Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes it is true that COP of heat pump always greater than 1.But the COP of refrigeration can be greater or less than 1.

We know that

COP of heat pump= 1 + COP of refrigeration

It is clear that COP can not be negative .So from the above expression we can say that COP of heat pump is always greater than one.
