  Extract from report: Heat-pumping technologies for a modern society 2005:
  “Heat pumps are clever things – in principle you pay for 1 kWh of electricity and get 3-5 kWh of heat and 2-4 kWh of cooling. Heat pumps (in Sweden) are a standard solution for private homes. Heat pumps fit well into future sustainable energy systems.”

  "Heat pumps offer the most energy-efficient way to provide heating and cooling in many applications, as they can use renewable heat sources in our surroundings.”

  Extracts from report: Heat pumps – technology and environmental impact July 2005.
  “Heat pumps offer an energy efficient way to provide space heating… In comparison to a conventional boiler a highly efficient heat pump system will reduce the use of fossil fuel and reduce hazardous emissions. The heat pump technology in Sweden is today a “conventional” heating system and nobody needs convincing about the efficiency and the functionality of this technology.”

  “Improvements in energy efficiency, leading to lower environmental pollution, particularly by CO2, can be achieved in many ways. The heat pump, which can be used for heating and cooling buildings as well as in many industrial processes, offers the best prospects for attaining these goals in a wide variety of appropriate applications. “

  “For climates with moderate heating and cooling needs, heat pumps offer an energy-efficient alternative to furnaces… Because they move heat rather than generate heat, heat pumps can provide up to 4 times the amount of energy they consume.”

  Extract from report: Heating and Cooling With a Heat Pump 2004
  “A heat pump … would meet about 80 to 90 percent of the annual heating load. “
  
  
• The Heat Pump Association (HPA) http://www.feta.co.uk/hpa/
  “Heat pumps supply more energy than they consume, by extracting heat from their surroundings. Currently heat pump systems can supply as much as 3kW of heat output for just 1kW of energy input. “
