.                COP  
.   COP is an acronym for Coefficient Of Performance.   It is a term used to rate the
efficiency of a HEAT PUMP at any one given set of conditions.  
See HSPF for another heat
pump rating term.  Heat Pumps use electricity to move heat energy from one space to
another.    

.   The simplest way to heat with electricity as an energy source is what we call
STRAIGHT
RESISTANT ELECTRIC HEAT
.  This method, while the least expensive to buy, is also the
most expensive to operate.  It has a
COP of 1.  Quite simply, this means that for every
dollar's worth of electricity you buy, you get one dollar's worth of heat.  Not bad, you might
say, "that's 100% efficient", but what if you could get 500%?

.   Since HEAT PUMPS don't actually burn up the electricity you buy,
they can get you
more heat than you pay for
.  

.   An
AIR TO AIR HEAT PUMP can easily average a COP of over 3, which means you
get $3.00 worth of heat for every $1.00 worth of electricity you buy.  The COP on ATAHPs
vary widely from near 4 on warm days  to below 2 on very cold days.  
This is where
DUAL FUEL systems really shine.

.   A
GEOTHERMAL HEAT PUMP can easily reach a COP of nearly 5, which means you
get $5.00 worth of heat for every $1.00 worth of electricity you buy.  Geothermal COPs do
not vary much from one day to the next.

.   The higher the number, the lower your utility bills are.  Please take time to read about
