What's your base load?

[Tomtomtom]

By base load I mean the consumption that's always there 24/7.

Easiest to see if you're away for a weekend. Units consumed * 1000 divided by the hours you were away.

 

[Steamy Tom]

Why are there these weird W options, my base load is in ml.

 

[RedViking]

I don't understand but about 10-20 units a day depending on how much the geyser or oven is used.

 

[Neuk_]

500W - 700W overnight, probably 400W during the day.

 

[wingnut771]

500W - 700W overnight, probably 400W during the day.

I'm about the same.

 

[PhireSide]

Between 170 and 200w day and night, if I exclude the geyser.

Mostly just the fridge kicking in, the heating lamps and pads for the reptile enclosure and various other things on standby like my NAS and outside lights during the nighttime

 

[Sinbad]

About 200w

Do people just not own fridges?


2.2kWh, old fridge from ~2005 that's responsible for around 2.1kWh.
After 2010ish is 1-2kWh, last few years is 500Wh+.

Outside of fridge, around 150Wh (NUC, home assistant green, routers).

EDIT:
Just people reading this, this is total daily usage, not hourly.

 

[Dimpie (JIGSAW)]

±100W

I’ve got a large double door fridge with a big drawer freezer underneath, a tall stand alone fridge freezer, and an under counter size wine fridge and my load is about 300W in the wee small hours when we are all asleep.

You need a new fridge

 

[wingnut771]

You need a new fridge

A fridge should be 150Wh.

 

[denmendez65]

±100W

Same. With fridge on, about 110W. With fridge off, some 60W.

 

[Lupus]

A fridge should be 150Wh.

When it's defrosting sure

 

[wingnut771]

When it's defrosting sure

Yeah, I was being generous. Jono is klapping 500Wh. Maybe his needs a defrost?

 

[Johnatan56]

Same. With fridge on, about 110W. With fridge off, some 60W.

Per hour? 50*24 = 1200.

You need a new fridge

This is over a day, just saw OP said / hours as well, so at 90.
And yes, would like a new fridge, but it's rent, and 24kWh @ 15c EUR / R3 is like R75pm, I'll buy a new fridge in 5 years for a 5 year rent contract...

Nope, normal usage for old fridges.

I understood baseload to be a snapshot in time when the bare minimum is running. So, watts not watt hours.

 

[denmendez65]

Check my midnight to 8am consumption. You can see where the fridge kicks in, at 1am, 3am and 6am. Fokol consumption. And its not those small ones either.

Cool, then I'm at 90W.

You don't need a big fridge, just buy food as you need it.
