@jamespa @bami 

Just to clarify, I have already done what James has suggested. My water law settings are as low as I can use.

House-2 bed partial stone bungalow, 5kW Samsung Gen 6 ASHP (Self install)
6.9 kWp of PV
5kWh DC coupled battery

@jamespa I haven't forgotten 🙂  But I want to talk to the tech chap at the installers before I start altering the system, just so they can't accuse ME of being the reason the system isn't running efficiently.

Apart from putting the DHW on a timer, and altering the low end of the weather comp to -2C from 2C the system is as it was commissioned - for now at any rate.

No pressure or obligation, this discussion has moved on so much I felt it worth restating in case you had missed it.

 

Installers will probably say touch nothing, which eventually you may have to ignore, but you are imho right to be cautious while you are trying to get them to change things!

 

4kW peak of solar PV since 2011; EV and a 1930s house which has been partially renovated to improve its efficiency. 7kW Vaillant heat pump.
