What's the COP?
There's just a vague 3-5x more efficient claim on your web site. More efficient than what?
I currently have a 5-year-old 2.8ish COP whole house system that won't last forever. I get a monster bill in January and February, so when it's time to replace it, I'd like to go with something a bit more modern.

COP varies depending on the outdoor conditions, but you can infer COP at various temperatures by looking at the HSPF2 (heating season performance factor) which is the weighted average of the btu output/watt input at various outdoor/indoor conditions.
