energy coefficients

hi all,
this is my first post though i have been a lurker for quite a while! So please forgive me if this area has been previously covered.

I have just recieved a qoute for the instalation of a groung heat pump, contained in the qoute were figures for the energy coefficiencies of the product based on my SAP. they were 3.42 at best running and 2.74 at worst. What do they mean? and most importantly how do i use them to work out how much carbon i'll be saving and wether this is the best solution for my heating and hot water. basically will the system mean i am just replacing my current oil use with electricity from the grid or is there a genuine saving!

many thanks in advance
