An air source heat pump is less expensive to install than a ground-source system, because it requires less materials. While ground source utilize pipes embedded several feet underground that involves more labor and equipment. However, ground-source heat pumps are much cheaper to operate. The systems both have their pros and cons that needed to be considered. Ground-source and air-source heat pumps are both highly efficient and environment friendly systems.
