What is my ideal electrical power?
Much depends on what you are, a business or a family? How many people are under one roof and when is everyone there? What kind of appliance and devices? They all play a role in determining your “ideal electric power” and how much you’ll have to spend to get it.
There are also external forces that influence your capacity and cost. The graphic below shows our current rate plans, and how much of an energy boost you can potentially get from switching over, depending on the type of installation (single or three phase).
The second, perhaps biggest factor, is the use of gas as it powers big-time energy “vampires”, such as the water thermos and heating.
This graph shows how much energy is required for different areas of a house. One of the biggest factors to determine energy need is whether or not everything is running at once, or spread throughout the day and night. This will obviously be different if you’re a business; however, while there might not be an oven in the office, there is probably more than one computer.
The table below gives an energy spend breakdown for typical electric domestic appliances and devices for a one to two person household. Some of these figures remain more or less constant, even as you go up in size, such as a refrigerator. But many fluctuate depending on the number of people, like the aforementioned computers and possibly TV’s.
