Electricity consumption at home, what is your consumption?

When we have more hours of sunshine again, a few kWh will be used up there daily. But at the moment, we almost have full grid consumption.

Well... it is winter after all. We previously had a gas prepayment of about €100 for our entire house as well. The air-water heat pump definitely won’t need 15 kWh anymore in the spring. ;) We moved in in October, and from November to December it already got a bit more. I expect that January/February will be a bit more again, and from March on it will go down again. In summer, only the ventilation should need electricity. It’s no different with gas, you also pay prepayments for the winter in summer. My "currently 30 kWh/day" referred purely to the month of December. :D So no one gets me wrong there.

Oh yes, and the same with photovoltaics. It’s winter after all. Even in October, we had several days with 10 kWh and more in yield. At the moment, the sun just isn’t shining, so nothing is coming from the roof. :)

Nevertheless, I am somewhat surprised at the – in my eyes – high energy consumption. Our energy costs (heating plus hot water) over a year amount to about €50/month and we still have an oil burner that is about 20 years old. Okay, we use the wood stove a lot for heating...

That already sounds different :)

Hello Zaba12,
have you managed to heat only with the fireplace in the last few weeks?
It was foggy and cold here all the time...

Yes, that was my problem the last few days. I turned on the underfloor heating on 12.12. and am now playing around a bit with the right comfort temperature. Here is the consumption from 12.12. The heating was turned on around 9 a.m. You can see that quite well. Yesterday, a total house consumption including heating of 19.7 kW was recorded with the upper and lower floors at 20-20.5 degrees. Currently, it's 22.3 degrees and we will probably end up at 26 kW at midnight. The next 3-4 days there will also be sun again / finally.

Oh, do you have your driver's license back? nice.....and funny at the same time:cool:

Huh? I don't get that?

Our house was just completed. According to Stiebel Eltron, we should not take the consumption in the first year as a reference and only look from the second year onward (keyword drying heating).
I am not familiar with oil; I never had a chimney either. Therefore, I cannot provide any reference values. In our old house with gas heating (built in 1994), we had annual gas costs of approximately €1000.
But it's pointless to compare these things. It depends on a hundred factors. How warm you like it, how well the house is insulated, how large the area is...

Huh? I don’t get that?

you were away from the street for a while......um....from the forum....

It is simply a myth that heat pumps are economical. An acquaintance has a brine system and 140m2 heating surface but pays 70 euros monthly for heating costs. He would have been much better off with gas. After 5 years, it was still leaking and he received a bill for 3000 euros.

I always say, if possible, go for gas. Heat pumps are very sensitive and otherwise massive power guzzlers.

Although the consumption mentioned here is quite decent. From November to March, 90% of the heating energy is used. There can also be months with heating costs of 200 euros.

In December, we average 20 kWh per day and it was damn cold. Household needs about another 10 kWh extra.

Thanks to cheap electricity tariffs and lots of bonuses, it is still cheaper than gas or similar. Next year there will be a 500 euro bonus, so electricity is almost free :D
