  1. At 68, I'm in similar situation, I transferred my 401 into a IRA and I have some winners and a few losers. All together I'm still about 10% ahead , FBGRX has done great, PFL provides me with a dividend taken as a monthly check, KMX is finally in the green some, FNJN was a good research find, PPA was a good choice for the Presidential change, I just knew JBLU was going to be a good one with the low oil price but it's -9% for a year. CJES was a bad choice I thought fracking would make them do better but the oil price dropped too low,
  2. I won't say you can't do it, but the water heater and the refrigerator must be on gas, and always check the cord and plug for heat.
  3. Those 110V adapters are just good for 15 amps. Where ever the heat is, it is the location of a voltage drop, If you have it in a 110v standard outlet, it's likely just a 15 amp outlet. voltage drop causes the ac to kick breakers. The lower the voltage is at the unit, the higher the amps goes the breaker sees .
  4. One wire wrong on a capacitor, and the fan won't shut off, even pros mess up, it took me 40 years to learn this trade. you think I can fix your ac in 100 words, no. I offer advice like make sure the condenser is clean and the fins not folded and check that you don't use adapters on the cord. I'm not going to risk having someone that can't even LOOK at the condenser coil and see that it's stopped up, or tell to change a capacitor when I don't even know if they make sure there's no power to the unit, I would rather just be quiet but that didn't really work either. be safe, check the powers off, go as far as you feel safe, then call a expert. offer him water, have a good ladder and offer to help
  5. Me too, 40 years of owning a AC company, wow at the wrong info that comes out of forums.
  6. Air conditioning information on forums is worth what you pay for it. Sometimes less!
  7. All through the south, I've never been ask to pay at a Walmart, did you get a receipt, it not it went into the person you paids pocket
