The weather-compensated heating curve is an intelligent function in modern heat pumps that automatically adjusts the temperature of the heating water based on outdoor weather conditions. This ensures optimal indoor comfort, reduces energy consumption, and lowers heating costs. 

How Does the Weather-Compensated Heating Curve Work? 

Most traditional heating systems operate with a fixed temperature setting, regardless of weather changes. The weather-compensated heating curve allows the heat pump to intelligently and fully automatically adjust to outdoor conditions and user preferences, ensuring efficient operation: 

  • At lower outdoor temperatures, the system increases the heating water temperature to maintain the desired indoor temperature. 
  • At higher outdoor temperatures, the system reduces heating output, preventing overheating and lowering energy consumption. 

This dynamic adjustment improves energy efficiency and adapts the heating system to changing weather conditions.

Benefits of the Weather-Compensated Heating Curve 

  • Energy Efficiency  – The system produces only as much heat as needed to maintain the desired indoor temperature, reducing energy losses and optimizing electricity consumption. 
  • Lower Heating CostsBy precisely adjusting heating operation according to outdoor temperatures, energy consumption is reduced, directly lowering monthly heating expenses. 
  • Comfort and Consistent TemperatureThe weather-compensated heating curve prevents temperature fluctuations, ensuring a comfortable and stable indoor climate throughout the year.

How to Set Up a Weather-Compensated Heating Curve? 

For optimal system performance, we recommend having our experts configure the heating curve. Several key factors must be considered during setup: 

  • Outdoor Temperature – The system adjusts heating output according to changes in ambient temperature. 
  • Building Insulation – Good insulation reduces heating demand, allowing for a more energy-efficient heating curve. 
  • Type of Heating System – Underfloor heating typically requires lower water temperatures than radiators, affecting the heating curve settings. 
  • Desired Indoor Temperature – The heating curve is set according to user preferences for indoor comfort.
