Upgrading Your Bathroom? Check out These New Fixture Options!

Bathroom upgrades are one of the top recommended upgrades that you can do for your home, partly because they pay off when you sell the house, and partly because a fully updated bathroom is so enjoyable. One of the things to think about if you’re planning on updating your bathroom is the style of fixtures you want in your bathtub and shower. Here are several examples of the different types of fixtures you have to choose from.

  • Temperature-controlled tub and shower valves: Both thermostatic mixing valves and pressure-balanced valves prevent your water from going suddenly hot or cold from someone flushing a toilet or running the dishwasher. These tub and shower valves maintain a constant temperature, making your shower or bath more comfortable.
  • Low flow shower head: If you buy a modern shower head, chances are it will be low flow. These high efficiency fixtures conserve water and energy by limiting flow, saving you money on both your water bill and your energy bill. There are two different kinds of low flow shower heads: aerating, which injects air in with the water to form a water-saving spray, and laminar-flow, which funnels the water into individual streams. Because of the resulting mist, aerated shower heads do create more steam, making laminar-flow shower heads more appropriate for humid climates.
  • Rainfall shower head: Called either a rain shower head or a rainfall shower head, this style of shower head is modern and luxurious. This type of shower head is usually disk-shaped to provide more water coverage and mimic rainfall instead of the traditional shower experience.
  • Waterfall tub spout: The waterfall tub spout is becoming popular in new and newly renovated homes. Water pours freely out of a waterfall tub spout for a more relaxing sound, as well as an ultra modern look.

If you’re remodeling your bathroom, you will be amazed at the wide selection of fixtures available these days. To find out more about updating your bathrooms with modern tub and shower valves, as well as other great-looking touches, contact Apollo Home Heating, Cooling and Plumbing.

"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."
