Hello everyone,
At the end of November 2023, the heating system was installed in our single-family house. It is an air-to-water heat pump configured as a split unit. The heating system itself is already running. The outdoor unit will be installed later. Meanwhile, other interior work such as floor and tile installation is ongoing. For this, the heating system needs to be operational. When the split unit’s outdoor part is not connected, the heating runs entirely on the electric heating element, so purely electrically. Currently, our daily consumption is about 70 kWh. It is February at the moment.
At the first appointment, it turned out that the electrician had laid the wrong connection cable to the outside. Unfortunately, the heating installation company had to leave and a follow-up appointment has not yet been scheduled.
Because of the electrician’s mistake, we are now using more electricity. Mistakes happen. However, it is always a matter of how one deals with them.
Has anyone had similar experiences? How did you handle the situation?

We had a flow temperature of 19°C (66°F) and a comfortable 14°C (57°F) inside the house during night frost and +4°C (39°F) during the day.
