A heat pump is a machine or device that moves heat from one location (the ‘source’) to another location (the ‘sink’ or ‘heat sink’) using mechanical work (Normally Electrical input). Most heat pump technology moves heat from a low temperature heat source to a higher temperature heat sink.
A lever can lift a load greater than the force used. As a heat pump is only moving the heat, the electrical input is the lever. The efficiency of the heat pump is called the COP, Co-efficiency of performance, varies from 3.0 to 5.0 on average.
