Nice article - until I read this:

Central heating, heat pump - 200+ [Efficiency (%)]

Damn - that puppy would probably pay for itself and set you up in the
business of selling power back to the utility company in no time!

Sorry, but it only deloivers heat energy, not electricity.

No Heat Pumps are really more than 100% efficient in terms of heat energy
delivered divided by electrical energy consumed. They do this by taking
in heat from outside. So you're not creating energy, you're just moving
some. Still the moved energy is still delivered inside, so it's worth
while to count.
