Most people don’t think about their furnace filter until something feels off. The air gets dusty; the heat takes longer to kick in, or the system just sounds tired. It’s small, but that filter does more work than you’d think.

If you’ve ever stood in a store aisle guessing at filter sizes, you know it’s a hassle. Apollo Home built the Filter Shop to take care of that. You order the right filter online, it ships straight to your door, and you don’t have to worry about buying the wrong one again. It’s one less thing on your to-do list and an easy way to take better care of your home.

Why HVAC Filters Matter

Your HVAC system breathes through that filter. When it’s clean, the air moves freely, and your system doesn’t have to strain. When it’s dirty, everything works harder; fans, motors, heating elements. You’ll notice it on your energy bill.

A clogged or wrong-sized filter can cause:

• Poor airflow through the vents
• Higher energy use and noise
• Extra dust floating around the house
• Uneven heating or cooling
• Early wear on key components

Clean filters keep your home more comfortable and protect the equipment you’ve already invested in. They also help with allergies and keep the air fresher during Ohio’s pollen seasons, when windows stay shut for weeks at a time.

Why Use Apollo Home’s Filter Shop

Buying filters should be easy. With Apollo Home’s Filter Shop, it finally is. The team behind it services HVAC systems every day across Cincinnati, Dayton, and Northern Kentucky, so they know exactly what homeowners need.

Here’s what makes it worth using:

• No guessing. You pick the filter that fits your system, and it’s right every time.
• Order from home. No store trip or parking lot checkout lines.
• Delivered fast. Filters come to your door, ready to install.
• Backed by pros. The same experts who maintain local HVAC systems stand behind every product.
• Fits your care plan. Works hand-in-hand with Apollo Home’s maintenance visits.

Truth is, it’s the simplest way to stay on top of maintenance without adding another chore to your list. If you’re part of Apollo Home’s Care Plan, you can even sync deliveries with your seasonal tune-ups, so your technician swaps filters at the right time every year.

How to Pick the Right Filter

You don’t have to be an expert to buy the right one. Just check the size printed on your old filter or look it up in your system manual.
A few tips help narrow it down:

• Most homes do best with a MERV rating between 8 and 12.
• Higher numbers catch smaller particles but can limit airflow if your system isn’t built for it.
• Homes with pets or allergy issues should change filters every 30 to 60 days.
• If the filter looks gray or dusty, swap it, no need to wait for the calendar.

If you’re not sure, Apollo Home’s team can tell you which model fits before you order. The right filter keeps your air cleaner, your HVAC happier, and your utility costs steady through Cincinnati’s long winters and humid summers.

When a New Filter Isn’t Enough

Sometimes replacing the filter won’t fix the problem. Maybe your system still runs constantly or can’t keep the temperature steady. That’s a sign something deeper needs attention.

You might need a tune-up if you notice:

• Weak airflow after changing the filter
• Rising utility bills without extra use
• Uneven room temperatures
• Persistent dust even with a clean filter

That’s where Apollo Home’s heating and cooling pros come in. They can inspect the system, clear the coils, and make sure everything’s working the way it should. Many homeowners in Southwest Ohio also join the Apollo Care Plan for scheduled maintenance and priority service.

How to Order from the Filter Shop

Ordering takes less time than checking the mail.

1. Go to Apollo Home’s Filter Shop online.
2. Choose your system size and filter type.
3. Add it to your cart and check out.
4. Wait for fast delivery; filters arrive ready to install.

You can even set reminders to reorder when it’s time for the next change. Some families bundle filters for the whole year and keep them in a closet, so they always have one ready when the old one gets dirty. It’s a small routine that saves a lot of stress later.
