Mine loses about 0.6 degrees per hour so a bit less. Is your HW tank outside the house, e.g in the garage? That would make it lose a bit more than in...
@westkent I think you are suffering from the same problem described above; Melcloud over estimating consumed energy when the heating is off.
Am I misreading these graphs? It looks to me as if the overall COP is around 3 across the year, including the shoulder months. With HW being 40-50% ...
@tobydeh, - is it just the downstairs that is 180m2? From the plan it looks like the total is 360m2 or so. If so, your consumption and the ASHP si...
