Advantages Of Ground Source Heat Pumps
It is cheaper to run a heat pump for heating than to use electricity for heating. The cost of running a ground source heat pump is also lower than running gas or oil boilers. Depending on the type of ground source heat pump you install, you can expect savings of between 500 to pounds every year.
Heat pumps mean zero carbon emissions. These systems can be powered with 100% renewable energy. Regular heating systems cannot work this way. Traditional systems emit carbon, and this slowly damages the environment.
Your heating can be 24/7 as you can never run out fuel with heat pumps. You don’t take up the space required for a furnace when you have a heat pump installed.

A Little More On Air Source Heat Pumps
Here’s how Air Source Heat Pumps work
ASHP harvests hot air from outside the house and funnels it inside via the indoor units. The system increases the temperature from the heat extracted outside. The fluid inside the heat pump makes this possible. You can even use the heat from a heat pump to heat water in the house.
How Much Could an Air Source Heat Pump Save Me?
Air source heat pumps will also result in significant savings, just like with ground source heat pumps. When you compare heat pumps to electric resistance heaters, you are looking at savings of about £400 each year.
Comparing Air Source Heat Pumps and Ground Source Heat Pumps
Making a choice between these types of heat pumps can be difficult for a few people. You will spend more installing a ground source heat pump. However, GSHP happens to be more energy efficient.
Water sources or underground energy can provide heat for ground source heat pumps. This means that ground source pumps work better and save more. Air Source Heat Pumps consume more energy than Ground Source Heat Pumps. This is as a result of higher underground temperatures than in the air. This means that to increase the temperature in your home, ASHP will use up more energy. But air source heat pumps cost less to install. Unfortunately, these systems lose performance during the cold months. Air Source Heat Pumps are quite easy to set up, much like an air condition unit. Ground source heat pumps, however, will require that you dig into the ground. Therefore, make sure you have a suitable land. Both types of heat pumps are reliable, but installation process differ.
