Circulation pump may be set too high or emitters are undersized for the low flow temperature. Ask the installer to check pump speed.
warningHot water uses 45% of electricity at COP 3.48
Lower the tank target to 45–48 °C, heat water once a day in the warmest hours, and disable weekly legionella cycles unless required.
infoUnit is rated 6 kW but the house needs about 1.1 kW at −3 °C
Oversizing causes cycling in mild weather. Cannot be fixed cheaply now, but the curve and minimum run time can limit the damage.
valueReaching the fleet’s January median (3.69) would have saved about £1 in this window at 0.25 GBP/kWh. An estimate, not a promise.

Daily COP needs a heat meter; days without one show electricity only.

Each point is one hour of space heating. Lower and flatter is cheaper; well-set radiator systems sit around 35–42 °C at 0 °C outside.
Public system published by its owner on HeatpumpMonitor.org. Cycling (starts per hour) comes from the site’s 365-day statistic. Findings use installer rules of thumb; see methodology.
