Frequently asked questions

What does Home Energy Audit Calculator do?

Estimate your home's annual energy use, cost, intensity and HVAC share from its shell and major appliances.

When would I actually use this?

Putting a number on a bill: what an appliance costs to run, whether a solar array covers the load, and how much heating a room actually needs.

What is the most common mistake?

Confusing power with energy. A kilowatt is a rate and a kilowatt-hour is a quantity; a 2 kW heater on for half an hour uses 1 kWh, and only the second figure appears on a bill.

How is Home Energy Audit Calculator different from Appliance Energy Cost Calculator?

They sit next to each other but answer different questions: Appliance Energy Cost Calculator is the one to open when you need it to turn any appliance's wattage and daily use into a daily, monthly and yearly running cost in your currency. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.

Is there a tool for the next step?

Capacitor energy calculator is the closest one after this: Compute the energy stored in a capacitor from its capacitance and voltage (E = ½CV²).

What else is worth having open alongside it?

Inductor energy calculator and E = mc² Calculator (Mass–Energy) — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.

Where do the figures come from?

The arithmetic is exact for the rating and the tariff you enter. Nameplate wattage is a maximum, not an average, and solar output depends on latitude, orientation and shading that no formula can guess.

ComparisonInsulate or Replace the Heating: Which Repays First, and Why the Answer InvertsPut both on one axis — euros paid per kilowatt-hour a year of permanent saving — and the comparison becomes decidable. The same loft job costs 0.83 euros per kilowatt-hour a year in a 1965 house and 5.00 in a 2005 one, a factor of six. That, and not the age of the building by itself, is what inverts the verdict.How-toHow to Estimate the Running Costs of a HomeAdd up energy, water, heating, and maintenance with simple rules of thumb so you know what a home really costs to run each month.ComparisonHeat Pump or Gas Boiler: the SCOP Your Local Prices DemandBefore any grant, the price of electricity divided by the price of gas sets a seasonal efficiency the heat pump must beat just to break even on running cost. In late 2025 that number was 1.53 in Portugal and 2.79 in Germany — and on old radiators a German heat pump can cost more to run than the boiler it replaced.ExplainerR-Values, U-Values, and What an Insulation Number HidesR and U are reciprocals, and the two markets that read this site use different ones in different units — so an R-value quoted without its system means nothing. Worse, the number on the batt is not the number your wall achieves, because the studs are a parallel path.ExplainerWhere Household Water Actually GoesPeople picture taps and showers, and metered end-use studies say the biggest single line is somewhere else. Here is the ranked budget from named national agencies, plus the arithmetic that changes behaviour: the dripping tap, the running tap, and the shower flow rate at which a bath becomes the cheaper option.How-toHow Much Tile and Grout You Actually NeedFloor area divided by tile area is the answer everyone reaches for, and it is always short. Count the grid instead, add the layout allowance, round to full boxes, keep attic stock — then derive the grout from the joint geometry rather than trusting the bag.
