Apex Pros is a licensed heat pump installer in Central Ohio, serving Columbus, Lancaster, Gahanna, Dayton, and surrounding cities and communities. Temperature extremes here are common—winters are cold and summers are known for intense heat. A heat pump can replace your furnace and AC, as it works as a heater and a cooling system to provide year-round comfort.

How does a heat pump differ from a traditional HVAC unit? It’s a 2-in-1 system that transports heat rather than creates it, saving a great deal of energy.

Our NATE-certified technicians install different types of heat pumps. They’re trained in the latest technologies, tools, and installation methods. Whether you’re updating from a traditional HVAC system or replacing your aging heat pump, we’ll find the best solution for you. That’s one of many reasons we’re known as the Home of the Pros.

Choosing the Right Heat Pump for Your Home: Sizing, Type, and Efficiency

To ensure you enjoy year-round comfort, Apex Pros does the hard work in selecting the right system. We’ll work alongside you to help you make an informed decision. A heat pump is just one of many home comfort solutions we offer. Visit our Learning Center for more insights into our products and services and how they can benefit you. 

Our process starts with a heat pump sizing and load calculation. Size, which is measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs) or tons, reveals how much space a system can heat or cool. The larger your home, the bigger the heat pump you’ll need. But square footage isn’t the only consideration. Other factors that our technicians use include:

  • Local climate
  • Home layout
  • Ceiling heights
  • Insulation quality
  • Air leakage
  • Number of windows
  • Number of occupants

Different heat pumps also have different energy efficiency ratings. The most efficient models are ENERGY STAR certified. Investing in one can qualify you for a tax credit.

Ductless and Mini-Split Heat Pumps: Flexible Options for Every Home

At Apex Pros, we can provide ductless heat pump installation if your home does not have air ducts. A ductless system is also an easy-to-install solution for a room addition or house extension. Even if most of your home is served by ducts, this type of heat pump can be more affordable than modifying your existing ductwork.

Many residential heat pumps are installed as split systems. These have an outdoor condenser and an indoor air handler. A ductless mini-split heat pump takes things to a new level by connecting the outdoor unit to multiple indoor air handlers. Linked by a conduit containing wiring, refrigerant tubing, and suction and drainage lines, these cool individual rooms or zones with their own thermostats, allowing each occupant to choose their own temperature settings.

Benefits of Air-Source vs. Geothermal Heat Pumps

  • Air-Source Heat Pumps: In Central Ohio, air-source heat pump installation is more common, as it’s simpler and has a lower upfront cost. An air source system pulls heat even from air near or below freezing. This heat energy is used to warm up your home in the winter. During the summer, the heat pump does the opposite by pulling heat out of your home, making things cooler. 

An air source heat pump looks similar to a traditional air conditioner.

  • Geothermal Heat Pumps: A geothermal heat pump works the same way. The difference is that it moves heat to and from the ground. Just a few feet into soil or rock, the temperature is constant throughout the year (at about 55℉). Geothermal systems use a loop of pipes that can be arranged horizontally (just under the surface of your yard) or vertically, in which a deep hole is dug for the pipe. 

They’re more efficient in areas that are extremely cold, but more expensive to install.

Upfront Pricing, Financing, and Rebates for Heat Pump Installations

Honest pricing is one reason Apex Pros is Central Ohio’s leading HVAC company. We also offer unbeatable heat pump installation deals (check our coupons often for updates). 

While we offer access to financing, upon approved credit, that lets you pay for your investment over time, there are also rebates to consider. If you install an eligible heat pump, you may have access to state-funded rebates or a federal tax credit of up to $2,000.
