Heat Pumps & Air Handlers
Harrison Heat Pump Installation and repair
A heat pump is an energy-efficient device that provides both heating and cooling for your home. Unlike traditional furnaces or air conditioners that generate heat or cool air, heat pumps transfer heat from one place to another. During the winter, they extract heat from the outside air (even in cold temperatures) and move it indoors. In the summer, the process reverses, pulling heat from your home and releasing it outside, keeping your interior cool.
For more than 30 years, we’ve provided exceptional service to homes in Harrison, West Harrison, Ross, Bright, Lawrenceburg, Cleves, and the surrounding Cincinnati area. With our expert heat pump installation, repair, and maintenance we ensure your home heating and cooling system—and you—will be well taken care of for years to come.
Types of Heat Pumps
There are three primary types of heat pumps: air source, ground source, and water source. Our expert technicians can help you determine which will best fit your needs.
Air Source Heat Pumps
Air Source Heat PumpsThis type of heat pump is the most common, and is often used in milder climates. They transfer heat between your house and the outside air.
Ground Source (Geothermal) Heat Pumps
These systems transfer heat between your house and the ground. They are more expensive to install but offer higher efficiency, making them ideal for variable climates.
Water Source Heat Pumps
These systems exchange heat with a nearby water source, such as a lake or pond, and are typically used in specific residential or commercial applications.
Benefits of Heat Pumps
Heat pumps offer several advantages, including:
Energy Efficiency
Heat pumps can be up to four times more efficient than traditional heating and cooling systems because they move heat rather than generating it.
Cost Savings
Lower energy consumption translates to reduced utility bills.
Environmental Impact
Reduced energy use means fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
Dual Functionality
They provide both heating and cooling, eliminating the need for separate systems.
When Should You Replace Your Heat Pump in Harrison, Ohio?
Like any other home appliance, heat pumps have a lifespan. Most Cincinnati heat pumps last between 10 to 15 years, but this can vary based on usage, maintenance, and other factors. Here are some signs that it might be time to replace your heat pump:
Age
If your heat pump is over 10-15 years old, it's likely nearing the end of its operational life. Advances in technology mean newer models are more energy-efficient, which can save you money in the long run.
Increased Energy Bills
A noticeable increase in your energy bills without a corresponding increase in usage can indicate that your heat pump is working harder than it should. As heat pumps age, they lose efficiency, which can drive up your energy costs.
Frequent Repairs
If you find yourself calling a technician more often, your heat pump may be on its last legs. Frequent breakdowns are a sign that the system is deteriorating and might not be worth the cost of constant repairs.
Inconsistent Temperatures
If your home experiences hot or cold spots, or if the heat pump struggles to maintain a consistent temperature, it may be time for a replacement. This inconsistency can be due to failing components or a loss of efficiency.
Strange Noises
Unusual noises like grinding, squealing, or rattling coming from your heat pump can indicate serious mechanical issues. While some noises can be repaired, persistent sounds often mean that a replacement is necessary.
Reduced Airflow
If the airflow from your vents seems weak, it could be due to a failing compressor or issues with the ductwork. While some airflow problems can be fixed, consistent issues may require a new system.
Excessive Moisture or Dust
A failing heat pump might not dehumidify the air properly, leading to increased moisture levels inside your home. Similarly, if you notice an unusual amount of dust, it might be due to an inefficient system failing to filter the air correctly.
Choosing a New Harrison Heat Pump
When replacing your heat pump, our technicians will help you consider the following factors to choose the best system for your needs.
Size and Capacity
A system that is too small will struggle to heat or cool your home, while one that is too large will cycle on and off too frequently, leading to inefficiency and wear.
Efficiency Ratings
We look for high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) and HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) ratings for better efficiency and lower operational costs.
Rebates and Incentives
There are often available rebates or incentives from manufacturers, local utilities, or government programs that can help offset the cost.
Professional Installation
Ensure that a qualified professional installs your heat pump to guarantee optimal performance and longevity.

Heat Pumps
A heat pump heats and cools a home. A heat pump works as an air conditioner during the cooling season, and a heating system in the winter. It has indoor and outdoor components that look similar to an air conditioner.
To cool a home, the heat pump uses the same process as an air conditioner – the system pulls heat from the air inside the house and releases it outdoors to lower indoor temperatures. During heating season, the heat pump pulls heat from the outside air and transfers it indoors to warm the air.

Air Handlers
An air handler uses a component called a blower to circulate air throughout your home. It also holds the evaporator coil and sometimes heating coils. This equipment sits inside your home and works with an air conditioner or heat pump.
With a heat pump, the air handler usually works as the indoor component on your two-part split system to keep your indoor temperature comfortable year-round. They are often located in the basement, attic, or dedicated closet. As you might have guessed from its name, the air handler “handles” the air inside your home, delivering warm or cool indoor air throughout your entire home when you want it.
