Heat Pump ROI Calculator: 1.8 years. Estimated running cost $156.52/year; annual saving $1,643.48.

Formula applied

The exact method behind this answer

CalculationTime keeps the method visible so the number can be checked instead of blindly trusted.

Estimated heat pump running cost = current annual cost / 0.92 / COP x electricity rate. Annual saving = current annual cost - heat pump running cost. Payback = installed cost / annual saving.

Formula

Estimated heat pump running cost = current annual cost / 0.92 / COP x electricity rate. Annual saving = current annual cost - heat pump running cost. Payback = installed cost / annual saving.

Worked example

With $1,800 current heating cost, COP 3.5 and $0.28/kWh, estimated heat pump running cost is about $156 and annual saving is about $1,644.

Methodology & Accuracy

How this calculator is checked

CalculationTime pages are built around visible arithmetic: the formula, assumptions, worked example and practical limitations are shown so the result can be checked rather than simply trusted.

Formula used

Estimated heat pump running cost = current annual cost / 0.92 / COP x electricity rate. Annual saving = current annual cost - heat pump running cost. Payback = installed cost / annual saving.

Standard or basis

Basis: transparent planning arithmetic using the visible inputs and assumptions on this page.

Where a calculator follows a named legal, trade or industry standard, that standard is cited visibly. Otherwise the page uses transparent general arithmetic and states its limits.
