Heat Pump Installation & Replacement
Akron’s housing stock tells a lot before we even pull up to your driveway. The median home in this city was built in 1952, and more than three-quarters of Summit County’s housing units went up before 1970 – so a new heat pump system here often goes into a house with older equipment, aging ductwork, or no ductwork at all. Getting the installation right starts before we order a single part.
Every Apollo installation begins with a free in-home estimate. Our comfort advisors assess your home’s size and layout, inspect your existing ductwork, and give you upfront pricing before any work begins. No work starts until you say so. Trusted for heat pump installation, replacement, and heating services across Akron and Summit County, Apollo has earned 4.8 stars across 5,400+ Google reviews from homeowners who count on us to get it right.
The estimate isn’t a formality – it’s where your installation actually starts. Before we recommend any system, a comfort advisor visits your home and works through:
There’s no pressure and no obligation. You’ll have everything you need to make a decision before we quote a number – and that quote is the price you pay.
For most Summit County homeowners, this is the first real question a new heat pump raises.
Pre-war neighborhoods like Highland Square and Kenmore were built without ductwork – many of those homes ran on boilers and radiators for decades. A traditional ducted heat pump system isn’t the right fit there. A ductless mini split often is, and Apollo installs both.
Mid-century neighborhoods like Firestone Park and West Akron typically have ductwork already in place from a gas furnace. We inspect those systems for compatibility during the estimate, and if modifications are needed, the cost is part of your upfront quote – no surprises.
Newer builds in communities like Tallmadge and Hudson are usually the most straightforward, as modern construction makes proper sizing and installation more predictable.
Step 1: Evaluation and permits. Your comfort advisor confirms proper sizing, ductwork decisions, and system selection. Apollo coordinates the permit process with the local building department for every installation.
Step 2: Safe removal and preparation. We remove your old system carefully and dispose of it properly. We protect the work area throughout, and your home stays as clean as we found it.
Step 3: Installation, testing, and walkthrough. We install your new heat pump’s indoor and outdoor units to manufacturer specifications and local code. We test the full system in both heating and cooling modes – airflow, electrical connections, and thermostat communication – before walking you through how everything works.
Most installations are finished in a single day. Homes that need ductwork modifications may take longer, and your comfort advisor will give you a clear timeline at the estimate.
Repairs make sense – until they don’t. A few signs that replacement may be the smarter call:
Apollo’s comfort advisors give you honest numbers on both sides so you can decide without pressure. If a heat pump repair is still the better option, we’ll tell you.
A heat pump installation is a big job. We try to make it feel like a small one.
An installation is a real investment. Apollo backs it with two programs that go beyond standard manufacturer coverage.
The Not a Dime Warranty covers manufacturer-warranted parts and the labor to repair or replace them on qualifying systems Apollo installs, heat pumps included. Ask your comfort advisor for the terms on your specific system.
The Value Choice Membership adds an annual tune-up, priority scheduling, and member discounts on repairs – plus plumbing benefits. It’s the most straightforward way to protect the heat pump system you just put in.
Heat pump installation costs depend on your home’s size and layout, the system selected, and whether any ductwork modifications are needed. At Apollo, they never depend on last-minute surprises.
All of that is worked out during the free in-home estimate, and you get the full price before anything is scheduled. If financing helps make it work, options are available through our lending partners – your comfort advisor will walk you through what fits your situation.
A new heat pump is one of the bigger decisions a Summit County homeowner makes. We don’t take that lightly – which is why every job starts with an honest conversation, a clear price, and work that only begins when you’re ready. Here’s what you can expect when you choose Apollo:

Proper sizing depends on your home’s square footage, layout, insulation, and existing ductwork – all assessed during the free in-home estimate. An undersized or oversized system leads to uneven comfort and added wear.
Heat pumps typically last 10 to 15 years, possibly longer with consistent annual maintenance.

SEER2 measures cooling efficiency and HSPF2 measures heating efficiency – higher numbers in both mean lower energy costs over time. Because a heat pump handles both heating and cooling in Akron’s climate, both ratings matter, and your comfort advisor will explain what they mean for your specific home.
