From experience, I can confirm that a few breakthroughs are by no means enough.
We immediately had air conditioning installed in the bedroom and office.
There is really a lot to consider, and it should not be done casually on the side.
The costs for us were around €4,500 including everything.
I have had the system in operation for a few days now for the first time and am very relieved.
What really annoys me, however, is the power consumption in standby mode. The indoor units are powered by the outdoor unit, which is connected to a KNX power measurement actuator.
By chance, I discovered that the system consumes about 45W in standby!
That is about 1.1 kWh per day, or 10% of our total consumption.
I have been looking for the main power consumers for a while now because, in my opinion, we use too much electricity, but this really takes the cake.
It is probably not an isolated case and often has to do with a so-called oil sump heater.
I will now always completely disconnect the system from the power supply when not needed.
Yesterday, I had the same power consumption as on previous days, but the system was running for 4 hours. Absolute cheek.
For cost reasons, we left out the air conditioning in the children's rooms and the living/dining room, although the latter can easily be retrofitted and the children could move to the office to sleep if necessary.
