It's very climate-dependent - the colder the outside is, the less efficient air-source heat pumps tend to be (partly due to inherent reasons, and partly due to having to do work to defrost the outside unit) - if you're somewhere with relatively mild winters, COPs above 3.0 are very achievable with domestic units. If you live somewhere with extremely cold winters, it's much less achievable.
