Appolo Heating and Cooling - Make Yourself Comfortable

As much as half of the energy used in your home goes to heating and cooling. So making smart decisions about your home’s heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system can have a big effect on your utility bills – and your comfort.

At Appolo Heating and Cooling, we recommend that you check your air filter every month, especially during the winter and summer months where usage is high. If the filter looks dirty, change it. At a minimum, change you filters every 3 months. A dirty filter will slow air flow and make your system work harder to keep you comfortable. A clean filter will also help you maintain your indoor air quality.

We also recommend that you have an annual tune-up on your heating and cooling system. This will maintain or improve the efficiency of your system and ensure comfort all year round.

Lastly, if your heating and cooling system is more than 10 years old or not keeping your house comfortable, you should consider replacing the unit with a newer unit that has earned the ENERGY STAR rating. These high-efficiency units can save up to 20 percent on your heating and cooling costs.
