    Nobody requires you to do this, a specialist has to know you, but you pay him.

    Even if you use 2.3 boilers every day, the energy consumption should not be that high. on the other hand, the additional heating of the water does not come out cheap, especially when you take it a little. To begin with, I would install such a timer and heat the water only at a certain time and check how the energy consumption is then. In addition, the water temperature is of great importance. Maintaining 80 degrees and 60 degrees is more money, and you risk getting burned. If you often take a shower, not a bath, and there are 3 phases, I would consider installing at least a flow heater, around 6. sq. under 400V, washing dishes is enough for a shower.

    6kW is not enough for a shower. In winter, when cold water is very cold, up to 18kW of water may be needed for a shower (which is still less than the average gas heater).

    And I will insist that it is enough. My mother has 5.5kW at 400V installed and it has been used for several years. I personally use it when visiting. Sure, if you wanted to have water of 70 degrees Celsius, it will not work, but it is definitely over 40 degrees. because I choose cold anyway, because it's too hot.

    Yesterday consumption 16.4 per 24 hours today 17.6 per measurement also from 6 am. We changed the boiler setting to 60 degrees. The specialist has already arrived, I will try to get another plumber because the consumption is too high in my opinion.

    It is impossible to say anything about the installation until you take pictures of the pipe route from the tank to the furnace. You write about a mounted valve and you haven't even taken a picture. Heating water with electricity is not cheap, and the energy class has nothing to do with costs, but with efficiency, and these are two separate fairy tales.
    And how long are the household members bathing for 5 or 25 minutes, what are your battery flow classes.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around a user's concern regarding high power consumption from a newly installed electric boiler (1500W) that reportedly consumes 28kWh daily, leading to exorbitant electricity bills. Various contributors suggest potential solutions, including ensuring proper insulation of the boiler and pipes, adjusting the thermostat settings to a lower temperature (ideally around 50-60°C), and installing a timer or solenoid valve to control heating times based on water usage patterns. The importance of checking the installation for proper design and functionality, including the placement of check valves and the overall efficiency of the heating system, is emphasized. Users also discuss the impact of household habits on water consumption and suggest using low-flow fixtures to reduce hot water usage.
