"This will be a difficult review to write. I never like to be so negative, however this situation warrants it. I called â In His Timeâ repair to deal with a dishwasher problem where the machine had difficulty starting a cycle. The owner, Terry Wilson, came out and immediately diagnosed the problem to be the electronic panel. He explained that LG dishwashers were notorious with these panels failing and needing replacement. This diagnosis was seemingly very easy for him to define, he explained that this was very common. He recommended that if I was comfortable with doing basic repairs that I could order the part myself and install it to save myself any additional expenses. I felt comfortable with his ease of explanation and knowledge of what he was saying. He also told me I should expect to replace this panel every few years because it will eventually fail again. I was obviously disappointed to hear this but given todayâ s state of appliance quality, I wasnâ t shocked. I paid him his service fee of $65 and then proceeded to order the $195 panel. Once I received it, I installed it without too much difficulty. Unfortunately, it had absolutely no effect on my problem. After repeated attempts to contact Terry Wilson, he called me back. When I told him what I encountered he immediately told me how I made the mistake of buying the part when he recommended that I should have purchased a new dishwasher. I tried to explain to him that we never discussed buying a new dishwasher but he wouldnâ t hear of it and emphatically told me that this was his recommendation. It was obvious that he wasnâ t interested in entertaining any other option and rather than get into an argument with him I politely ended the conversation and said good-bye. i subsequently did more research and discovered that a common solution to my problem showed it was probably related to the latch switch. I found I could get one of those for $50 and ordered it. It was easy to install and immediately fixed the problem. So, in the end, I was in over $250 by using â In His Timeâ to help me falsely diagnose the problem and then when I explained to him the situation Terry wasnâ t even remotely open to the idea that he might have misdiagnosed the situation."

Serving Western North Carolina's Heating, Cooling and Indoor Environmental Needs. Here at Comfort Central, we have a mission to provide you with the best possible experience. We want to earn your loyalty so you will never have to worry about your Heating, Cooling or Indoor Air Quality ever again.

"I highly recommend Comfort Central. Owner Kevin Schumann and his co-workers, Jay and Thomas, did an outstanding job installing the new HVAC system at our house. Over a four-day period, they set up in our crawl space a furnace/AC unit, a new plenum box, pipes for venting, and a dehumidifier with its own elaborate duct and water-removal system that will help keep our huge crawl space dry. They also put in a new heat pump in the backyard and a thermostat in the house. I was so impressed by the people and the work they did. Kevin and Jay are remarkably knowledgeable and experienced when it comes to HVAC issues. Thomas did a very good job with the aspects of the project that he handled. Every installation presents its own challenges, and one of the best things about Kevin and Jay is their ability to improvise as the project moves along. They considered different options when deciding on the size of the new system, where vents should go, how the duct system should be repaired and improved, the placement and venting of the dehumidifier, and many other things. They always kept the code requirements in mind. They were on time, friendly, communicative, and always considerate about how their work affected us while we were in the house. Kevin, Jay, and Thomas were also terrific when it came to answering my many questions. Kevin’s wife Laurie, who manages the office, responded quickly to my e-mails and helped with scheduling. HVAC projects can be expensive and complicated, and we wanted the right company to handle ours. We learned about Comfort Central from our home health specialist who had worked with Kevin in the past and had received very positive comments about his team from customers. I can recommend Kevin and the Comfort Central crew without reservation."

Wood Stove Inspection questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can use an existing chimney with a wood-burning stove if it meets specific requirements. The stove’s vent pipe size must be compatible with the size of your chimney flue. Your contractor can tell you whether your chimney is suitable for installation.

Sap, despite its stickiness, is primarily made of water and is responsible for wood being “green” when it’s first cut. Green wood doesn’t burn very easily and will snap and crackle a lot, not ideal for a fire pit or fireplace. That’s why it’s best to let fresh, sap-filled wood season or dry out for at least a season before you start burning.

You should use an angled brush to first paint the mortar lines, then go in with a high-density roller to evenly paint the bricks one at a time. You can also use a flat paintbrush to paint individual bricks, but a roller is faster and easier to use thanks to its longer handle and wider surface area for coating the bricks. To finish, go in with the paint brush for edges or hard-to-reach areas.

How long a fireplace lasts depends on the type of fireplace in question. Gas inserts may last 10 to 25 years when properly maintained while electric fireplaces typically top out at 20 years. A traditional brick fireplace can last centuries, though you’ll need to keep up with maintenance and repair over the years, including tuckpointing.

The time it takes for creosote to build up in a chimney can vary depending on how often you use your fireplace and the wood you burn. Creosote can start accumulating after just a few fires, especially if you burn unseasoned wood or allow fires to smolder. Regularly using the fireplace without proper maintenance can lead to significant creosote buildup within a few months. To prevent hazardous buildup, have your chimney inspected and cleaned at least once a year.
