I assume you mean higher inside (e.g. living area) temperature? If so yes, it sounds like your system can do it. Remember: when running minimum input electricity (say 900w), it can’t use less, so artificially limiting output won’t always reduce electricity usage. It’s counterintuitive at first.

Is your Tado set to crazy temp say 30C? (To ensure “on” is sent and kept “on”)

Is it doing anything like TPI (which is bad for heat pumps)?

See this post for one of many negative comments on TPI and heat pumps:

> Sounds like you’ve got the same ashp and cylinder as us then slight_smile Getting the data into the emonpi requires some surgery on the ‘remote’, a bit of soldering, an esp8266, and an Arduino… Happy to give you some pointers on this, but I suspect it’s warranty voiding, so you may be better off watching the meter reading and outdoor temperature to give you an idea of ‘better’ or ‘worse’ for each change. More volume is always better. On our system, most of the cycling was down to the wall th…

Interesting why Octopus 🐙 didn’t install the Madoka as I thought that was standard.

If you’re running at dT of 5C (between flow and return) already, then you’re at the likely optimal configuration. You don’t really want to go lower than this as it’s likely this is most efficient.

What is your maximum flow rate you’re seeing when in heating mode?
