Something that happens when you are away.....

Many homes here in Lakewood Ranch use gas for cooking, pool heaters, water heaters.... Well, Mitzi at TECO gas gotten to know us in the summer of 2019....

Country Club East - We noticed a smell of gasoline on the outside back of the home near the pool equipment. We call TECO. Mitzi shows up and confirms there is a gas leak in the pool equipment. Repairs done.

Country Club East - We noticed a smell of gasoline on the outside back of the home near the pool equipment. We call TECO. Mitzi shows up and confirms there is a gas leak near the pool equipment and it is their repair to do. Line done.

Esplanade - We show up to do a semi-monthly home check. Open the front door and smell gas. We call TECO. Yep - Mitzi again. By now she just waves at us knowing it's a legit call. This time though she confirms there is a leak but cannot find it. Everything needs to be turned off and a deep investigation needs to happen. Short story - when the new fence was installed around the pool equipment, it nicked the line sending gas up the line and into the attic then down into the house.....Found - fixed - no more leak.

Ok so we have been really bad at using FB! So I'm going to try...

Something that happens when you are away.....

I noticed one of the houses we check felt a bit more humid than normal (even for Florida) so I went to go check on the HVAC filter. As I went to open the compartment, I felt water on my arm - never a good sign. I opened the condensation line and water started flowing up and out of it! Not good!!! Slam that top back on! The HVAC was working way too hard. Every 5 mins it would go on only to have the back flow turn it off. It was working properly. It was doing what it should. But it could never keep the air on and the humidity out. So we called the AC company, the line was flushed out, the AC back on line and the house cooled down (and dried off a bit!).

Soooooo - in FL - get your AC system checked and flushed at the beginning of the summer and at the end. You do NOT want your house to be too humid - mold likes that.
