Maintenance & Repairs - July 2006

When my washing machine empties after each cycle, it overflows the drain in the wall. I ran a plumbers snake through the pipe and found no blockage. If I shut the machine down a few times as it drains out I can keep the pipe from overflowing. Could the washer be pumping the water out too quickly? The machine is at least 16 years old.

I have a gutter that looks like it's falling down and I am thinking about calling one of those handyman services in the phone book, but I was wondering if anyone knew how much they can cost. If it costs too much then I don't want to waste my time calling them and having some guy come to my house.

My garage door is like 11 years old almost. It just dawn on me that I use to just press the remote or the button inside the garage once and the door would either open or close automatically. With one push it will open but now I have to hold the button until it closes otherwise it just dances up and down. What is up with that?

A number of duplex outlets on one side of the house were not allowing lamps to come on and the night light was extremely dim. I measured the voltage at between 26-28 volts AC. I'm not sure what could cause this

Due to the recent heat wave, we've decided to install a swamp cooler (probably in our attic). Our house is almost 100 years old. We wanted to get a feel for the cost of a swamp cooler, before calling any contractors.

Just moved to South Carolina and it's been very hot and humid. Our house is newly built and we have 2 zone cooling/heating. The A/C units are cooling fine but I want to know how often do we change out the filters and/or clean them.

We only get this smell in the summer when the air conditioner is running. I am suspecting something is wrong with the drain pain in the furnace. We have corrected a poorly installed drain line but the smell continues.

Yesterday I had a AC man come out and check my AC.. HE said my Drip line was clogged and so he blew it out and made a huge mess in my bathroom because the trash in the line came out my bathroom sink and all over the entire bathroom. He also said I had 3 LBS. too much Freeon So he allowed that much to excape. Today I am burning up It is soo hot in here still!!! I called them and they can not come back out until tomorrow evening. Both outside unit and inside unit are running but the air is not cooling the house. The maker is Trane. The filter is clean the line was blown out... What else could this be?
