Electricity used: 94 kWh
Heat delivered: 295 kWh (heat meter)
Estimate without heat meter: flow sensor 3.15 · temperature model 4.71
Mean outdoor temperature: 9.4 °C · 113 space-heating hours · cooling 1 kWh removed (0 kWh electricity), kept out of the COP
Flow temperature at 0 °C outside: 35.3 °C (curve slope -0.54 per K)
Flow − return while heating: 2.7 K
House needs at −3 °C: 3.9 kW (unit rated 6.5 kW) · fit r² 0.25
Hot water: 27% of electricity, COP 2.78

warningOnly 2.7 K between flow and return

Circulation pump may be set too high or emitters are undersized for the low flow temperature. Ask the installer to check pump speed.

valueReaching the fleet’s January median (3.69) would have saved about £4 in this window at 0.25 GBP/kWh. An estimate, not a promise.

Day by day

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

The installed heating curve

one heating hourfitted curve50 °C

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.
