  1. Nice video 😉 We’ve had our heating and air people out twice in one week. Of course this is our hotest week of over 100 degrees. We don’t usually get this long of a heat streak. The unit isn’t working today but yesterday again, I was told it is working fine. arugh! Dying in Southern Illinois heat. Your video was helpful as we have done all of that.

  2. Make sure that your air conditioner is in proper and efficient running order this summer. it has been hot all across the country, and the last thing you want is you and your family going without air conditioning.

  3. Thanks for your video. My husband and I did all of that and it really is helpful. Cheers! 🙂
