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.

U.S. Inspect's House Facts papers incorporate digital pictures and graphics to complement the technical information presented.  Keep an eye out for future issues of the Advisory Report, which will highlight new information that has been added to U.S. Inspect's online technical library.
