What is the difference between the equilibrium balance point (thermal balance point) and economical balance point?
The thermal balance point is the outside temperature at which the amount of heating provided by Daikin Altherma equals the amount of heat lost from the house at setpoint. At this point, Daikin Altherma capacity matches the full heating needs of the house. The economic balance point is the outside temperature at which the cost of heat energy supplied by Daikin Altherma equals the cost of heat supplied by a supplementary heating system. In most cases the thermal balance point will be reached long before the economic balance point on a properly working Daikin Altherma system.
