As energy flows from a reservoir at high temperature to a reservoir at low temperature, some is converted to work and the rest is wasted.

This would be the case for a thermal engine.

But in a heat pump, work input allows heat to be transferred from the cooler reservoir to the warmer.

Hence: work provided + heat released by the cooler res. = heat received by the warmer res.
