Hello!
I'll start.
Heated area 200m2 (2,153 sq ft)
KfW 55 standard
Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery
Current outdoor temperature 6°C (43°F)
Heating energy consumption including hot water 35 kWh
Electricity consumption 9 kWh
COP 3.88

Luckily, it wasn’t that bad for us. This time, the heat pump managed to provide hot water even at -13°C (9°F), yay 🙂.

last 24 hours

Heat energy 140 kWh
Heating electricity 45 kWh
Household electricity 10 kWh

If you look at the amount of heat generated and compare it to what you would need with electric heaters (2 kW), you would have to run about three heaters continuously throughout the house. I find it impressive that this would be enough to supply both the house and the hot water at these temperatures.

So, the first small stress test is now underway for us as well. The really cold weather only arrived here the night before yesterday. Last night it dropped to around -16°C (3°F). Currently, it’s about -8°C (18°F) on average -8.5°C (16°F).

In the last 24 hours, the house used 96 kWh of heat energy (including hot water) and 26 kWh of electricity. The electricity reading is from the internal meter, so there might be some additional consumption not included.
But the house stays consistently warm at 22°C (72°F) and the basement at 18°C (64°F).
No electric heating element is activated on my system...let’s see if any error message appears later. :p

Consumption for the last 24 hours: 9m³ (318 cubic feet) of gas. Equivalent to approximately €4, excluding the basic charge.
At night, it was -14°C (7°F).
220 m² (2,368 sq ft) of heated area
Indoor temperature: 24°C (75°F)
Hot water and circulation continuously on.

You’re in the wrong thread :p *Just kidding*

For us, it was still -18.5°C (0°F) around 7 a.m. It’s currently -16.2°C (3°F). The heat pump will only start in 3-4 hours. Hopefully, by then we’ll only have single-digit subzero temperatures.

Consumption from February 11 to 12 was 55 kWh total electricity usage – 10 kWh for household consumption and 45 kWh for the heat pump.
Indoor temperature was 22-23°C (72-73°F), heated area about 120 square meters (1,292 square feet).
Outdoor temperature around -10°C (14°F).

It's amazing how much the consumption varies. The gas being so cheap is also quite remarkable.
