Goals:
1. Climate comfort - where you can’t tell whether heating is on or off and you feel comfortable
2. Efficient boiler to minimise costs and pollution

Small but important tweak to the comfort comparison graph. To derive the overall mean for each system it now only uses room temperature data from the heating season, and only when the outside temperature is 10°C or below, which is when the heating is very likely to be on 💚

Gas consumption is currently about 3kW at 1.6°C outside and should be around 4.2kW at -3°C outside. Perfect room temperature maintained. Well done to the Heat Pump > Agile team 🍃💚🥳 Gas boiler 2nd cheapest 🙃

Perfect landing and 0.02°C overnight room temperature precision (sensor limit). Now doing a DHW cycle with the spooky moon behind. 🤯🎉🥳💚 @grafana.bsky.social @influxdb.com @janrosenow.bsky.social @openenergymon.bsky.social

Oh, what a delightful waste of wind with this warm weather. We could have been heating our homes and making some brilliantly cool comparisons. 😡🙃🍃🌡️♨️

Windy Britain means lower prices on Agile @octopus.energy 💚🍃 That can tip the maths so heat pumps beat gas on running cost. Boiler 🔥 remains a strong second 🙃. Tracker ⚡ has at times been cheaper than Cosy. Can our turbines keep producing enough wind?🤞💚🍃
