SCOP
SCOP is the seasonal coefficient of performance: how much heat a heat pump delivers on average per kWh of electricity over a whole heating season.
SCOP (Seasonal Coefficient of Performance) is a seasonal heating efficiency figure determined under EN 14825. Unlike the instantaneous COP, it covers the whole heating season: mild and cold days, part-load operation, defrosting and standby.
The higher the SCOP, the less electricity is needed for the same amount of heat. A SCOP of 5.0 means that over the season roughly 5 kWh of heat is obtained from 1 kWh of electricity on average.
- The EU energy label states SCOP for a climate zone (usually the “average” climate), so the real result in Lithuania depends on the building, the heating system temperature and how the home is used.
- For air-to-water heat pumps SCOP is given separately for low (35 °C) and medium (55 °C) temperature systems – compare the one that matches your emitters.
- Only compare figures stated by the same method and for the same climate zone.
When selecting Mitsubishi Electric equipment, our engineers assess SCOP together with the capacity at the design outdoor temperature – that is the only way to see the real efficiency of the system in your home.
