Hello

we have had the pump in operation for only 4 months (new building). Currently, we notice that at 25 degrees indoor temperature it is nicely cozy warm. Do you save a lot of electricity at 23 or 22 degrees? Or does it not matter whether it is 25 or 22?

We also keep it constant at one temperature.

Thank you

You will diligently save electricity when it is not so sauna warm.
We currently have it between 22 and 23 degrees, but have not turned on the heating yet (though occasionally the fireplace, because it is nice). It is not really cold outside yet. That means we are currently saving 100% (heating) electricity.

Hello,

but do 2-3 degrees less really make that much difference?? It is running for us. We are cold

Our heating engineer once mentioned 2-3% electricity savings per degree of room temperature. Whether that's true? No idea. P.S. I wouldn't care about the electricity savings if 25 degrees were my comfort temperature. Freezing for a few euros is not a real alternative.

Are 25 °C the measured temperature or the temperature set on the heat pump?

We also have between 24 and 25 degrees. I have experimented a lot – one year set it lower and another higher. Savings: maybe 2-3%. Although one winter was milder than the other. So: not really measurable. That’s why for us it runs so that it’s 25 degrees.
