Best Water Source Heat Pumps by SCOP (2026)
Top 10 of 189 qualifying products · updated 2026-10-13
Water-to-water heat pumps up to 100 kW — domestic through to light commercial — ranked by SCOP at a 35°C flow temperature. Large chiller-based plant is excluded so like is compared with like. Only products with a published SCOP at W35 are included.
Every figure comes from the manufacturer’s published specification as recorded in the Heat Pump Database; near-identical variants (e.g. single- and three-phase versions with the same result) are shown once. The list updates automatically as new products are added.
