Basically no common A/C is 30% efficient in any sense of the word. There's a scenario where you can argue it can get as low as 50%, but no common A/C I have ever heard of is using moving less than 2x heat power as electricity power used. 30% is wrong no matter how you cut it.
And, "efficiency" doesn't matter. COP does. COP is what is reflected on your electrical bills.
- clairity 4y agoit's basic thermodynamics. you mixed the two, as i explained previously, and now you're leaning into the misconception, rather than acknowledging the difference.
- coryrc 4y agoIn no way is anything you said in either post of use to anyone. If I am in my house, use 1000 W of electricity, get 3000 W of heating, that is what is important. No shit the extra heat comes from the environment. It doesn't matter unless you live within a house completely located inside an artificial climate-controlled area, which applies to... none. No houses.
