Hmm I think you're crossing into home datacenter territory.

I've got some rookie numbers to pump up LMAO

Whoa. A really bad month for me is 2500 kwh.

My heat pump has used less than that since it was installed, in 2023...

I think they forgot to mention the huge tomato farm they have in their basement. Tons of lights and special ventilation setup. Tastes much better than what you can get at the grocery store of course.

Like 3 or 4 1u/2u servers equipped with a couple GPUs, plus a tape library lol

All of them.

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 day month.

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?

In most places in the US, basic home specs are public record and/or just floating around since the last time it was publicly listed for sale

Besides what others have said, they'd know the capabilities of the address when it's built, at a minimum, as they're responsible for providing the infrastructure to deliver power to it.

I really don't get why you're asking this - they need to know what a facility is capable of to manage and plan power delivery.

As an aside, graphs like this are wildly wrong. Mine says the comparison is made between residences from 0.5 to 1.5 times the size of mine, within a 7 mile radius. So it includes apartments downtown who's heat is steam, and each unit insulates each other, and the building has a dozen to 100 bodies in it, heating it up.

That makes for a completly irrelevant comparison.

(USA) My flat just had its tax assessment done and that includes the floor area, heating source, and other things like how fancy your kitchen is (mine is "standard", btw). That tax assessment is available online to everyone.

It seems very common in the US to get these mailed by the supplier. This one seems to be a blueprint for National Grid, and is similar to a post from this house light show co. on Facebook

What's the idle power on your NAS? Less than 6 watts?

I don't think I can get the amount of panels needed, as-is my system can produce about 700-800 watts in a good sunny month (which the month they used wasn't really, it was Feb and it produced about 600-650)

But my electric company has some dumbass arbitrary limit on the amount panels the professional installers have to follow and I'm pretty sure I'm close to it

I've been meaning to check out this "unofficial" DIY plugin solar stuff, but haven't gotten to it yet lol

PLEASE get us out of the Biff timeline

if you have gas or wood as a heating system and no electric cars?

This month we have reach for the moment 398kWh, with quite a lot of powertools(compressor, woodworking equipment,...) , plus dryer/washers etc. But no electric heating/boiler, which is gas or wood.

I do, most of the time. A while back I tracked my monthly electricity usage and it ranges from 200-700kWh a month. That includes cooking, heating and hot water too, one of the first things I did when getting my house was move everything to electricity and get the gas disconnected.

Thankfully I'm in a legal state lol
