What am I misunderstanding? In: 320 29 Answers ActiveNewestOldest Anonymous Posted January 4, 2023 0 Comments OP – it does not produce, it MOVES. It is using electrical energy to carry heat from one side to the other. Both heat and energy are measured in kwh, so you’re saying “I moved 3 kwh of thermal energy and this cost me 1 kwh of electrical energy”.
