In this episode we compare air source and ground source (also called geothermal) heat pumps.

In summary, ground source heat pumps have a higher upfront cost and require digging a trench but are more energy efficient and have a longer lifespan.

Air source heat pumps are cheaper to install and take up less space, however they don't last as long and their efficiency is lower and more dependent on the weather.

If you have any questions about heat pumps, please send me an email at [email protected]

I will do my best to answer your heat pump questions and/or connect you to a reputable contractor who can help.
