Affordable Air & Heating‘s heat pump technicians in Palmdale, CA, can explain the difference of air-source and ground-source heat pumps to you. The basic gist is that air-source heat pumps take heat from the air and redistribute it either indoors or outdoors depending on your needs. Ground-source heat pumps rely on geothermal energy. Air-source heat pumps tend to be easier to install and have the capacity to handle almost all residential needs. Ground-source heat pumps, on the other hand, are more expensive and difficult to install; however, they are more efficient and come with lower operation costs.
Proper heat pump installation can make a huge difference in efficiency and lifespan. Many of the newer models have advanced technology that allow them to remain efficient for as long a 20 to 25 years. After that, you’ll need to get a replacement. Newer models also tend to operate quietly and some can even improve indoor air quality. They may even have smart technology integrated into them.

Reliable Heat Pump Installations
Heat pumps consist of two different parts. They’re similar to mini split ductless systems in the sense that a unit needs to be installed indoors and another one outdoors. The two components are connected by power cables and communication cables. Heat pumps can both cool and heat a home and do not require the installation of any custom ductwork at all.
These systems are becoming more popular amongst many homeowners. They’re even installed on commercial properties. Some of the benefits that they can provide include:
- Greater efficiency and performance
- Better for the environment
- Safer for the home
- Lower energy bills associated with use
