“As an electrical engineer, I had a reasonable idea of how much power different appliances use but finding out that one of my heat pumps draws 43W when it’s not even in use was a big surprise.”
What we noticed
As an electrical engineer, Rory already had a solid sense of what his appliances were drawing. Then Basis showed him something he’d never have guessed. One of his heat pumps was quietly pulling 43W while sitting idle doing nothing at all.
What changed
Rory now sees exactly how much electricity every circuit uses. Each decision what to automate, upgrade, switch off, or leave as is is backed by real data, with minimal effort. He already had a heap of home automation projects on the go. The Basis panel was a natural next step, filling the one gap the rest couldn’t reach: measuring and controlling the fixed appliances no smart plug ever could.
Outcome
A heat pump quietly drawing 43W at rest now every circuit is measured and under Rory’s control.
