Eskom's confounding average electricity consumption

[leon.davibe]

Avg of 22-27kw a day.

2 geysers. One uses a heat pump
2 showers and 1-2 baths a day
2x PCs running 24/7
Multiple laptops
2 fridges
122 Led down lights in the house.
Electrical kettle probably Boils 10+ times a day.
Gas stove
Air fryer used daily for 10-20min
3x a week vacuuming and probably a total of 5-6 washing loads.

If the Jacuzzi is on, we use an extra 15-17kw a day

Household of 4, both the wife and me WFH.

Heat pump on jacuzzi can save a lot of power if you have excess solar running this at the moment then little incentive to remedy

If not x amount of runtime would ROI the heat pump probably 1500hrs runtime
However many sessions /days that is needs to be weighed

If you use it a lot it may be worthwhile

A sun command panel or two on the roof may be a lot cheaper , and brings the input power down to just the pump if sunny, getting it up to temp and normal heating to sustain after dark
