This calculator estimates the cost of installing and running a heat pump system in European homes. It also compares yearly energy costs with traditional gas heating systems.
Heating Load = Home Size × 60 W/m²
Recommended Heat Pump Size = Heating Load ÷ 1000
Energy Consumption = Heating Load ÷ COP
Annual Heat Pump Cost = Energy × Electricity Price
Payback Period = Installation Cost ÷ Yearly Energy Savings
Home Size = 120 m²
COP = 3.5
Heating Hours = 2000
Recommended Heat Pump ≈ 7 kW system
COP (Coefficient of Performance) measures heat pump efficiency. Higher COP means better energy efficiency.
In many European countries heat pumps reduce heating costs due to high efficiency and government subsidies.
Typical residential homes require 5–12 kW heat pumps depending on home size and insulation.
Most heat pump installations pay back within 5–10 years depending on energy prices and subsidies.
