That all makes sense. Many heat pumps have, I believe, a parameter which allows you to adjust the min cycle time (typically, it seems, set to 10min...
You may be getting a bit over-concerned about cycling. Pretty much all central heating systems cycle at some point, its absolutely inevitable when th...

Thanks, however the link to the report didn't seem to be present.
Consider going the other way then, ie asking them to operate at a higher flow temperature and upgrade fewer or no rads. Then, with the money saved, y...

If its 2-3% for each degree (which I believe because its what the data sheets say) then how does it become 40-70% for 5 degrees? 1.03^5 (ie compounde...
