Annual heating COP may be high

1 post / 0 new

I am attempting to simulate a model for a geothermal system with a vertical
well field. The vertical wells showed up on the water side as GLHX
(VertWell-CM) which is great and it let me specify a pump and well depth,
even the type of fluid which is all good.

So everything is working except I have an error on what I think is the air
side. It says

EL1 Sys1 (PVVT) (G.N3)' Annual Heating COP (Total Annual Output/Total

Annual Input) may be high (Error: Ratio > 3.75)

Annual Heating COP = 5.03

Can anyone help with the info I have provided? I tried specifying the cfm
to each zone and to each heat pump. I have 4 heat pumps with this same
error. How do I lower the COP for annual heating?
