Air-source heat pumps

Typically air source heat pumps are a little cheaper and easier to install so you find they have been the most widely used heat pump. These types of heat pumps do have their limitations though mainly due to using outside air as a heat source.

Ground source heat pumps

Ground source heat pumps are sometimes referred to as Geothermal heat pumps. Generally you find these types of heat pumps have higher efficiencies than air-source heat pumps. The reason for this is that these heat pumps draw heat from the ground or groundwater. Heat from the ground is at a relatively constant temperature all year round below a certain depth which means that the temperature differential is lower and therefore results in higher efficiency.
