I too am building a new house and need to know the amount of power supply required. Going by tkrussell's reply, I've made a list of my appliances.
The numbers in italics are estimates based on this (http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/consumer/your_home/appliances/index.cfm/mytopic=10040) list as I could not find the watts or amps for them.
* indicates frequent use (daily)
** indicates constant use (always on)
** Fish Tank Light: 18W
* Computer: 850W x 2
Phone charger: 5v x 2
Oven (stove top will be gas): ?
* kettle: 2200w
** fridge: 725w
** Freezer: 725w
microwave: 1100w
* Washing machine: 500w (65Kw per year)
iron: 1400w
TV: 120w
vacuum cleaner: 1440w
toaster: 1400w
* Pump for well: 1100w (a guess)
** septic aerator: 120w
* Energy saver light globes: 18w x10
welder: ?
sander: 800w
grinder: 700w
The house will be 112m2 and have 2 people living in it. We will have about 9 power points.
I'd also like to know- if we only need (eg) about 200w, is it more expensive to get provision for 400 or more? What's the difference?
Thank you for any assistance.
