A Co-Efficient of Performance (COP) is a ratio of heat energy produced compared to electrical energy consumed by an appliance. The higher the COP, the less energy is consumed to produce the same amount of heat. A comparison of COPs shows that electric heating has a COP of 1; meaning for every ikw of energy consumed only ikw of heat is produced. Gas heating is even lower at 0.85, which means for every 1kW consumed only 0.85kW of useful heat is produced.
Deye Air Source Hot Water Heat Pumps are extremely energy efficient and can achieve COPs between 3-4, meaning they can produce 3-4kW of heat for every 1kW consumed. As no fossil fuels are directly burnt in the operation of a heat pump.
Why Choose A Hot Water Heat Pump?
According to the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA), hot water usage accounts for up to 30% of a home’s annual power bill. Hot Water Heat Pumps can provide energy efficient solutions for all applications where water is heated or cooled.
