This being the lead-off tip, lets the viewer see the potential here to share your information. So the 'Tip' is: Please, spend a couple minutes and your help may provide very useful and have a long term, far reaching effect on many! Please email your in to:

Small window A/C units need filter cleaning peridically, but the inside will also need some help from time to time. When they start spewing water, either on the outside or inside, it's time. Turn unit off. Take garden hose & tweezers - use them underneath to pull out obstructions, hose to flush things. Don't use to much pressure to damage fins! I do this for about 15 minutes. DRILLING MORE DRAIN HOLES: NOT THE WAY!

Spraying WD40 on showshovel makes snow leave shovel easily. Try it.

ALWAYS get at least 3 bids on a project - give each contractor the exact same info, if one is real low, disregard.

If your A/C condensor is anywhere near a swimming pool or the ocean, the chlorine or salt will eat away at those fins, causing shortened life and decreased performance. Ask your service tech about this.. There is a product 'Coil Gaurd' that sprays on right out of a can and doesn't affect the efficiency one bit.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE:
Changed A/C filter lately?
Check all plumbing for leaks..
Weather striping @ doors & windows
Exterior door hardware & hidden spare key?

Water in-line filters to ice maker & drinking water. Last time replaced?

Water Heater old & rusty around the bottom? You're about to experience a mess - change it before it goes & causes you more headaches.

Thinking about painting your house? Make sure it is necessary simply by rubbing your finger on it. If paint is on your finger, 'chaulking' then you are due. If not, save your money, or fix something else.
