Thinking About Upgrading to a Zoning System? What It Does and How It Helps

Schedule Now

Homeowners are always trying to find ways to balance energy usage with their family’s comfort level. Upgrading to a zoning system might be the perfect answer to maintaining this balance in your greater Cincinnati home. Let’s take a look at how this system works and what it has to offer.

The genius of a zoning system

Unlike a traditional environment where you must heat or cool your entire home at once, a zoning system allows you to concentrate your efforts on only those areas that require a change in comfort level. This is accomplished by splitting your home into a series of “zones.” These individual areas are maintained from a central unit, providing you more control than what homeowners are typically accustomed to.

Improving a person’s comfort level

When it comes to comfort level, each person in your household may be unique. Perhaps you prefer a room to be a bit on the cold side, while someone else likes it warmer. Or maybe your bedroom or living room is exposed to the sun or located on a different floor, which can cause disparate heating and cooling needs. Traditional setups only account for one choice of temperature, but upgrading to a zoning system can allow each area to be just as comfortable as the next, no matter what an individual’s preference may be.

Lowering your energy costs

As previously described, a traditional heating and cooling setup forces us to change the temperature of the entire home, even if you only need to heat or cool one room. By upgrading to a zoning system, you will be able to use its control unit and assigned zones to only heat or cool the areas that are in use. Therefore, you’ll expend less energy in order to achieve the same result, and that change will be reflected in your pocketbook.

"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."
