I would not call that a 100% efficiency. The efficiency of a heatpump is expressed in Watt per Watt, ie, how many watts of thermal energy are moved per watt of electric energy.
The reason is that simply a heat pump does not convert electrical to thermal energy, so it has no comparable efficiency in that process.

- zaarn 6y agoNo, Heat Pumps are measured in COP (Coefficient of Performance), not thermodynamic efficiency or "the definition of efficiency for home heating". Which of the 5 definitions do you want to use?
