Heat Pump Performance History

This post will be updated on a monthly basis in the same vein as my Solar Generation History post.  You can find solar stats going back to 2018 here:

My Solar Generation History

My 5kW Vaillant Arotherm heat pump was installed in October 2022 and you can find all the details about it in the following post.

Monitoring Setup

My monitoring setup is all based around Open Energy Monitor hardware and software along with a billing grade heat meter and electric meter.

Which I make reference to in my ‘about’ blog post listed above where you can find more details.

You can monitor every minute of every day of my heat pump performance on the following public dashboard:

And my heat pump is one of an ever growing number of heat pump installations being monitored by the Open Energy Monitor open source initiative called Heat Pump Monitor.

Open Energy Monitor versus Vaillant Monitoring

With the help of the team at Open Energy Monitor I have been able to split out my hot water data from my heating data.

The way it was worked out means that all standby electricity is bundled with the heating data, leaving hot water data to just be that.

By splitting the figures I will now be able to show monthly breakdowns of each.

This also allows me to make monthly comparisons with the heating and hot water from two Vaillant built in sources; Working Figure and the myVaillant app.

I go into detail how to obtain the working figure in the dedicated article below:
