Calcule el Coeficiente de Rendimiento (COP) para calefacción o la Tasa de Eficiencia Energética (EER) para refrigeración de una bomba de calor.
Unlike furnaces that create heat, heat pumps move heat, making them much more efficient. Their efficiency is measured by several key ratios:
What is a "good" COP or EER rating?
A good COP for heating is typically above 3.5. A good EER for cooling is generally above 12. Modern, high-efficiency units can have much higher ratings. These values are crucial for comparing different models and understanding your long-term energy costs.
Why are there so many different ratings (COP, EER, SEER, HSPF)?
Because a heat pump's efficiency changes dramatically with the outdoor temperature. COP and EER measure performance at a single, fixed temperature, making them good for direct comparison under specific conditions. SEER and HSPF are "seasonal" averages that give a better estimate of performance over an entire year in a mixed climate.
