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: “Defrost energy not included due to mitsubishi heat meter integration limitation.”
valueReaching the fleet’s January median (3.69) would have saved about £8 in this window at 0.25 GBP/kWh. An estimate, not a promise.

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.
