A heat pump functions a lot like a refrigerator: heat is transferred from the interior of a refrigerator to the outside via a refrigerant fluid - the same principle applies in a heat pump. However, heat pumps can be used for heating, cooling, and dehumidification. ‘Moving’ heat in this way is more energy-efficient than generating heat from scratch, such as by burning fossil fuels or biomass in boilers.

COP = heating power / electrical input (heating)
COP = cooling power / electrical Input (cooling)
The efficiency can be affected by the type of heat pump and its capacity, and depends on the operating temperature level and the temperature difference between heat pump evaporator and condenser.
