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 33% of electricity at COP 3.97
Lower the tank target to 45–48 °C, heat water once a day in the warmest hours, and disable weekly legionella cycles unless required.
warningUnit is rated 6 kW but the house needs about 2.9 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.
noteOwner’s note on the source site: “No negative heat during defrost, require proof of MID heat meter”

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.
