Upgrade Home Insulation, Gain These 3 Benefits

Schedule Now

With colder temperatures on the horizon, there’s no time like the present to consider weatherizing your home to boost energy savings. One easy way to help your home stay warm: upgrade home insulation.

Here are three important reasons why homeowners in the greater Cincinnati area should consider the upgrade:

  1. Improved home comfort: Insulation has benefits in every part of your home. Insulating the ceiling keeps the sun’s heat outside in the summer months. In winter, this same insulation helps to keep heat inside, as it naturally rises after being heated by your furnace. Under-floor insulation keeps those floors warmer throughout the winter and, along with ceiling and wall insulation, helps avoid drafts in your home. All this adds up to much greater home comfort and…
  2. Lower energy bills: A well-insulated home needs to rely less upon its heating and cooling system to maintain the comfort of the occupants. Since energy costs seem to be headed nowhere but up, adding insulation to make your house more energy efficient is an excellent long-term investment. Over time, your monthly savings add up and your cost-effective insulation job will pay for itself. After that, it’s all profit for your family as you continue to save for years to come.
  3.  Better sound control: Insulation materials help to lower the noise level in your home by dulling sound coming in from outdoors. It also serves to partially block sound waves from traveling from room to room. If you don’t like the same music as your kids, this can be a great benefit! With little or no insulation, it would be so noisy (and of course usually too hot or too cold for comfort) that you’d feel like you were living outdoors. Insulation rescues you by deflecting sound (due to the insulation’s density) and also absorbing some of it within the air pockets formed within the insulation material before it can get to you.

Besides these basic benefits, your more airtight home will have better indoor air quality and a decreased impact on the environment.

"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."

"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."
