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...

Not sure but somewhere there should be a design ambient temperature/flow temperature for the heat pump - something like 50 deg flow at -4 deg ambient....
Hi an welcome to the forum. I'm assuming you've had full heat loss calcs done and they support the spec of a 12kW ASHP. What's you outside temperatur...
