Schedule Now

Your home is your castle but suddenly it’s also your workspace, your school, and your staycation! With all this time spent at home, it’s a good idea to make sure your home’s indoor air quality is top-notch! Here are the best ways to breathe easy when it comes to knowing you’re keeping your family’s home air quality at its best.

1. Find out the state of your home’s air quality
It’s important to monitor common pollutants in your home and other major health and safety dangers such as carbon monoxide and radon. An air quality test will track down pollutants and determine what you need to eradicate them.

2. Replace filters
One of the easiest and least expensive ways to improve your home’s air quality is to make sure your HVAC filters are routinely changed. Filters protect against dust, smoke, pet dander, and even gaseous pollutants. Choose one with a high Minimum Efficiency Rating Value to make the biggest difference in your home.

3. Get a handle on your home’s humidity
Your humidity level is one of the leading culprits of poor indoor air quality. Too high, and mold and mildew can breed; too low and bacteria and viruses thrive. Having a ventilation system working properly, and upgrading your air filters are part of the Centers for Disease Controls recommendations to aid in protecting your family from the Coronavirus. Whole-house humidifiers and dehumidifiers can help level out the humidity levels in your home.

4. Take advantage of fresh outdoor air
Increasing natural ventilation in the home can also help improve your home’s air quality if the inside and outside air temperatures are similar. Make sure your Cincinnati air quality rating is at a good level before inviting in outside breezes.

5. Preventative maintenance is key
Your HVAC system is pumping air through your home’s air ducts daily. Make sure it is up to the task by engaging in a preventative maintenance schedule. Working properly, your system will work efficiently and effectively. Cleaning your air ducts also helps ensure healthy air quality levels by removing pollutants that might be captured and distributed through the ductwork.

6. Take advantage of the latest in technology
UV lights can sterilize moving air while extending the life of your HVAC unit by keeping your coils clean. Air scrubbers have been proven to reduce up to 99% of airborne and surface bacteria and viruses.

"Ernie & Mike did a superb job on my new furnace and A/C installation. Despite having more than a day’s work to do, they came in and stayed until the job was done. They were organized, efficient, and protected the rest of the house well. Got both furnace and A/C installed the same day. Ernie was courteous, informative, and clearly knew his job better than anyone I’ve encountered before. The units look so good guests now get The Tour of our new system. Apollo is clearly not a fly-by-night company. I would recommend them to anyone in need of a new furnace and/or A/C."

"I called Apollo because of a water leak I thought I had in our upstairs shower going into the kitchen. Robbie came and assured me everything was fine & looked at all the other plumbing. He ended up changing a few pipes for our washer & clearing a drain. He was very nice & knowledgeable with all my questions. I ended up signing up for the care plan & was very happy with my service."
- Cassandra B.
"The team at Apollo exceeded my expectations. As a business owner, my attention to the details and commitment to providing excellent service is high. From the sales rep. to the installation team, everyone’s performance was outstanding. For example, the installation team went to great lengths to protect our floors, placing floor runners and across the wood floors and up the stairs. They even were spot washing walls upon their departure. I highly recommend this company."

"We scheduled an estimate AND a tune-up. We knew something was wrong with our furnace, but hoped we could make it through the rest of the season. Upon telling Bill what our furnace was doing, he warned us immediately what the possible outcome was going to be; a cracked heat exchanger. He watched the flames roll backward, tested carbon monoxide levels, which were so high they meter’s last reading was 5,600 before saying “high”. He immediately shut it down, tagged it, and explained that with levels that high and children in our home he wanted off right away. He continued his inspection and showed us via a camera that not only was it cracked in multiple places, but had holes all over it. He gave us a few options for repairing it; his knowledge as well as genuine concern was beneficial and refreshing. Luckily we also scheduled an estimator, Micah, to come too and we were able to get costs between repairing and replacing (with several options). We decided to replace with a much higher efficiency furnace and one sized properly to our home. Hands down, not only did they both provide us great service and knowledge, but without sounding dramatic, they may have saved our lives. This was our first time calling Apollo, but it won’t be our last."

"Apollo is an excellent company. I always receive great service. Alex A. was professional and friendly. He kept me informed during the process of checking my furnace and heat pump to make sure they were working properly. The company makes sure you are notified who is coming and when they are on the way. All my interactions with the company have been wonderful."
