Very High Temperature Heat Pumps ( VHTHPS) should be avoided as an installation. The Seasonal Performance Factor ( SPF) shows the efficiency for Solar Assisted Heat Pumps ( SAHPs) and Hot Water Heat Pumps ( HWHPs), these are determined in test results taken as part of the heat pump product certification scheme. ErP updates related to calculating the Seasonal Performance Factor ( SPF) |
