This thread makes me question my 2,000kWh power bill, I don’t have any servers and always shut down my main PC over night. I do use a laptop as a media center that I don’t shut down, but I figured it can’t be using that much power.
Maybe the main factor is me being in home office and using my PC about 12-14h a day? 😅
Edit: Oh, I guess many people are talking monthly usage here. My number is over the last year, so I guess I’m not doing too bad
yearly, and I use LED light bulbs in the whole flat
I do haven an electric stove/oven, kettle, dishwasher and washing machine. Oh, and my warm tap water is also heated by electricity. Haven’t really considered those, but that’s definitely a good point, water takes tons of energy to heat after all
I just looked it up, it seems I’m pretty average with my energy usage compared to others here in germany, considering the electric flow heater I have. I wonder why energy usage seems so much higher elsewhere

I’m in a 1 bedroom with my fiancé, a home server, and our gaming rigs running for long portions of the day.
We use about 243kWh a
daymonth.243kWh per day is insane, even with three high powered rigs running. Are you sure your fiancé isn’t hiding a data center somewhere?!
We also have some really outdated air conditioning units.
You draw an average of constantly ~10kW? That is a crazy amount of power, how many gaming rigs/servers do you have to get that high
Sorry, that’s per month, my bad.
you still have halogen lights or worse?
If your heating system isn’t electric I really wonder how you do.
Otherwise: Hoven, electric kettle/toaster, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer are usually the most consuming devices
Wait, you’re talking monthly or yearly?

Yearly?! It’s nothing then 😅

I use 2k a month in the summer, but i know its my hvac unit. On the winter or spring months i use 1200.
I don’t have solar but i do have two electric cars and 4 gaming PCs in a 4 person house.
No HVAC here, I have gas heating and the only thing resembling AC in my flat is a fridge lol
