Air Source or Ground Source?
Air source and ground source heat pumps work in slightly different ways, and each have their merits. The type of heat pump that is best for your property depends on a number of factors such as cost, space and efficiency. Both are very efficient, with two thirds of the energy required to power the heat pump taken from the ambient ground or air heat which is both renewable and free of charge. The remainder is provided from mains electricity or from on site renewable electricity sources such as solar PV.
