Where is your water tank? I'm wondering how it gets so cold, way below room temp. Does it ever actually get to 50 deg at the taps?
Wow, quite a saga. Surely the fact that the ASHP could not deliver more than 25 deg flow in colder weather means is has a fault. Your house has almos...

@davidalgarve The figures from the control panel and those from Melcloud should be the same, as yours are. I was talking about using external heat ...
I have used both on the same system and the previous internal measurements of COP were very similar to the current externally metered ones.
The high delta T (difference between THW1 and THW2) also supports a too low flow rate. Are all the ufh/radiators all getting warm? Even at an average...
@bontwoody I agree with most of your comments and I especially agree the installer is either making things up or is really incompetent. On the sizi...
