For your case.
Because this really depends on climate and the house.
In our case, 100 kWh would be required to cover one day normal power requirements in the worst case. Median would be about 50 kWh.
I could probably stretch 100 kWh for max 3 days (worst case) by adjusting temperature, using water minimally and unplugging everything that's not absolutely required.
There are also households who could stretch 8.7 kWh for several days. And houses that require significantly more power to maintain liveable conditions.

- vardump 4y agoMy point is one size doesn't fit all. Some places on this planet can get very cold or very hot. If you're running a [ground source] heat pump as your primary heat/cooling source, even with high COP, on extreme days the system can draw massive amounts of power. You know, those days when losing power could truly hurt. Like destroy water pipes (including underfloor heating pipes) type hurt. Or make the house unlivable hot. No bragging (I have no idea how someone could read it like that!) or anything. Just facts. There's more variability than you might think.
