How to estimate heat pump correctly
The 2000 W and 8 h/day values are an editable example, not a claim about every model. This appliance is best treated as continuous or recurring use.
What to verify
Seasonal efficiency varies with outdoor temperature and flow temperature. Do not treat the nameplate maximum as a year-round average.
Formula
Power (W) ÷ 1,000 × active hours × electricity rate. This example uses 16 kWh/day, 480 kWh/30 days and 5,840 kWh/year.
Accuracy limit
The calculator prices the values you enter. It cannot know thermostat cycles, power modes, losses, appliance condition or the exact tariff on your bill; verify those inputs for a decision.
