I looked around on the site and saw some other posts about garden tubs and showers, but none of them really fit what I was looking for. So, here is what I want to do and just throwing around some ideas in my head on how it could be done...possibly. ;) Our garden tub is in the corner in between our s...

Just replaced our whole system (condenser, furnace and evap coil) on Jan. 26, but it doesn't qualify for the tax credit. Figures.

I hope it is Ok to attach my question on here. We were recently visiting my family in another state and had a talk with my dad. He doesn't have a mobile home, but he was telling me that when he had his house built that they used styrofoam instead of traditional insulation. With the last major storm ...

OK, I had my brother over this weekend. He used to work in the AC business several years ago. I had him look at our system, inside and outside, and he told me replacing the A coils would be like putting a band aid on the problem. So, we are going to replace the whole split system. I could go with Ai...

Hope you don't mind if I add in my 2 cents here. We had planned on putting a new metal roof on last summer. We had already scheduled a mobile home roofing company to come out and put the roof on. There was a little bit of a wait (they had to come in from Oklahoma or Arkansas) so in the mean time we ...

OK, hubby and I are thinking that we may just go ahead and change out the A coil now. We are already hovering in the high 90's and have also already hit the 100 degree mark and it isn't quite June yet. I am dreading the rest of this summer. I am looking on the parts link that Mark posted, but I can'...

Thank you so much! What great advice! I will pass this on to my neighbors who have absolutely no trees and have huge windows that face the sun every afternoon. Thanks again!

That is a great idea!! Do you think the weather would "uncling" it from the outside of the window? I have single glass, so I am assuming that by the outside of the window you are meaning the side outside the home. Did that just make sense?? Either way, I am going to try it on one of the wi...

Love the static cling window tint. We are having cooling problems with the AC and the tint has helped out tremendously, especially in the kids rooms, they get the worst of the afternoon Texas sun. I just wish the static cling came in Black Out like regular window tint, but I want the option of easy ...

Thanks! Looks like we will use our backup window units for this summer and then replace the whole system next January. Thanks Guys!

Sorry...the unit is 15 years old this month.

Which is easier to do...replace the whole furnace or just the A coils? Or are they both about the same amount of work? Would it be worth while to change just the A coils, since the furnace is still in good working conditions?

Hi everyone! We are having the same issue with our AC that we have had for the last few years, but we have already hit 100 degrees this year and it is only May! Looks like this is going to be one of our blistering hot summers and I would really like to FINALLY fix the problem we have been having. Ou...

I just received Mark's book and I was reading through the section about cleaning the A coils. It says in the book that you can order the cleaner from this site, but I can't find where to order it. I have been searching for this type of cleaner and haven't been able to find it here locally. We can ge...

We have ordered Mark's book, hopefully it will be here next week. I have one question. We have been looking at our local stores for the metal roofing. I am not seeing any type of metal roofing that looks like the stuff in the photo gallery. Can anyone tell me what we are suppose to be looking for? I...

We still haven't heard from the Perma Roof people. I think we are going to go with doing the roof ourselves. If I purchase the whole mobile home repair book, that has the information for the metal roof, correct? Or do I need to purchase just the metal roof booklet? I would like the whole book, but f...
