This is the most comprehensive forum I found for Apollo Hydroheat which leads me to question Apollo Hydroheat: is it that most people never have problems or are these systems just very rare? Anyway, I'm looking to purchase a forclosed home in Northern IL with Apollo Hydroheat. We could not inspect the furnace since the Apollo water heater failed to start: light ignites but fails to stay on. Judging from the shape of the control panel it is a power direct vented gas model. I believe the error code means 'there are flammable gasses in the area'. The water heater is from 2009 so I'm hoping that's an easy fix. The furnace, which is in the ceiling, on the other hand, is probably originally installed when the town home was built in 1994. My main question is: how much does it cost to replace this type of hydro air furnace (installed)? Since I don't know if it works, I'm just going to budget for worst case scenario and assume it's broken. I guess Apollo is no longer in business, are there any good substitutes that will go in the ceiling? Btw, the town home does not have traditional duct work, duct is formed by framing and drywall. It is 980 sq ft, and has a separate regular ac (mfg date 2007). I'm at my wits end.
