How to calculate heat pump cop
This calculator finds heat pump COP (coefficient of performance) by dividing heat output by electrical input — the standard efficiency metric for heat pump heating performance.
How the calculation works
COP = Heat output ÷ Electrical input (in matching units).
Example
10,000 BTU-equivalent of heat delivered from 3,200 BTU-equivalent of electrical input: COP = 10,000 ÷ 3,200 ≈ 3.1.

Pro Tips for Heat Pump COP
- COP decreases as outdoor temperature drops for air-source heat pumps — always note the outdoor temperature when comparing COP figures.
- A COP above 1 is expected and normal for heat pumps, since they move existing heat rather than generating it directly from the input energy.
Common Heat Pump COP Mistakes to Avoid
- Comparing COP figures measured at different outdoor temperatures as if they represent constant, comparable efficiency.
