Air Source Heat Pumps
If you’re looking for the most affordable heat pump than an air source heat pump (ASHP) is your answer. They use air outside of a home to collect heat and transfer this heat inside the home either for heating air or water. This is why you can get air to air heat pumps or air to water heat pumps. Air to water heat pumps work well when used in combination with underfloor heating.
For every unit of electricity inputted to an air source heat pump, 3 - 4 units is created in heat making them the most efficient domestic renewable technologies one can buy. There exist 7 key stages in the cycle of an air source heat pump with the compression of gaseous refrigerant being the most critical and energy intensive step.

Ground Source Heat Pumps
The sun heats up the earth and ground throughout the year, even in the winter season. A ground source heat pump (GSHP) is built to capture this stored heat which is typically constant between 8 and 12 degrees Celsius.
Ground source heat pumps can be installed in one of 2 ways. If ground space is limited, bore hole(s) will be drilled to a depth between 15 - 150m. Pipes with refrigerant will be inserted into the bore hole. Similarly, if space is widely available a more shallow set up can be used over a larger surface area. As the ground temperature is relatively stable throughout the different seasons, the heat output and therefore efficiency is also more predictable than air source heat pumps.

What are heat pumps and how do heat pumps work?
As the name suggests, a heat pump quite literally pumps heat from one environment to another. This usually from an external system with infinite volume to an internal system with finite volume such as a home or building.
In order to transfer 3 - 4 kwh of heat, 1kwh of electrical energy is used.
Depending on your individual system the heat can be delivered in a variety of forms including a hot water cylinder, air, radiators and underfloor heating. Both air source and ground source work in similar ways except one uses the atmosphere as reservoir to collect heat from and the other uses the ground.

What are heat pumps and how do heat pumps work?
A heat pump is an electrically driven device that utilizes the energy that is already in the environment to heat or cool a house.
It extracts heat from the outside and projects it inside, even in winter!

Frequently Asked Questions
Air Source Heat Pumps - These are the most popular of all 3 as they have the lowest cost and only require a small space outside for the compressor unit. Ground Source Heat Pumps - Requiring bore holes, ground source heat pumps provide stable heat all year round Water Source Heat Pumps - If there is a water source nearby such as a river, lake or large pond, water source heat pumps are often the most suitable
The answer to this varies heavily according to the individual heat pump system. Factors such as insulation, size of home as well as the ratings all need to be considered. Generally speaking an air source heat pump will cost between $3,000 - $20,000 (quite a range, we know!) and a ground source heat pump will cost $20,000 or more. Find out more here.
Yes. Homeowners and businesses can claim up to $5,000 off their new heat pump system as part of the Canada Greener Homes Initiative. Find out more here.
Air source heat pumps are like fridges that operate in reverse. They take heat from outside and pass this heat inside using electricity. This process is done in a very efficient manner and is completely renewable given the fact that there will always be air outside.
Commonly abbreviated as GSHP’s, ground source heat pumps collects stored thermal energy from the ground and delivers this inside your home or building to heat your water.
No is the simple answer. Ground source heat pumps are relatively quiet as they do not require a fan like air source and even with air source heat pumps. By law a heat pump should not be higher than 45 decibels which is similar to a domestic fridge meaning it should not cause any disruption to your or your neighbours.
