If you try to contact me via phone, be aware that you need to wait 6 rings before being connected to the voicemail and my carrier does not permit me to change the number of rings.

Mentioned this before but it is worth repeating. Check the coils on the outside unit of your air conditioner. You should be able to easily see through the small aluminum fins. It is sometimes easier to check them at night with a flashlight. Keeping them clean helps your air conditioner work more efficiently and will save on electricity. Some dirt can be washed out with a garden hose but do not use a pressure washer. Ideally, pick up a can or two of Frost King ACF19 Foam Coil Cleaner, 1.18 Pound on Amazon for $6.08. Follow the directions on the can.

For those of you that get their water from the North Wales Water Authority. They are doing a water main flushing between March 30 to April 3rd. If you notice any brown water, do noy use the hot water until you flush out the cold water supply and I would suggest an outside spigot that does not have an aerator on it. If you use the hot water before cleaning the dirty water, you will add sediments to your hot water tank which could shorten the life of the tank, especially since many people that I ask do not realize that they should be draining some water periodically from their tank.

Wanted to post this info to hopefully speed up the response for repairs. My son, Kevin, has taken over the business. I am acting in a support role in case he runs into any difficulties but so far, he has been doing better than I was expecting. His cell number is 215-290-5374. If you need to schedule a service call, it is best to text him a picture of the model tag, the issue and your contact info with general availability.

For any of you that have a newer heater whose byproduct is steam, make sure to clear the snow from the exhaust outside. If the heater does not detect air movement, the heater will shut down.
