Read All About It: Air conditioning, Roofs and More!
Everything you ever wanted to know about air conditioning and
roofs is just one click away--new technical
information has been added to the House Facts section of the U.S.
Inspect Web site.
With spring upon us and summer just around
the corner, it may be a good idea to give your air conditioning unit the
once-over. Is your exterior compressor/condenser unit covered or
boxed-in by shrubs or hedges? If so, you should set the unit free from
obstructions so that free flow of air can properly circulate and efficiently
and effectively cool your home. Learn more about how air
conditioning systems operate.

We all know that April showers bring May
flowers, but they may also bring unwanted leaks in the home. Do you
know what to look for to determine the overall condition of your roof?
Do you have any idea what the roof's estimated
life expectancy is? Look no further. Dig into detailed
information about roofs.
