Heat flows from warmer spaces to colder spaces. Insulation in your home provides resistance to heat flow and the more heat flow resistance, the lower your heating and cooling costs.

Carbon monoxide detectors can sense CO levels as low as 5 ppm (parts per million). Protect your family today. Infants, children, and elderly individuals with respiratory or heart ailments are provided little or no protection from deadly CO. Newer technology has increased the alert systems to amazingly low levels, and the older model standard alarms of yesterday do not protect your family from CO poisoning.

Symptoms of low-level carbon monoxide poisoning include headache, nausea, dizziness and lethargy, but get more dangerous as the CO levels builds up in the person’s body. Many of these symptoms can be mistaken as a common cold by any health professional. Protect yourself and your family and don’t get misdiagnosed.  

Local home improvement stores carry CO detectors; however, they normally don’t go off until the home reaches unsafe levels of 70 ppm or higher. At that high level, it may be too late. Additionally, many of the plug-in detectors do not always allow for proper placement and may not work during power outages, so consider purchasing a battery operated detector from Apollo today by calling (513) 271-3600!

A frequent question that arises from our customers is “How many detectors should I have in my home?” The answer is simple; you should have one monitor installed on every level of your home. Single story or ranch homes should have one detector on each end of the home. According to the National Fire Prevention Association, you should have a carbon monoxide detector centrally located outside of each separate sleeping area and on every level of your house (including the basement). Some states have statutes that require CO detectors in residential establishments, check to see if your state has any such requirements.

Wisely managing your programmable thermostat settings can save you a significant amount on your utility bills. If you keep the temperature at the same setting all day, it will not only cost you more to heat and cool your home, it will also waste energy.

Consider replacing your old thermostat with a new, programmable one.  They automatically adjust the temperature lower or higher at times of the day when you are not home or everyone is sleeping.

In May, 2011 (before we were blogging), we watched the episode of Dateline’s: the Hansen Files regarding how homeowners were wasting their money on home repairs.

In reflecting on Dateline episode The Hansen Files regarding how easily homeowners can waste their money on unnecessary home repairs; I was appalled with the dishonest nature of some of the service providers. Are there really people out there who weren’t brought up with morals? Our company has been in the heating, cooling and plumbing business for over 100 years and I feel confident to say that our employees proceed with the customer’s best interest at heart! If that was not the case, then how would we offer total satisfaction guarantee, and have satisfied over 200,000 customers?

Recently, I was involved in a meeting of several successful business owners. After partaking in our normal idle chatter, our discussion quickly turned to driving results. There were three individuals who spawned my interest. While listening to them, it was clear that the constant theme was “how to drive growth through external marketing and sales campaigns.”
