Efficiency

A critical factor in deciding on a heating / cooling system is efficiency.
Efficiency or coefficient of performance (COP) is the ratio between the electricity used and the energy supplied to the room.

For example, a COP of 4 means for every unit of electricity purchased you get 4 units of heating/cooling into the relevant space. (i.e. Ratio 1:4) In other words, the greater the COP, the better.

Simply put, the more efficient the unit, the lower your electricity bill and the lower your contribution to carbon emissions.
