How is it that a machine (like a heat pump) can consume 1kw of power and produce an amount greater than that of heat? What am I misunderstanding?

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”.
