Two ways to read the same certified data. Switch any time; your choice is remembered on this device.
Ranked by efficiency on a 5°f day only
How much heat the unit makes from each unit of electricity when it is 5°F outside. An electric baseboard heater has a COP of 1, so a COP of 2 means twice the heat from the same electricity in the 5°F test. This list ranks by that one rating. For the units that hold up best in the cold overall, see the cold-climate picks.
