From flooded basements to plumbing that isn’t up-to-code, we’ve all heard tales of homeownership nightmares — and have plenty of questions that we’re afraid to ask, like:

🌬. How often should I be replacing my air filters?
🚽 How do I unclog my toilet without calling for help?
🚰 What can’t I pour down my sink… and why?
🔥 Should I turn my water heater off if I’m going on vacation?
🚿 Why do I have to wait so long for hot water in my bathroom when it’s so close to the water heater?
❄️ How do I know if it’s time to replace my A/C unit?
🌬 What is the difference between ‘auto’ and ‘cool/heat’ on my thermostat?
💧 Is a tankless water heater better than a traditional one?

Just to name a few.

To help you get ahead of potential home issues, we’re asking you to send us all of the confusing questions + concerns you have. And there’s no such thing as a stupid question.
