Q: What does it mean to be a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer?

Carrier Corporation designates Factory Authorized status only to dealers who meet strict annual benchmarks for technical training, customer satisfaction, and service quality. As a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer, Air Plus technicians receive direct training on Carrier equipment and are held to a higher performance standard than the industry average. In 2025, Air Plus also received the Carrier President’s Award, which is given to fewer than 1% of Carrier dealers in the country.

Frequently Asked Questions About Heating Services in Cincinnati

How do I know if I need furnace repair or a full furnace replacement?

The two most reliable indicators are age and repair frequency. If your furnace is more than 15 years old and has required repairs in the past two years, replacement is typically more cost-effective than continued repair. Our technicians perform a full diagnostic assessment before recommending replacement and will always present repair as an option when it is viable. We do not recommend replacement unless the data supports it.

How often should I have my heating system serviced?

Air Plus recommends having your heating system serviced once per year, ideally in the fall before the heating season begins. Annual maintenance keeps your system running at peak efficiency, extends its operational life, and allows our technicians to catch small problems before they cause a system failure. Air Plus Perks members receive two performance tune-ups per year as part of their membership benefits.

What is the difference between a heat pump and a furnace?

A furnace generates heat by burning fuel, typically natural gas or oil, and distributes warm air through your ductwork. A heat pump does not generate heat. Instead, it moves heat energy from the outdoor air into your home during winter and reverses the process to cool your home in summer. Heat pumps are generally more energy-efficient in moderate climates, while furnaces perform better during extended periods of extreme cold. For Cincinnati’s climate, a hybrid heat system that pairs both is often the most efficient and cost-effective solution.

What does NATE certification mean, and why does it matter?

NATE stands for North American Technician Excellence and is the heating and cooling industry’s most widely recognized independent certification program. NATE-certified technicians have passed a rigorous knowledge examination covering refrigerant handling, system diagnostics, equipment installation, and safety procedures. Not all HVAC technicians hold NATE certification. Every Air Plus technician who works on your heating system is NATE-certified.

Does Air Plus offer financing for heating system replacements?

Yes. Air Plus offers flexible financing through Wells Fargo Bank, FTL Finance, and Microf. Options include deferred-interest plans for qualified applicants and a rent-to-own program through Microf that requires no credit check. Our Home Comfort Advisors will walk you through all available options during your free quote appointment so you can choose the payment structure that works best for your budget.

What is a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer, and why does it matter when choosing a heating contractor?

Carrier awards Factory Authorized status only to dealers who meet strict annual benchmarks for technical training, customer satisfaction scores, and service quality. As a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer, Air Plus technicians receive direct training on Carrier heating equipment and are held to a higher standard than dealers who simply sell Carrier products. This distinction also means Air Plus can honor the full Carrier factory warranty on any equipment we install, which provides an additional layer of protection on your investment.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We couldn’t be happier with the work Jon did for us. He hooked up our existing water lines and installed a new utility sink with the water line connection. He was friendly, professional, and paid great attention to detail. Everything turned out exactly as we hoped. If you need a plumber, we highly recommend Jon and the team at Air Plus Heating & Cooling!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They were able to be here quickly and determined the problem promptly. The service diagnostic is very reasonable. They gave me a couple of options on a 21 year old AC and gave me their honest opinion. I appreciate that they understand my situation and are willing to help me get back up and running as soon as possible. Great company and I highly recommend them.

Update: they installed a whole new system and very professional install by Dave,Tristian, and Tony. Mike was able to get me an affordable system and he did a great job with having it installed quickly as temps will be in the 80’s next week. I couldn’t be happier with my whole experience with Air Plus.
