Heat Pumps can switch on and off regularly, but they are usually happier when running more constantly. Some live data is discussed here showing the gains and losses. The monitor system used comes from openenergymonitor.org/ and data used from heatpumpmonitor.org/
Whilst cycling (stopping and starting) is the normal way of limiting the output of things, heat pumps don't like too much of it. Its hard to know if cycling is causing a problem or not. I have shown some good examples and some very bad ones. The Carnot COP comparator is at heatpumps.co.uk/cop-estimator/
