Performance (COP) of 4.8 means that for every 1 kW of power used from the grid (or from your solar power system) the Heat Pump put into the water 4.8 kW of effective power, by extracting heat energy from air. The Ecogenica 215 and 290 models are fully dedicated Heat Pumps and use the most advanced Reverse Cycle Heating Technology to heat the water instead of the air.
