What Is an Air Source Heat Pump?
An air source heat pump is a high-efficiency HVAC system that transfers heat between your home and the outside air using electricity—not fuel combustion. This allows it to work as both a heating and cooling unit year-round, using a single outdoor compressor paired with either ducted or ductless indoor units. These systems use inverter-driven technology to regulate temperature precisely, reducing energy use and improving comfort. Thanks to evolving technology, they now perform well even in colder climates like Central Ohio.

- Works in both heating and cooling modes — one system for year-round comfort
- Includes an outdoor compressor and either a ducted or ductless indoor unit

Frequently Asked Questions
How does an air source heat pump work in winter?
It extracts heat from the outside air—even in cold temperatures—and transfers it indoors. Modern units work efficiently down to 0°F and below.
Can I keep my current furnace and just add a heat pump?
Yes. A dual-fuel setup allows your heat pump to handle most of the load, with your furnace as backup for extreme cold.
What’s the difference between ducted and ductless systems?
Ducted systems use existing air vents, while ductless use wall-mounted units—ideal for room additions or homes without ducts.
Will it work with my existing thermostat?
In most cases, yes—especially if it’s a programmable or smart thermostat. Yoder ensures full compatibility during installation.
Are air source systems eligible for tax credits?
Yes. Many ENERGY STAR-rated systems qualify for federal tax credits and utility rebates. We’ll help with the paperwork.
