How much electricity does a house use per day?
I’ve checked my meter and bills and they seem a bit high so I'm looking for a quick comparison. What would be considered low, average, or high daily electricity use for a normal sized 4 bed house?
Expert Trade Answers
"For a typical 4-bedroom house, daily electricity usage usually falls into these ranges:
• Low: 10–15 kWh per day
• Average: 15–25 kWh per day
• High: 25–40+ kWh per day
This can vary a lot depending on factors like how many people live in the house, heating type (electric vs gas), appliances, home insulation, and whether you work from home or use electric vehicles."
