This week, the team sits down to prepare for the reality that Texas summer is finally here! We kickoff with an in-depth discussion of home HVAC repair and maintenance, the function of supply and return vents, and those tricky areas in the house no one really cleans.
Mary shares details about a potential home improvement scam sweeping new builds in the area, and Ashley brings up the summer electricity-saving topic on everyone's mind: Solar energy. For the final act, Randy paints a vivid picture of the residential wind turbine market.
