This thread gets the award for the biggest potential for confusion in the forum. :D Can you summarize again:
- How is the heating currently set? Footpoint? Slope? You can view everything on the heating system in the info menu, ideally without changing anything.
- If this is a new building, was a thermal balancing done by the plumber? (actually must be done)
- Has the plumber ever explained the system and its operation to you? If not, demand that. This is important.
- If you still have a warranty, why don't you ask the plumbing company that installed the unit (or the construction company) instead of others?
- What flow temperature is the heat pump currently running at?
- I assume it is outdoor temperature controlled, meaning it adjusts automatically depending on how cold it is outside? The problem with this setup is always when you have a room with an additional heat source that changes the demand - like a fireplace. Actually, the installing company should have taken that into account.
What I absolutely don't understand is why you TURN OFF the heating in all rooms except the bathroom and the room with the additional heater? I would rather turn up the room thermostats in all rooms except the room with the fireplace. Generally, closed individual room thermostats are poison for the efficiency of the heat pump. To explain it simply, this happens: The heat pump heats the water hotter than necessary (using unnecessary electricity) to then circulate it more slowly through the rooms (because the valves are closed). Makes little sense, right?
