Is your door scraping the door frame when you open and close the door? Grab a screwdriver and tighten the hinge screws. If the screws are turning and are not getting tighter, take out the screw, stuff up the hole with a few toothpicks, reinsert the screw, and tighten it again. Still not working? give us a call. Keep in mind, if your house is very humid, that might cause the door to slightly expand and not fit perfectly. Try running your air conditioning for a few hours with the windows closed and see if that helps the door stop scraping.

If your bathtub is draining slowly, clear the area, take out the drain cover, and remove the all the hair that is stuck inside. Then close the drain, fill up the tub approximately 10 gallons. Reopen the drain and vigorously plunge it using a plunger, allowing water to enter the drain between each plunge.  Please note: seeing debris shooting out of the emergency drain is perfectly normal and you can let it re-drain through  the regular drain. If the issue persists or if you're uncertain, give us a call.

To improve your air conditioning system's effectiveness, focus on two key components: filters and the condenser. Regularly clean or replace the filters to ensure unobstructed airflow. For the condenser, turn off the power, remove visible dirt and obstructions between the fins, and gently hose it down. This maintenance helps optimize cooling efficiency. Prioritize safety by turning off the power before cleaning the condenser.
