The document compares different heating technologies: ground source gas absorption heat pumps (GAHP GS), geothermal electric heat pumps, air source GAHPs (GAHP A), and water source GAHPs (GAHP WS). It notes that GAHPs are a blend of gas boilers and heat pumps. GAHPs provide advantages over gas boilers like using renewable energy sources and higher efficiency. They also have advantages over electric heat pumps like lower electricity usage and ability to use different heat sources.
