A heatpump just moves the heat that's already outside into the room.

Thanks for all the answers. I understand now. The air conditioner/heat pump does not convert the heat to another form, such as electricity or mechanical work, it just moves it from the air, through a medium, such as freon back to the air again. Since no conversion is taking place the power the air conditioner actually uses then accounts for the effort to move the heat and some losses of the components; the compressor and the fans. The power (W) to move the air is the product of the volume flow rate (m^/s) and the pressure (Pa or N/m^2), and that would be less then the electrical power supplied, because of losses.
