So I checked our Ecodan consumption figures yesterday

 

All of 2021.  Approx 9,000kwh

2022 so far: Approx 4,000kWh

Roughly COP for Nov has gone from 2.7 to 4.3  Not sure how much milder it’s been this year?

With 7 weeks of year left it’s looking very promising!

We tuned things before the heating season this year so I’m hoping that means 2023 will be even cheaper with a full year at a better COP  

 

250sqm house. 30kWh Sunsynk/Pylontech battery system. 14kWp solar. Ecodan 14kW. BMW iX.

The start of Nov has been fairly mild. 

What tunings have you tried, please?

My latest energy bill for Oct-Nov was just £134 (then take off the government money). So far, so good for this year. I'm about £1000 in credit at the moment. It has been ridiculously mild

Tweaked the weather comp settings

removed all the Tado room stats and UFH zones so it’s just one big zone now

balanced the radiators

 

i have a feeling removing the zoning has worked the best

It’s 2c here and foggy. So worst weather for ASHP

 

Flow temp is 42c. No defrost in last 24 hours and house is nice and warm. 

will see what the COP is tomorrow when the figures come through to the app.
