Complete solutions for energy-efficient heating and cooling with expert installation.

Looking for year-round comfort with less energy use? An air handler paired with a heat pump is one of the most efficient HVAC setups available. At Schar Heating & Cooling, we design, install, and service these systems for homeowners across Rittman and the surrounding Ohio communities.

Why choose a heat pump system?

Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling in one unit, making them a smart, eco-friendly alternative to traditional furnaces and air conditioners. Benefits include:

Energy efficiency: Transfers heat instead of creating it, saving on utility bills.
Year-round comfort: Delivers warm air in winter and cool air in summer.
Cleaner operation: No on-site combustion, making them safe and environmentally friendly.
Flexibility: Works with ducted systems via an air handler or ductless mini-splits.
Incentives: Many utility programs and federal tax credits reward high-efficiency heat pump upgrades.

The role of the air handler

An air handler works hand-in-hand with your heat pump to circulate conditioned air throughout your home. It contains the blower, indoor coil, and air filtration, ensuring:

Consistent airflow in every room
Proper humidity management
Cleaner indoor air with filter or IAQ upgrades
Quiet, efficient operation with variable-speed motors
