People of Bluesky!! How do you track your central heating, if you do? Spreadsheet and regular meter readings? Heat meters on your pipes? A smart meter? Anything more unusual? PLEASE TELL ME! Working on a story about this.

Was wondering why my DHW COP was so poor on @openenergymon.bsky.social but thanks to @zarch1972.bsky.social excellent blog - energy-stats.uk/arotherm-plu... - I realised I've been running it on normal as opposed to Eco. Will be interested to see what difference it makes. emoncms.org/app/view?nam...

This article explains the 3 DHW (direct hot water) modes on the Arotherm Plus heat pump; Eco, Balance and Normal. And why you'd choose one over the other.

My latest video is up. In this one, I look at how my low flow temperature actually uses *less gas* than the traditional 70° flow temperature that I'm told is better! youtu.be/lig23gactEo

youtu.be

Does low temperature heating actually use more gas or is that a myth?

Do you hot water runs in the afternoon for best COP they say!! Well, not much in it during the winter so far. Especially if you do the hot water runs on cheaper rates. Just keep them overnight? Interesting numbers from my Mixergy and 5kW Arotherm in Eco mode (to 45C target) since 1st November.

This evening I've been doing some max output testing with a Vaillant 5kW ASHP, at 0C with 45C flow Vaillant claim an output of 6.6kW is possible, however in real world taking into account defrosts it only managed to output 5.3kW, which is 80% of the stated output
