I went on vacation for two weeks last month and unplugged everything except the fridge and one HP Microserver N54L and the apartment averaged a little over 4 kWh per day (~120 per month, ~1440 per year)

However, when we are not on vacation the average is around 10 kWh per day.

Edit: We don't use electricity for heating or cooling (Sydney, Australia) as it's included with the apartment at a flat rate of 10 AUD (6.61 USD) per month



That looks like you need a new fridge. And those little servers can really add up, I had a Synology 12 bay NAS with a 12 bay extension up and running 24x7 and it consumed about 300W continuously.


My total electricity use for 2022 was 1500kWh, so 4.1kWh/day.

Electricity for cooking, but not heating.

My usage in 2019 was 1300kWh/year, but that was before regular working-from-home.
