Ten Ways to Save Money Under Your Roof in the New Year

Schedule Now

Chances are you’ve spent more time than usual in your home this year and it’s got you taking a hard look at where you can cut costs. Here are ten ways you can save money in your home in the new year!

1. Heat Where You Meet

Concentrate your heating efforts in the parts of your home you use. Close registers in unused rooms and closet doors so you aren’t needlessly heating square footage in your home where no one sets foot in.

2. Swap Out for LED

In addition to being more difficult to find in home improvement stores, old-fashioned incandescent bulbs are costing you more money in wasted electricity. Switch to LED options that will save you more in the long run.

3. Maintain and Service HVAC Units

There is truth in the saying an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Hire a professional to service your HVAC units to make sure they are running efficiently and check for issues before they become bigger and more costly problems.

4. Consider Smart Home Integration

Integrated smart home automation can save hundreds each year in utility bills that help to regulate indoor temperature and turn off lights. Other smart devices like Nest doorbells and cameras can earn you discounts on monthly insurance premiums.

5. Change Air Filters

Dirty HVAC filters, dryer screens and even your dishwasher filter can prevent your systems from working efficiently causing it to use more energy to get the job done.

6. Install a Level 2 Charger for Your Electric Vehicle

You’re saving money on gas but you could be saving time on charging too. Hire a professional to install an EV charging station in your garage with a dedicated 220-volt single-phase grounded separate circuit so your electric vehicle will charge twice as fast and the outlet is separate from the rest of your household electric circuitry.

7. Repair Leaks

Tiny drips are more than a drop in the bucket when it comes to your finances. One gallon of water is equal to about 15,140 faucet drips. Paying for those wasted gallons is throwing money down the drain. Call a professional to evaluate where your toilets, faucets and other leaky appliances are costing you money.

8. Keep It Insulated

Insulating your home keeps the heat in and your energy bills from going out the window. This is true for your pipes too. Insulating the hot water pipes can reduce heat loss and allow you to lower your temperature setting saving you money. Make sure you insulate your pipes located in areas such as your garage, crawl space, attic, and any other areas that aren’t heated to avoid potential frozen pipe disasters.

9. Be Energy Efficient

Swapping out your appliances with energy efficient ones will lower your energy consumption and your utility bills. Not only do energy efficient appliances need less maintenance and repairs, they can also boost your home’s resale value.

10. Check Your Plans

"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."
- Jerry A.
"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."
- Sarah B.
"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."
