digital box, 1 DVD player, 1 TV games console, 2 computers, 3 stereos, 2
bulbs in the WC, 2 bulbs in the bathroom, 4 bulbs in the kitchen, 3 bulbs
outside, a washing machine, tumble drier, fridge, freezer, oven, vacuum
cleaner, engine block heater = 6240 kWh domestic electricity/year.
Energy meter
Check the accommodation's energy meter regularly, preferably once a
month. This will indicate any changes in power consumption.
Newly built houses usually have twin energy meters, use the difference to
calculate your domestic electricity.
New builds
Newly built houses undergo a drying out process for a year. The house
can then consume significantly more energy than it would thereafter.
After 1-2 years the heating curve should be adjusted again, as well as the
heating curve offset and the building's thermostat valves, because the
heating system, as a rule, requires a lower temperature once the drying
process is complete.
