Cadmium Enjoyer 𓅃: I know exactly how they work, I was after actual best case performance figures.

Myths around heat pumps are widespread. Not because they are true but because they are deliberately spread by bad faith actors. Thanks to the Economist for this article and for quoting my @carbonbrief.org heat pump myth buster. www.economist.com/europe/2024/...

The EU should be the world’s heat-pump pioneerwww.economist.com But the union is falling behind in its efforts

What sort of ratio of heat out vs energy used are they getting now? Because when I last looked at them gas was still cheaper per kWh of heat.

Heat pumps get better than 100% coefficient of performance because they don't create heat, they move it around. It depends on your local situation whether your prices reflect reality, or whether fossil fuels continue to be subsidised and allowed to disguise their costs.
