Hello,
we currently do not heat yet, but we feel that the base consumption of our heat exchanger is too high. It also releases a lot of heat.
How many kWh are normal in this case without drawing any hot water?
The boiler is currently set to 60°C (140°F) due to concerns about Legionella.
Thank you very much for the information!

Hutchinson1239 Nov 2022 15:24I still need to check where the meter is located.
I should also reread the TAB if necessary.
How is it possible that comparable households get through the summer months with only 200 kWh?
We don’t have a hot water storage tank.
And how does it work with houses rated efficiency class A? Some of them have as little as 20 kWh or less per sqm/year.
For our nearly 100 sqm (1,076 sq ft) house, we already use almost 3,000 kWh per year without heating.
I find that quite high when you put it into perspective.
And back to the 2 kWh per day:
Those are on top of the 6 kWh standby load that is unused during absence.
But when we are at home, that 6 kWh doesn’t just disappear, since we are using some of it. So it can of course be a bit more than 2 kWh per day – okay.
We also shower only every other day, except in mid-summer.
Overall, I would consider us quite economical.

The water is only heated when it is requested.
It can take up to a minute before warm water reaches the kitchen.

The boiler is currently running at 60°C (140°F) due to legionella prevention.
Thank you very much for the information! You mean legionella.
The question is, what settings are configured?
In our system, the transfer station regulates the temperature according to the requirements. The legionella program is scheduled for Monday, during which the temperature is raised to 60°C (140°F). Otherwise, we maintain 200 liters (53 gallons) at 55°C (131°F), which is more than sufficient, even for bathing.

The water is only heated when it is actually demanded. Well, a domestic hot water station does draw a significant amount of power at peak times. That’s why most network operators prefer to minimize their presence in the network.
