Why does my empty property still use electricity?

An empty property always consumes a little electricity due to the refrigerator, router and possibly a boiler or camera. What stands out are peaks or structurally higher consumption without a clear cause, which can result from a forgotten thermostat, an inefficient appliance, or someone who is unexpectedly present. A metering module with an always-on group shows per property when and where consumption occurs, but does not detect defects: that remains the work of an installer. For a single property with few rental weeks, the benefit is less self-evident.

This is general information, not advice about your situation. We do not see your meter cabinet and are not familiar with your contract with your energy supplier, your rental agreement and your park or homeowners association regulations. Your installer, your rental broker or your adviser will confirm what is permitted and required in your case.
