Pretty sure a heat pump doesn't do anything near 100% efficiency because moving air with a fan is horribly inefficient. Think they quoted 85%. In my case I waste 2500 watts just running air through with the all 3 of the fans on: 2 outside, one in the heat exchanger. Add another amount for the compressor if it's needed and your talking serious wattage
