Ground and Air Source Heat Pumps - So what is the Difference?

The two types of heat pumps work in very similar ways but as the description suggests an air source heat pump extracts its energy from the outside ambient air, whereas the ground source heat pump takes its energy from a loop of pipe buried typically 2 metres under the ground. The temperature this deep underground averages about 12 degrees.
