19.a heat pump has a COP rating of 2.5 to 1. If 200 watts of electricity are used to run the heat pump, how many equivalent watts(heat) are produced?
I don't know what exactly you mean by a "heat mat", but your question is kind of backwards. You don't run an electrical device *with* watts. You run them to *produce* watts (watts of light, watts of heat, watts of sound, etc). I believe the thing you are really asking is how many amps are required to run your device. As an example, consider a "1500 Watt heater" that is made to be plugged into a typical wall outlet in your home. The voltage in the wall is 120V, and the heater will produce 1500 watts of heat when plugged into that 120V. To calculate the amps, you divide the watts by the voltage. 1500W / 120V = 12.5A
About 3 kWh's of heat are created for every kWh of electricity it consumes
The power (in watts) can be calculated using the formula: Power (W) = Voltage (V) * Current (A). In this case, the power required to run the 3 amp well pump on 220 volts is 660 watts (220 V * 3 A = 660 W).
depending on conditions but generally a heat pump will cost you less to run.
the heat pump is cheaper but the pump does not work as well when its below 40 out side thats when you want to run heat strip
It would depend on how deep your well is, and how efficient the pump.
What kind of heat do you have? Heat Pump? Be glad it runs.
Increasing the watts, but the hire the watts the more u pay for ur electric bill. so 120vac will have to be 208vac to increase the wattage.
There is still enough heat in the air to run your heat pump when the temp is in the 30,s
11,000 watts will run a LOT of things. It MAY run an entire house- depending on the power used by the house. IF the house has electric heat, a deep well pump and electric water heater, maybe not. Gas heat, gas water heater, no well pump, probably yes. You need to add up the wattage used by all systems, add 50% to things that have a starting current (large motors like pumps or heat pumps) and see what you total usage is.
Take Amps times the volts to get Watts 115x15= 1725 120x15=1800 or 125x15=1875 (These are different voltages found in houses) i would go with the max of 125 volts and 1875 Watts so go for a 2000 watt (2kW) generator.
