    Hi, have recently installed an a2w heat pump . And I was just wondering if anyone could recommend a heat curve setting for the Irish climate. I know everyone has their own comfort levels but does anyone have an idea of a happy medium that they find works.
    Thanks in advance.

    All different brands of heat pumps will have different weather comp curves.

    What brand do you have?

    A curve is relevant to your house (insulation, heat emitter etc) and you the person living there. There is always guidelines however. I'll give you an idea once i know what unit you have.

    I presume you mean Thermia?

    If the heat pump is combined with UFH then a heating curve of around 30. That means 30 degrees flow into the UFH at o degrees outside. Set your Room setting to between 17 and 21 depending on personal preference. The higher both these values then the more heat and therefore more cost.

    Check that your min and max flow temps are about 15 and 50 degrees and heat stop is about 16.

    Set the heat pump to AUTO.

    HRV doesn't influence your heating settings greatly. It just ventilates your house.
