Saving tips
Your heat pump installation produces heat and hot water. This occurs via the
control settings you made.
Factors that affect the energy consumption are, for example, indoor temper-
ature, hot water consumption, the insulation level of the house and whether
the house has many large window surfaces. The position of the house, e.g.
wind exposure is also an affecting factor.
Also remember:
႑
Open the thermostat valves completely (except in the rooms that are to
be kept cooler for various reasons, e.g. bedrooms). The thermostats slow
the flow in the heating system, which the heat pump wants to compensate
with increased temperatures. It then works harder and consumes more
electrical energy.
႑
You can lower the temperature when away from the house by scheduling
"holiday setting" in menu 4.7. See page 62 for instructions.
႑
If you activate "Hot water Economy", less energy is used.

Increasing the indoor temperature one degree increases power consumption
by approx. 5%.
Domestic electricity
In the past it has been calculated that an average Swedish household uses
approx. 5000 kWh domestic electricity/year. In today's society it is usually
between 6000-12.000 kWh/year.
