Precision Heat Pump Services
Horn provides all of the HVAC services you need to keep your home or business comfortable throughout the year. Those services include the installation, maintenance, and repair of air source heat pump systems. In addition to our HVAC expertise, you can count on excellent customer service and care.
How a Heat Pump Works
Heat pumps work by transferring heat energy to or from a medium. In the case of an air source heat pump, that medium is the ambient air. During the winter, liquid refrigerant absorbs heat and is then piped into the home where that heat is released. In the summer, this process is simply reversed.
Benefits of an Air Source Heat Pump
An air source heat pump is among the most efficient HVAC options available. Choosing a heat pump will reduce your carbon footprint and lower your monthly energy bill. A heat pump provides both heating and cooling in a single solution. It can be paired with an auxiliary heating system, and it also gives you the option of integrating your water heater. Heat pumps are affordable relative to other HVAC systems. They’re simple to install, have low maintenance requirements, and can last for many years.

Is It Time to Replace Your Heat Pump?
The 15-year mark is when you want to consider replacing an air source heat pump. This is particularly true if your unit frequently needs repairs, but even if not, this is the point at which heat pumps tend to get less efficient. Replacing your old system will lower your costs on a month-to-month basis. We also recommend calling us if you experience odd noises or smells or uneven heating or cooling.
Trust Horn for Heat Pump Replacement
When it’s time to replace your air source heat pump, trust Horn. Our company has been established and trusted in this region since 1981, and we have NATE-certified HVAC technicians with extensive experience sizing HVAC systems for homes and businesses and installing them with precision.
Reliable Heat Pump Repair
If your system is newer than 15 years old, then it may make better financial sense to repair it rather than invest in a new air source heat pump. We’ll perform a thorough inspection of your system and help you make that determination, and if you choose the repair option, you can count on us to restore your system to as close to new condition as possible.
Heat Pump Maintenance
Horn recommends seasonal maintenance for your air source heat pump, which means that you should schedule maintenance in spring prior to the cooling season and again in fall prior to the heating season. Our tune-up services ensure that your heat pump runs as efficiently as possible and thus saves you money, and we also offer maintenance plans that can help you save even more.
Emergency Repair Services
Our team appreciates that some heating and cooling failures can’t wait until the next day, which is why Horn has expert repair technicians on call. Even on weekends and during holidays, Horn will make you a priority and work hard to get your heat pump running again as soon as possible.
Other Heating and Cooling Technologies
Our services aren’t limited to heat pumps. Horn also installs, maintains, and repairs forced air furnaces, central air conditioning systems, hydronic boilers and ductless mini splits.
Ductless Mini Splits
Mini splits are HVAC systems that do not require ducts and instead force air directly into the living space. Some mini splits only provide cooling, but there are also systems that are similar to heat pumps in that they both heat and cool.
Forced Air Furnaces
Forced air furnaces remain the most prevalent way to heat homes and businesses in the U.S. Natural gas furnaces are often preferred since operating costs are low and the fuel is clean, but there are other options, including electric furnaces and furnaces that burn heating oil.
Hydronic Boilers
The two main types of hydronic boilers are stream boilers and hot water boilers. A boiler is an energy-efficient heating option that has the advantage of not blowing air and thus diminishing air quality. Boilers also give you floor heating and other radiant heating options.
Central Air Conditioning
Air conditioners are quite similar in design to heat pumps but are only able to provide cooling and are thus often paired with a furnace or boiler. Central AC systems are similar to furnaces and heat pumps in that they require ductwork through which the conditioned air is delivered.
