The Coefficient of Performance (COP) is a measure of your heat pump's efficiency. It tells you how much heat energy your system produces compared to the electrical energy it consumes.

For example, a COP of 3.0 means your heat pump produces 3 units of heat energy for every 1 unit of electrical energy it uses.

A high COP means:

The COP of heat pumps typically ranges from 2.0 to 5.0, depending on various factors such as:

Air source heat pumps usually have a COP between 2.5 and 4.0, while ground source (geothermal) heat pumps often achieve higher COPs, ranging from 3.0 to 5.0.

Remember, COP values can vary significantly depending on the season. In warmer months, your heat pump will typically achieve higher COP values compared to colder months.

To better understand what COP values you should aim for, check your heat pump's manual. It often provides reference COP values specific to your model, giving you a more accurate benchmark.

Balance can adjust your heat pump's settings based on outdoor temperatures, helping it run more efficiently and potentially boosting its energy performance (COP).

Keep your heat pump clean and well-maintained to ensure optimal performance.

Better insulation reduces heat loss, allowing your heat pump to work more efficiently.

Set your target temperature a degree or two lower. Even small reductions can significantly improve COP.

Set your tado° Smart Schedule to lower temperatures when you're away or sleeping.

By following these tips and leveraging all the smart features tado° has to offer, you can achieve your heat pump’s best possible COP, saving energy and reducing your heating costs.
