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

We use about 150 kWh per month 😀 but we heat with gas.
That would be around 10 euros per month? What do you want to heat with that?

It says "with gas," so not much electricity is needed.
I assume the house.
But where do you get 150 kWh for 10 € from?

We gas users with our low consumption really get overshadowed by the high values shown for air-to-water heat pumps (or whatever they’re called). They just don’t want to accept that :p
Merry Christmas

Yeah, I believe that too 😀

Me too.
Maybe we can register together as a cooperative or something similar and then negotiate a nice discount...

Oh, I thought it was 150 kWh (160 BTU) of gas 😀. Electricity costs a bit more, although next year I will pay only 10 cents per kWh for 100% green energy at Eon 🙂. That’s really unbeatable.
