We just finished our basement and were told that it makes sense to get the air ducts and furnace cleaned afterwards. Should we get the returns cleaned too? It will add quite a bit to the cost

I just left my home in Michigan for an extended winter vacation (6 months). I left the thermostat on 52 degrees, shut off the water supply in the basement, and drained the faucets. I have a gas water heater. It's 20+ years old (original). I turned it down to the lowest temperature setting ("warm"). Should I have turned OFF the water heater? I'm not even sure there's an on/off switch. Could something bad happen if I don't? Should I find a friend to go in and turn off the water heater? If so, how to do it? At the circuit breaker box in the basement? What about the water heater's pilot light? And what if the water heater can't be drained? Also, should I have unplugged the washer and dryer? I think I have a gas dryer. Help!

My water cooler has been acting funny recently. Hot water works no problem. But the cold water side is the problem. When I push the spigot, sometimes water won't come out normally. Sometimes it drips when I let it go. Sometimes it works fine. Before it works fine though, water will come out real slow for a few seconds. It's pretty frustrating especially when I'm thirsty. I removed the spigot cap to get to the line directly, and water doesn't gush out. So its definitely NOT the spigot gasket, spring, or operation.


I shaked and hit the machine. Resetted it. No go. Also the air vent for the tank isn't blocked.

Whats going on?

Countries in Europe have an on and off switch for an outlet, how come there are no switches. Also, I don't think people realize that even if something is connected to an outlet, electricity is still flowing, regardless if an appliance is on or off. So next time, when your electricity bill comes, and its sky rocket, now you know why.

The water in my brand new toilet bowl (new tank also), does not come up to the level at which the bowl has a drastic angle change. My plumber said it was ok, that that is how it is with the new models. Will it affect the flashing ability? Will it be able to flash the "bigger, gigantic, contributions" my husband makes to the bowl? With the old toilet they would stay for days, we had to brake it down with a stick.

A friend has a refrigerator that's only 2 years old. She's been told that it is leaking Freon. I'm trying to remember if 1) they still use Freon in refrigerators? (I think they replaced it in car A/C units.) and, more importantly 2) If it is leaking, are there potential health effects? She has a small child, so this is very important.

Please let me know what you know! THANKS!

Our insurance company is paying for all repairs and mold cleanup (except for $500 deductible). Question: as part of our claim with the insurance company, should we also include medical costs and lost wages due to being allergies as a result of the mold? Anything else to include in the claim I may not be thinking of?

My outlet had a little red light that is flashing and making an annoying sound... what is it? The power still works. The light doesnt stop if I take the plug out. Does anyone have any idea what this is? I live in a dorm room and can't ask the electrician because No pets are aloud and I have a bunny in my room.
What should I do? It is an annoying sound and I won't be able to sleep with it doing that.
