Types of Heat Pumps

There are three main types of heat pumps: air-source, ground-source (geothermal), and water-source. Air-source heat pumps extract heat from the air, making them ideal for moderate climates. Ground-source or geothermal heat pumps use the stable temperature of the earth for heat transfer, providing greater efficiency in colder climates. Water-source heat pumps, on the other hand, use bodies of water like lakes or ponds as a heat source.
