I’ve never spoken with someone with an air source heat pump who thinks it is a good investment. People complain that they use more electricity than they thought they would, which seems to either be because they need to preheat the air (when it is cold) or they are just not as efficient as advertised (when it is cold) so when you actually want it, it doesn’t do a great job. Obviously anecdotal (sample size ~6) but it has put me off considering one.
Ground source seems to work better but costs so much to install I only know two people who have done it, and they were not driven by price.
