"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

Mold Testing and Remediation FAQs, answered by experts
Poor maintenance can cause some health concerns, although these are more common in commercial misters than residential versions. For example, stagnant water can become a breeding ground for bacteria, some of which can be dangerous to human health, especially when inhaled. Regular flushing of the system before seasonal use should prevent issues like these.
Otherwise, avoid using mosquito misters with pesticides or plant misters with fertilizers near humans. These misters are not designed for cooling sprays around decks or patios, but for more utilitarian purposes.
Inhaling black mold spores, even from behind walls, can cause people to have a wide variety of potential health issues. Some people may only notice a few breathing problems, while others can become quite sick with symptoms related to severe allergies. Constant exposure to mold spores can lead to lung infections and other long-term health problems. If you believe you have black mold inside your walls, you will want to reach out to a pro for an inspection and for advice on how to take care of the problem before it causes severe illness.
The cost for mold remediation typically ranges from $1,125 to $3,350, with a national average of around $2,400. The final price depends on various factors, including the location and square footage of the affected area, the type of mold, and local labor costs.
Additional factors that influence the total cost include:
Extent of Damage: The overall price can increase significantly if extensive repairs are needed after mold removal, such as replacing large sections of drywall. Removing mold from a small area of drywall might cost between $300 and $825, but full wall replacement is more expensive.
Health Risks: The cost is also justified by the health risks associated with toxic mold, which can cause respiratory distress, act as carcinogens, or even damage the nervous system.
Comprehensive Service: Remediation involves not only removing the mold but also addressing the moisture issues that caused it to prevent future growth.
Testing and Air Quality: The need for safety testing and measures to improve indoor air quality can also add to the cost.
For an accurate estimate, it is best to consult a mold removal specialist who can assess the specifics of your situation.
Pellet stoves burn compressed wood byproducts, making them very efficient and clean-burning. However, even efficient combustion still produces fine dust particles, which could have an effect on the health of vulnerable people in your household, such as infants and people with asthma. A wood stove pro can help determine whether the levels in your home are unsafe.
Slime mold isn’t toxic to your dog, even if they eat it. Toxicity and comfort are two different things, and if you notice your dog eating slime mold, you should stop them, but not worry too much. Expect a period of gastrointestinal distress, and possibly some other complications, but your dog should be ok within a few days.
