The heat pump results are in

I guess that a few of you have been following the Heat Geek project in replacing a badly installed air-to-water system with a system installed by people who know what they are doing. The results so far are excellent. The customer can hardly believe what constant temperature he is living in.

I think you might be looking at the wrong HP as my cop has only averaged 3.7 today, it does a legionella cycle on Saturday where the flow temperature gets up to 70+C and this hammers the efficiency.
Think I'll alter the hot water program to see if it will increase the cop.
