Constant Overnight Energy Usage

martin1234 — Fri, 15 Nov 2024 02:42:31 GMT

Hi all ,
I hope you're well.
I'm not sure what is causing this constant usage in red that happens overnight only for about 400w - i don't believe it's anything personl as we had this when we moved into the home with 0 appliances connected.
So it seems something fundamental to the home.
We have gas hot water and a fairly simple home otherwise

1 - Does anyone know what this could be?

2 - How could I determine what this is?

Hi martin1234, Is the usage showing on the AGL app as well? One of the ways to ascertain cause of usage is an isolation test. When you turn off all appliances at the power outlet (not just on the device) there shouldn't be any usage registering. If there is usage being registered even when all appliances are turned off, an electrician may able to guide you further. Cheers, Deepesh

Could be something running 24/7. You might not see it when solar is being generated. Have you checked in the roof cavity to see if a light or lights remain on. Also do you have something like an alarm system hiding in a cupboard somewhere. My standby is about 150w
