Q - I am in the process of getting a new heating and air conditioning unit installed in my 3-story home. I just had an estimate and the company recommended a single 5-ton unit. Does that sound like enough tonnage to you? Rick - LawrencevilleA - For my money, no single unit sounds like enough muscle for a 3-story house.

Q - Last week when I came home from work my house smelled like a sour locker room. It didn’t smell like that when I left in the morning and I didn’t have any piles of laundry lying about. Yuck. Help. Anne in MarriettaA - Ahhhhh, welcome to summer. OK, maybe not summer, but warmer weather in any case.

It is a little early in the season for stories on what I like to call wildcat roofers, but with the severe storms we had last weekend it’s time to be reminded…Here are some things you should know before getting a new roof – especially if you have damage to your roof, or if you have been ‘diagnosed’ with hail damage by a door to door roofer. 1 - Just because a company found your ‘problem’ doesn’t give them any kind of squatters rights to fix your roof.
