The price-based control of HeatAdapt is clearly visible during the heating season when comparing the overall electricity consumption data of the house with HeatAdapt's heating schedules. Electricity consumption data can be viewed, for example, via the electricity provider's app. When the market price is high and there are red hours on the HeatAdapt heating schedule, a noticeable decrease in the building's electricity consumption is usually observed.
In general, during peak hours, indicated by red hours in the web app, the heat pump's power is significantly reduced or the heat pump operation is paused, and the compressor is not running. For air-to-water heat pumps, this can be checked by seeing if the outdoor unit has shut down. For ground source heat pumps, it can be heard when the compressor is not running. Depending on the heat pump and its settings, lower-temperature domestic hot water production may be allowed during peak hours.
