Maybe it's my central European perspective that clouds this but the standard setup in Germany/Austria/Switzerland and Northern Italy is three phase power to your house.
- krzyk 7y agoYes, same in Poland, 3 phases is standard (and houses from 70-ties also have 3 phases, not sure if they needed to pay extra for that or not). And we don't do electric heating.
- mamon 7y agoWe do not do electric heating because that would be riddiculously expensive. Most single-family homes still use coal, some newer ones use natural gas.
- blattimwind 7y agoFor me, as a homeshop owner, it's really nice, because I can run pretty much any workshop/industry-grade equipment on standard CEE outlets. And for my own contraptions I have an endless supply of efficient, low cost, low vibration/noise, three phase motors. Meanwhile American homeshops cannot use high grade equipment or have to use VFDs on each machine or rotary converters to create three phases.
