How many kWh do you use on average per month?

[Harmonic]

How many kWh do you use on average per month in total? Including both solar and eskom.

 

[3WA]

270kWh. Four or five people, two households. Gas for cooking and geyser.

Are you even a real person? Do you exist? That's nothing.

 

[Aquila ka Hecate]

Usually less than 500, but rising to over 800 in winter.

Edit: 2 people, gas cooker.

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

~1,000 (summer) combined
~1,400 (winter) combined

~350 (summer) Eskom only
~850 (winter) Eskom only...

 

[Neuk_]

Around 450kWh/month in total on average.

Really? I didn't realise it wasn't a lot. Suppose the gas helps.

 

[Harmonic]

That's an average 1.3kw draw 24 hours a day. Just out of interest, what's consuming all of that?

 

[Lupus]

500 to 660

I'm one person and use around 300-350 KW a month, but also cook on those 2 plate fake gas things. You use very little!

 

[pinball wizard]

As many as eksdom lets me use.

Let's be honest, we'd all use more if those dipshits could supply them.

[pinball wizard]

Nah

Look, I can afford their exorbitant prices, I just need them to supply the product.

Actually need to look at getting a new stove and oven, might as well make it gas. We've been living off the air fryer and electric pans for 5 months now, the oven and stove keep tripping things.

 

[Sinbad]

Voted 0. No eskom and no solar.
Last 30 days has been 264kwh of electricity and 279kwh of gas.
Winter is a whole different story - gas more likely to be over 1000kwh/month

So, a regular two plate electric stove? It's not a fake gas or poor man's anything. I used one when I first left home back in the nineties. No shame there.
