Heat Pump Electricity Calculator

Calculate power consumption & running costs

Calculate electricity consumption: Determine how much electricity your heat pump uses annually, monthly, and daily based on system capacity, efficiency (COP), and local electricity rates.

Example Calculation

System Capacity: 8 kW
COP: 3.5
Heating Hours: 2,000/year
Electricity Rate: £0.25/kWh
Standing Charge: £0.45/day
Rate Increase: 3%/year

Calculation:

1
Input Power = Capacity ÷ COP = 8 ÷ 3.5 = 2.29 kW
2
Annual kWh = Input Power × Hours = 2.29 × 2,000 = 4,571 kWh
3
Usage Cost = kWh × Rate = 4,571 × £0.25 = £1,143
4
Standing Charges = £0.45 × 365 days = £164
5
Total Annual Cost = £1,143 + £164 = £1,307/year
