In a home setting, it's quite reasonable to only power one or two of them if you're willing to live with a longer warm up time and a bit less ability to crank out continuous lattes. I believe I only have two of the three elements powered in my 2 group Rancilio. So 2400 watts instead of 3600 or something like that.
