Just jumping too!
The pump will induce heat regardless of its efficiency. The efficiency will however dictate how much of the total energy (supplied by the electric co) is going to actually move water. For a centrifugal pump, that should be around 50%, according to Dave (depending on the pressure drop, of course).
