I know what you mean but it is actually nearly 100% efficient. The inefficient part is converting high entropy heat to low entropy electricity.
- GeneralMayhem 4y agoHeat pumps are significantly >100% efficient, if measured as (heat energy brought inside)/(electrical energy consumed).
- osigurdson 4y agoYes, because you are moving heat from one location to another. Same thing with a refrigerator.
