Q & A:

- Air Conditioning: A contractor tried to upsell Mike on cleaning his HVAC system. Better options are using good air filters and a coil cleaner to loosen dust and spores.

- Roof Leak: Mary’s roof started leaking after a cold spell formed ice dams. We explain the damage they cause and the repairs that should be covered by her insurance policy.
