I am looking for a company to clean my duct work in the house. Want someone that will do a good job but reasonable. Any suggestions?

Crawford Company call and ask for Troy Green. His number is located on QCGeneral.com, under Heating and Air scroll your mouse over his business card and it will pop-up larger. Be sure to sign his “guestbook” when he’s done, he does good work. He also has before and after picture on his business card.

Last year my house was so hot in the summer. I don’t have cenral air, and I am thinking about installing a whole house fan as recommended by a friend. What can you tell me about them.

Jeff, whole house fans always remind me of a friend when I was growing up. His dad refused to spend money on air conditioning of any kind. One day he went to the Holiday Inn for a Bose sound radio presentation and came home with on of those Bose wave radios that cost over $1000.00. His family made fun of him for spending all that money on a radio while his family sat listening to it in a pool of sweat. He then broke down and bought the family a whole house fan to suck the air through the windows in the hot summer. My friend would bring it up when we would go to his house for parties, and have the whole room howling with laughter as everyone is dripping sweat, and his dad in the corner of the room messing with the Bose system, saying “would you listen to that sound quality” The whole house fans are a good Idea to draw the air through the house and into the attic. It also helps in cooling your attic to help extend the life of your roofing. Thanks for the question, Andy Love Ask the Expert Home Improvement

We purchased a new mannufactured home and placed it on our own property. We are concerned that the furnace/ac is working too hard and very little air comes out some registers. It is a sectional and we know we are getting some air to both sides. Any suggestions as to who to call to come and look at the system? We have a crawl space under the home on a permanent foundation. Thanks…

If you log on to www.QCGeneral.com find UTILITIES at the bottom and click on ‘Air Conditioning’ Precision Air is the name of the business card. Keith Sheldon, 563-285-9510 . Tell them Andy Love sent you. He can find out what’s going on with the system. It is the middle of the cooling system, so you may get put on a schedule, but he can take care of you. Thanks, Andy

I will be installing a new high efficiency furnace in my house and will no longer have a need for my chimney. As I could use the space that the chimney occupies in my house, who can I call to take my chimey out of my house and repair the hole left in my roof and floors below?

Before you continue make sure your water heater is also direct vent out the side of the house. I don’t know of one gut that can do it all, but here is a list of people I deal with on a daily basis. If you need a price on the high efficiency furnace give Bob Richards a call at 309-370-4895 . Call Jeff Goodnight @ 309-373-1041 to remove the chimney and haul away, Call Mark Griffin @ 309-292-0271 to repair the roof, and call Kristian with black Tie Flooring @ 309-764-1904 for the repair of the Flooring. Or you can call me and I can organize all of it for you. Hope this helps, good question. Yours truly, Andy Ask the Expert.
