It indicates how many kWh of heat are generated per kWh of electricity and relates to the entire heating system. Depending on the heat pump used, the COP is usually between 3.0 and 6.<\/p>\n<p>Another key figure is the <strong>COP (Coefficient of Performance)<\/strong>, a snapshot taken under laboratory conditions. It only takes into account the performance of the heat pump itself. The COP describes the ratio between the thermal energy generated and the electrical energy consumed, i.e. the electricity consumption. Efficient heat pumps generally have a COP value between 3 and 5. Below a value of 3, the heat pump can be considered uneconomical in most cases.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-c4fb411b64d1b34cf fusion-toggle-no-divider fusion-toggle-boxed-mode\" style=\"--awb-title-font-size:18px;--awb-title-color:#59682f;--awb-content-color:#3f3f3f;\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><div class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_c4fb411b64d1b34cf\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"c4fb411b64d1b34cf\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-36740-1\" data-target=\"#c4fb411b64d1b34cf\" href=\"#c4fb411b64d1b34cf\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">What is the power consumption of a heat pump?<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><div id=\"c4fb411b64d1b34cf\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_c4fb411b64d1b34cf\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">\n<p>The <strong>electricity consumption of a heat pump<\/strong> depends on the required heat output.
