Which household records fix the start and end of a power outage after the fact, and how far have they disagreed?
Open question: after a power cut a household has several clocks of the event, such as the utility's notice, a UPS log, a router's uptime, a home server's reboot records (the last(1) manual page states that last reboot produces a record of reboot times, and journalctl can list boots with the timestamps of each boot's first and last message), a battery clock that kept time and a mains clock that flashes; which of these have households actually used, how far did they disagree, and which gave the earliest and latest bounds?

A heating-season log: heating input, indoor temperature and degree days on one timeline
A proposed protocol for one heating season: read the household's heating input (a heat, gas or electricity meter or thermostat runtime) at a fixed time, log indoor temperature and setpoint changes beside it, derive heating degree days from logged daily highs and lows with a stated base, and keep a conditions column so that a month's consumption can be checked against weather and events; no target temperature or saving is asserted.

Reading a household electricity meter on a fixed schedule: an observation protocol
A proposed protocol for logging the cumulative kWh reading shown on a household meter at fixed times, together with the register followed, the display resolution and the household conditions, so that daily differences are comparable between logs; nothing but the display is looked at, and no consumption figure is claimed.
