Hello,
looking for some advice - done a fair bit of research/reading but still a bit confused by a few things;
we moved into a property in April that has a daikin heat pump (fitted in 2018). Obviously efficiency only really become an issue in last few weeks since heating required. Realise it’s a bit of a journey at the beginning to work out what you need from it.
We have 2 zones, UFH in main part of house (1 thermostat) and another thermostat for rads.
we have set the thermostats to 18 in day (we don’t love a hot house) and 17 overnight.
there seems to be conflicting advice as to whether you should set room thermostats or have it on constantly and just dictate room temp by trial and error with flow temp or am I missing something?
Also everyone says you shouldn’t turn it on and off but when the fan is not running does that mean it is off as surely it has to cycle and the fan will stop when it gets the room to temp and then when the room temp drops eg 0.5 degrees it will kick in again? Don’t all fans continually come on and off in cycles? Or is that different to being on and off?
also, we get a huge amount of solar gain through windows in sunny days that even in winter raise the room temp so then based on thermostat turns ufh off? But then when the sun goes down, it goes very cold and ufh takes hours to warm up again and everyone said it’s very inefficient for it to be on and off but surely it’s beneficial to make the most of solar gain?
Any feedback very much appreciated.
