"Started on 6/23/24 with the technician telling us we need a new unit, Told us that it was last years model so he was giving us a "deal" on it. He took a check that day for 1/2 of the cost of the unit. June 26th the unit was installed- after having to leave several times to buy a new torch set , and some other complications. June 29th we contacted the technician again about the unit not cooling appropriately, and that it was 80 & 78 on our Thermostats. June 30th - technician came back out and told us he needed a part. July 1st - part was delivered and technician came out to install. July 2nd we contacted the technician again letting him know it is not cooling. July 3rd - technician came out and looked at the system again, told us to give it until sat July 5th to see if it cools and then let him know July 5th we reached out to the technician to let him know the unit isnt cooling, technician communicated that they would be out Monday July 7th. July 7th - Technician came back out to look at the unit and it did start cooling July 8th - we contacted the technician to explain that there was ice on the pipe by our furnace, and that it was warming up in the house July 10th - technician comes out - does some type of adjustment with the thermostats July 20th - contacted the technician to let them know the AC unit outside was not turning on. July 21st Technician comes out and says a wire was loose on the unit outside thats why it wasnt working July 22nd we reach out to the technician and tell him there is ice building up on the unit outside July 23rd - Technician was going to come out, but we decided to get someone else to come look at the unit. - we let the technician know this.

They are sending some on July 24th to come give us an idea of what needs done to fix this unit, or (hopefully not) to replace it AGAIN."

Wood Stove Inspection questions, answered by experts

In addition to flashing, a roof cricket can help divert water around your chimney so that it drains properly off your roof. It’s shaped like a double triangle and is installed behind the chimney so that falling water spills evenly down each side. This helps prevent water from accumulating behind your chimney, which can increase water damage and the risk of leaks. 

The International Building Code (IBC) requires cricket installation if a chimney built after 2012 measures over 30 inches in width. Chimneys constructed before that date are typically grandfathered in and aren’t required to have crickets installed.

Although no heating appliance can be entirely risk-free, a fireplace insert is considered a safer alternative to a traditional open fireplace, thanks to their enclosed design. With a sealed combustion chamber, a fireplace insert effectively reduces the risk of sparks and embers escaping into the room, minimizing the chance of an accidental fire.

Additionally, an insert comes equipped with various safety features, such as tempered glass doors that create a barrier between the flames and the surrounding space. This enhances both safety and energy efficiency by preventing heat loss. As an added bonus, many inserts are designed to meet strict safety standards that ensure proper ventilation and combustion.

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.

Single-pane windows might let in the cold, but if you’re not ready for a long-term solution or window replacement, there are quick fixes to keep your space warmer. Start by sealing gaps with weatherstripping or caulking around the frame to block drafts. For an extra barrier, apply window insulation film to the glass, trapping an air pocket between the film and the window. Thick curtains or thermal drapes can also help keep the chill at bay. And if you’re in a pinch and looking to get creative, bubble wrap can provide a surprisingly effective layer of insulation—just spritz the window with water and press it on, bubble side in.

No, there are no ventless pellet stoves. Because pellet stoves burn wood pellets, they produce wood smoke—which contains carbon monoxide. This harmful substance needs to be vented out of your living area. That said, there are vent-free and ventless fireplaces that run on natural gas and propane. These offer the heating and ambiance of a fireplace without the need to vent thick and hazardous wood smoke.
