Only these changes and that is supposed to reduce electricity consumption? I'll gladly try it out!
Do I have to change anything else?
Then these peaks should be gone immediately tonight, right?

Do you have the hot water (domestic hot water) set to 65°C? That also costs a lot of electricity. It is enough to occasionally heat it that high and otherwise set it somewhere between 45-50°. Whatever is sufficient for you to shower, etc.

I think the confusion arises because you have two different circuits. You don’t drink the water that runs through your underfloor heating. So your domestic hot water is a different system. However, I don’t know what kind of storage tank you have / how it works. We have a buffer tank that is purely for the underfloor heating. So the water in the buffer tank is not used for domestic hot water in our case. But it can be different for you.

That means, even if your domestic hot water is at the correct temperature, it can be that the heat pump activates to increase the flow temperature for the underfloor heating (as Rotormotor said). Since your flow temperature for the underfloor heating is around 27 degrees, I rather suspect the domestic hot water. What is the setpoint there? Every degree less in the domestic hot water setpoint saves real money.

Here is a snippet from our table showing what the heat pump consumed daily. The 19.5 is an outlier, the day when the plasterers taped off the outdoor unit for us. =D That is still rather high for the current outside temperature, but we just moved in and the house is still damp.

Ah, yes, one more point, is a hot water circulation installed and active?

I just want to briefly add that the dates are missing and the difference/day values are from the last 3 weeks in total. I occasionally read the meter and fill in this table.

Yes, sure, it’s no rocket science. But you have to know and understand the connections. For laypeople, however, it is often very difficult. Also, that a house with underfloor heating cannot be lived in like one with conventional radiators is absolutely incomprehensible to some. If then a heat pump is added as a heat source and a fireplace on top of that...


No, unfortunately not.

I just clean here... :):):)

But first try the settings that Rotormotor suggested. Then we’ll see.

No, it is set to 54 degrees. The high value comes from the heating element on sunny days, and from the stove on bad days.
