How efficient are air source heat pumps?
When it comes to energy efficiency, air source heat pumps far surpass electric resistance, natural gas or oil furnaces and boilers. Electric resistance systems have a coefficient of performance (COP) of 1 and high efficiency gas systems have a COP of 0.95. At standard testing conditions (47°F), air source heat pumps can have a COP of 3 or greater, meaning a heat pump can deliver three times as much energy as it uses. While air source heat pumps do lower in efficiency in colder temperatures, cold-climate heat pumps even at 5°F will have a COP ≥ 1.75
