Weather compensation- why you should use it
Brief update on weather compensation (AI). I have a LG 16kw unit installed 2020 - so 5 full years usage.
First 2 years ran on fixed flow as setup by installer. We have a meter on the heat pump as RHI grant - so know usage. Those years both circa 8050kWh pa (not exactly recorded).
After that moved to AI due to high costs and recorded monthly usage. Monthly varies a lot from year to year with different weather. But annual usage incredibly close - so seems to even out.
2025: 5756kWh
2024: 5741
2023: 5782
Saving nearly 30% vs fixed flow.
Main rooms heated to 21deg.
Bedrooms etc cooler - suits us.
Listed Grade 2 building with large modern extension.

Underfloor heating + Rads
8kw pv solar
3 x 8.2kw GivEnergy batteries
1 x GivEnergy Gen1 hybrid 5.0kw inverter
