Yesterday I had to go across the Irish sea to England, to sort out some details for my wedding. I was away from 7pm on Sunday to 9.30pm on Monday, which you can see from my energy graph:
You can see the baseline energy my house uses – from the fridge, house alarm, cooker timer, and (mainly) the laptop I’m currently using to upload my energy data to the web (working on a replacement!). This is a background use of around 100-130W.
Except for 2.02pm, where the energy spikes to 1.38kW. What on earth is that?!
Looking back there have been no similar spikes at all when I’ve been out or asleep.
I know what it looks like. It looks exactly like the kettle. Did someone let themselves into my house, and make themselves a cup of tea? And then leave?
Weird.
