warningOnly 2.1 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.
seriousCompressor starts about 7.5 times per hour
Short cycling wears the compressor and cuts efficiency. Usual fixes: remove or bypass a buffer, open zone valves, lower the curve, raise minimum run time.
warningUnit is rated 16 kW but the house needs about 6.1 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.

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.
