I now have 3 kWh per day after installing switchable power strips on all the mentioned devices.
Do you all always turn off your devices 100%? Do you press more than just the off button on the coffee machine, or do you all also have such power strips?
The warm water or circulation can't be the cause anyway since the air-water heat pump has a separate meter.
I don't know how else to explain it, sorry. I'll try again:
10 kWh before when we were away. Then the mentioned devices were unplugged, so the plugs were completely out, now it's 3 kWh per day when we are not at home. However, it's 11 kWh when we are there and, of course, have devices on. But I find that very high again because if I calculate it yearly, it comes to over 4000 kWh for 2 people.
Have you ever checked the manual to see how much your controlled residential ventilation system consumes? Depending on the setting, it's usually between 70 and 150 watts. So nearly 2 kWh per day is easily possible!
I don't feel like constantly turning off the TV in the living room at the socket directly and not just with the remote control. So unfortunately the 18W will continue to be used….
There are also clip-on adapters for the Schuko socket: you can control them via a smartphone app or set a timer program from there, they can also measure power consumption; they are available for around ten euros and up.
