Is that so? I thought electric generation from natural gas was at least 80% efficient - and transmission losses maybe can pull that as far down as 66% - but not down to 1/3.
- voisin 3y agoI think they are referring to the COP of a heat pump as at least 3, whereas natural gas appliances by definition must be below 1.
