Innovative heating curve optimisation feature enables tado° customers to optimise heat pump operation
London, 29.01.2025 - tado°, a leading European provider of intelligent energy management solutions, today launches its new heating optimisation function.
The new feature enables people to conveniently set the heating curve of their heat pump through the tado° app and Heat Pump Optimizer X. This allows the heat pump to heat more efficiently and save on energy.
The heating optimisation function allows the customer to conveniently set the heating curve in the tado° app with five options – Comfort, Standard, Moderate, Eco and Eco Plus. In some heat pump installations the initial setting is made by the installer, who may be estimating the thermal conditions of the building. This means it may be set too high and use too much energy unnecessarily. By setting the heating curve using the tado° app, the customer can fine tune their system to decide how fast the heat pump operates and improve its efficiency.
The Heat Pump Optimiser X from tado° is required for intelligent control of the heat pump. The new function can be found in the tado° app under ‘Settings’ --> ‘Heat pump’.
About Heat Pump Optimiser X
Heat Pump Optimizer X was launched in the UK along with the rest of the tado° X range in November. Heat Pump Optimizer X excels through working with the main heat pump controller to allow customers to simply set smart scheduling for heating and hot water as well as manually adjust temperatures in the tado° app.
With the addition of Wireless or Wired Smart Radiator Thermostat X, it allows the individual control of the heating per room in homes with heat pumps – which is unique to tado°.
When used in conjunction with tado°’s Balance for Heat Pumps loadshifting service and dynamic energy tariffs, the Optimizer X can shift operation times of a heat pump to periods when electricity prices are lower each day. It applies to space heating and domestic hot water heating.
Heat Pump Optimizer X is compatible with the principal manufacturers in the European market: Atlantic, Vaillant, Saunier Duval, Fujitsu, Daikin and Panasonic, and development for other brands is continuing. It can also operate as a Thread border router to communicate with the other tado° X products and third-party Matter devices in a customer’s home.
