Air and Ground Source Heat Pumps are both highly efficient renewable energy sources that heat homes by using naturally occuring heat from the environment. Which option is best for your home?
Air Source Heat Pumps
- Work by pumping heat from the air.
- Do not require a large garden area for installation as the pump is mounted on the outside of the property.
- If clients are looking to use more than 1 ASHP then Planning Permission will be required.
- Energy usage can increase during cooler times of the year and decrease in the warmer months.
- A property will need to be well insulated to receive the full benefit of the system.
- Less expensive to install due to unit only installation.
- System lifespan 20-25 years with little maintenance required.
Ground Source Heat Pumps
- Extracting heat from an underground piped system.
- Depending on the heat load of the property a large garden area may be required for installation.
- Low noise output.
- Very little energy fluctuations year round due to constant underground temperatures.
- A property will need to be well insulated to receive the full benefit of the system.
- Requires groundworks to install system therefore will work out more expensive than an air source heat pump.
- System lifespan 25+ years underground accessories 50+ years.
- Little maintenance required.

There are grants of up to £9000 available in England and Wales for customers wanting energy efficiency improvements and/or zero emission heating systems.
As of 1/8/26, If you are replacing Oil or LPG systems with ASHP or GSHP then you could claim up to £9000. If you are replacing gas or electric with ASHP or GSHP, then you could claim up to £7500. under the new Boiler Replacement Scheme (BUS).
To discuss: Contact one of our advisors: We are certified BUS scheme installers and qualified to help and assist you through the grant application.
