    Air source i have no time for unless you are building a home to very high standards of air tightness and insulation , where it will only be used as a boost or backup unit really.

    ground source works well if the installation is done correctly and the house is well insulated and good air tightness etc.

    I wouldnt reccomend any unit in particular cause i have seen too many suppliers etc go bust these last few years to be reccomending any.

    Obviously ground source costs a lot more, personally when i go to build i would be pumping more money into minimising heat loss rather than trying to find cheap ways to heat house.
