Abbiamo esattamente gli stessi dispositivi elettrici e abbiamo la stessa routine quotidiana. Non è cambiato nulla, ma il consumo di elettricità è aumentato notevolmente a novembre rispetto allo scorso anno e la tendenza è simile a dicembre. Qualcuno qui ha riscontrato un problema simile? Potrebbe trattarsi di qualche problema tecnico? Abbiamo una casa a schiera con teleriscaldamento a Espoo.

Must be a glitch if nothing’s changed. Our electricity consumption is lower this year for Nov and we also use it for heating (heat pumps).
Do you have floor heating in bathroom? Is the kWh spent same on the app and on your bill?
Its your air handling unit. Electric heater termostat is broken.
You left floor heating to max level?
Few things pop in my mind:
– in 2023, did you move in that month (causing reading to be from partial month), or you lived the full month there?
– how does the electricity consumption line up with other months?
– can you look/do you have access to daily / hourly consumption, to see if there are spikes, or is the consumption fairly even in all hours?
Couple things can use high amount of electricity;
Sauna. Do you use it, and how often, if you have one?
Bathroom / toilet under floor heating. This usually is electric heating, that you pay for in your electric bill, even if you have district heating otherwise. If the floor feels warm to your feet, you probably have it set fairly high, causing a high electricity consumption.

I have the opposite 😛
But seriously, you can check your electric meter is it blinking/turning how fast. Unplug things until it stops visibly. There’s your problem device.
If it’s still saying it’s consuming after everything unplugged, maybe someone is stealing your power from outside socket or the meter is broken.
Have you been cooking more or differently, or for more people?
Everything that generates heat uses a lot of electricity, and for example a kitchen oven takes a lot more electricity than cooking with the stove top, which then uses more electricity than a microwave.
Other devices such as airfryer, water kettle, etc also use a lot of energy
It’s either floor heating thermostat broken or the thermostat on the ventilation system that heats the incoming air.
Row house?
Do you have an electrical outlet outside in your yard / incoming?
Someone’s charging their car during the night.

’Cmon, dont its not that bad😂
Also how old are you appliances (dishwasher, oven etc) they can get less efficient with age.
400kWh difference, that’s quite a lot. Floor heating or neighbour charging their new EV comes to mind.
Can you see consumption per hour? It might be easier to guess what is wrong from that. If the consumption is constant then there is probably something wrong with a floor heating thermostat or something.
Thats almost exactly the same that Ive used electricity in this december in my +200 square meter attached house with air water heat pump heating up my water and the whole house.
My electricity consumption in november dropped from last years 1400+kwh to 900kwh since outside temps were higher. You have definitely something fishy going on.
You did not give any information but the district heating. How many people and is domestic hot water heated with electricity, for example. In the average it’s 500 kWh per month to heat shower water for four persons (with direct electric heater). There could have been a glitch last year, how about the years before?
Talk to your neighbours.
If you have the hourly readings of the months, check on which periode of the day , you have the most difference. You can post the two months in a comment and we’ll analyze it together with other redditors
Any use of electric sauna?
Not happening to me with Fortum, this is super strange, I’d unplug everything to check device by device unless you use smart plugs. Also check any air conditioning, heat pumps or even your fridge/freezer, those suck a lot of power when they go broken
Olkiluoto 3 working overtime just for you rn
you need to check the short circuit or leakage.
If your use of everything is the same, follow the advice already given by others to check things. For myself my electrical use is higher this year, because the price has overall been much cheaper at market electricity, whereas last year by now I had used a lot more firewood for heating thus reducing my electrical use. Not worth burning firewood when electrical is -1-5 cents/kwh, firewood costs money and (my own chopping it up) energy too.
