesn't concern me. Eon's new customer promotions are simply great.

10 cents? We are approaching 30 cents... Such regional differences should be banned.

He probably only included his discounts.

Yes, of course I did, because in the end, that’s the only amount you actually pay. Prices are a bit lower in my region as well; in the neighboring village, electricity costs a few cents more. And this is only for household electricity. For the heat pump, I pay 21 cents, which isn’t bad considering I haven’t switched suppliers.

And now the calculations begin, to see if the savings from the cheaper heat pump electricity are greater than the costs of the second meter... :p

No, it’s really not worth it, it’s quite neutral. If photovoltaic panels are installed, everything will be removed anyway and a new meter will be installed 🙂
