A/C Capacitor

One of the most common home HVAC system problems is a blown or faulty dual motor start capacitor.

Luckily, they are relatively easy to replace and a replacement capacitor only costs about $25-$50 depending on the model.

The most tell-tale symptom of a broken capacitor is when the fan in the outdoor condenser unit won't spin.

Toilet Water Valve

Drip, drip, drip. It seems like the toilet water supply valve is one of the first places to develop a water leak in the bathroom of an older home.

Standard replacement valves are readily available at Home Depot, Lowes or other home improvement stores and only cost a few dollars.

Refrigerator Water Leak

If you have water pooling at the bottom of your refrigerator, you may have a clogged freezer defrost drain pipe.

Only a few simple hand tools and some hot water are needed to resolve this problem in less than an hour.

Kenmore Stove 220V

I was perplexed when the digital display of our Kenmore electric oven and range top was working properly but the elements wouldn't heat up.

Usually the problem lies with a faulty power connection either at the outlet, the appliance's power plug, or the home's breaker box.

HVAC Coils Cleaning

To keep the indoor air handler unit of your home A/C system working at peak efficiency the coils or "fins" should be regularly cleaned.

This is especially important if there are dogs, cats or other furry pets in your home.

Water Heater Flushing

Another home appliance that needs periodic maintenance to operate efficiently and extend it's useful life is your water heater.

Over time, sediment such as sand or minerals accumulate in the bottom of the tank and can partially obstruct the lower heating element.

Hundreds if not thousands of home fires each year are caused by dryer exhaust vents or pipes that are clogged with lint.

Condensate Drain Pipe

To keep the condensation water drain pipe of your home air handler unit flowing freely, it's important to flush the pipe regularly.

Neglecting this can lead to a clogged pipe and water leaking into your home.

Rheem Coils Cleaning

To keep your A/C system's condenser unit running as efficiently as possible, the coils should be cleaned out at least once every year.

The coils can become clogged with dust, dirt, pet hair, leaves, and other debris which reduces their ability to effectively transfer heat to the outside air.

Some of the symptoms of a faulty run capacitor include a condenser fan motor that makes excessive noise or does not work at all.

The symptoms of a faulty dual run capacitor include that the compressor and fan motor inside your Goodman condenser won't turn on.
