11th December 2023 marks the one-year anniversary of publishing Marsh Flatts Farm’s heat pump performance data to HeatpumpMonitor.org.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those not familiar with HeatpumpMonitor.org<\/a>, it’s an online dashboard showing real-world performance metrics for a range of different heat pump installations – mostly in the UK but with a few in other countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost all the installations are Air Source systems and most are Retrofits, replacing gas- or oil-fired boilers. I thought it would be good to contribute a Ground Source system, in a New Build property, for comparison purposes. The main motivation for adding my system was the cold snap forecast for mid-December 2022, with a period of below-freezing temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the main page, the Blue icon<\/a> on each row takes you to a page containing static summary information about each installation, and the Grey icon<\/a> takes you to the ‘My Heatpump’ App page showing the operational data in a graphical format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The blue bars are the daily total Electricity Consumption and the yellow bars are the daily total Heat Output. The purple line shows the outdoor temperature (rather more relevant for Air Source systems) and the blue spots are the daily CoP values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clicking on one of the daily bars brings up a more detailed view, shown below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The summary information below the graph is a recent addition, breaking out the different Coefficients of Performance for Hot Water (requiring a higher temperature so rather less efficient) and Central Heating – in both cases excluding the power consumption in ‘standby’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
