The Heat Pump page shows you the current temperature in your home, your heat pump’s current operation mode, and how much energy your heat pump has recently used. You can also turn off your heat pump optimization during times that you want to ensure your home remains particularly comfortable (for example, on extremely cold days or when you are hosting an event).
How does heat pump optimization work?
The goal of heat pump optimization is to minimize your energy costs while ensuring your home remains at a comfortable temperature. When you are setting up your heat pump on the Heat Pump Setup page, you specify both your cost vs. energy use goals and the minimum temperature you will allow your home to reach until optimization automatically turns off and your heat pump remains under your own manual control. You can also manually turn off optimization at any time to ensure your home remains particularly comfortable (for example, on extremely cold days or when you are hosting an event). When optimization remains on, the Consumer Portal automatically maintains a balance between the cost to run your heat pump vs. keeping your home at a comfortable temperature.
