A domestic appliance includes a heat pump including a compressor; a power inverter electrically connected with the heat pump; and a controller operably connected with the heat pump and the power inverter, wherein the controller is configured to perform an operation. The operation includes determining an instantaneous current input at the domestic appliance; receiving a signal from a remote terminal, the signal including a total current input at the remote terminal, the instantaneous current input being at least a portion of the total current input; comparing the total current input against a current input limit at the circuit breaker after receiving the signal; and adjusting a current input at the domestic appliance from the instantaneous current input according to the comparison of the total current input and the current input limit at the circuit breaker.
