Every homeowner should have a tool kit that contains the basic tools that you may need to do regular repairs on your home. By having these tools on hand, you can be prepared to handle all repairs in your home, and you can take on some home improvements also.

Hand Tools

Start with the most basic of your tools - hand tools. You need to have a collection of Phillips head screwdrivers as well as straight screwdrivers. You should also have pliers: Regular, needle nose and locking. Then you will want to have wrenches: An Allen wrench, adjustable wrench, combination wrench and a socket wrench set. Also essential is a hammer including a claw and a ball peen hammer and a mallet. In addition to your hand tools you will want basic power drill with a variety of drill bits. You may also want to have a few larger tools handy including a pipe wrench, a pick and a sledgehammer.

Cutting Tools

When you have to cut something, a power saw comes in hand. You should have the right saw for the job, and you will probably build your saw collection slowly. Start with a jigsaw, and then you can add a coping saw, a bow saw, a hacksaw, a crosscut saw and a circular saw. You also want to have a good utility knife and a pair of tin snips to start out.

Safety Gear

No one likes to get hurt, so make sure that you stack the deck in your favor when it comes to safety. You should have earplugs or earmuffs, safety goggles, a dust mask, and a flashlight. It is also a good idea to have a ladder, stepstool and extension cords. At various times you will need ropes, work lights and clamps, and you can pick these things up as you need them. A machinist vice is great to have, but you may need to wait until you have a workshop for that one.

Measuring Tools

When you are measuring things, you need to have a tape measure. You probably want to have a ruler or straight edge, yardstick and a combination square. You also need a level and a chalk line. Then you will probably eventually acquire a pry bar, a metal file, wood chisels, putty knives, a center punch and a countersink nail set.

Nails and Fasteners

Once you have your tools all lined out, you will want to have nails and screws. You will very likely accumulate these as you have leftovers from projects, but you will also want to have nuts, bolts and washers. You should have some sandpaper in a couple of different grades along with some spray lubricant and wood glue.

Specialty Tools

There will be projects that you undertake that need special equipment or tools, and you will gradually accumulate more and more tools and equipment as time goes on. But for now, the tools listed above should get you off to a good start to get most of your regular home maintenance jobs done.

Maintenance Tips to Cut Down on Air Conditioning Repair in Tampa FL

Any air conditioner will sooner or later require repair. Proper air conditioning maintenance is needed in order to cut down on air conditioning repair costs. If the air-conditioning repair called for is quite simple, perhaps you can even try to do it yourself to further save money. Some troubleshooting procedures are very easy to do and are, in fact, part of maintenance. Since air conditioning is practically a basic need in Tampa, here are some maintenance tips to lessen the need for AC repair among Tampa FL residents.

Before anything else, make sure that you have your owner’s manual on hand. Put it in an easily accessible place where you can find it when needed. It is assumed that you have read the owner’s manual upon installation of the air conditioner and that you have followed instructions on the unit’s proper use. In case you have misplaced the owner’s manual, request for another copy from your air conditioner’s manufacturer. Do this even before you encounter any problems with the unit. Through the owner’s manual, you will be able to identify the parts of your unit.

Before you do any cleaning, maintenance or repair work on your air conditioner, make sure that the power is turned off. Check the panel of switches. Better yet, unplug the unit if that is possible. If you are not sure whether or not the unit is already totally cut off from its electrical source, shut off the house’s electricity.

Make sure the power cord is not frayed or worn. Remove the control panel and unscrew the cord terminals. Use a volt-ohm-milliammeter (VOM) set to the RX1 scale to test the cord’s plug prongs. If the cord is functioning properly, the meter should read zero. If the meter reads higher, replace the cord.

Also behind the control panel, check the selector switch terminals for any burn marks. Replace if needed.

Clean your filter regularly, at least once a month. Washable filters are carefully scrubbed with mild detergent, rinsed well and dried completely before reinstalling. Some filters are disposable and need to be replaced.

Clean your evaporator and condenser coils monthly, using a vacuum cleaner. Carefully straighten out the fins using a fin comb.

Check if your drain ports are clogged. Clean them out with wire monthly. Sometimes air conditioner models have several drain ports. Make sure you clean all of them.

If the fan is noisy or does not function, try cleaning it first. Open the unit and vacuum away dirt. Follow this with a soft cloth. Once clean, check if the fan blades are loose and tighten the setscrew with a screwdriver or Allen wrench. You may also need to tighten the fan on the motor shaft using a long-blade screwdriver, and the fan housing bolts with a wrench. A fan with an oil port needs to be oiled every month with several drops of 20-weight non-detergent motor oil.

When the air conditioning repair necessary is beyond your capability, though, especially when the problem is with the motor or compressor, it is recommended that you call for expert AC repair service personnel. The money you have saved through proper maintenance and simple troubleshooting will come in handy once you need professional air-conditioning repair from a real service center in Tampa FL.

There are professional heating, ventilation and air conditioning repair services that handle everything from AC to furnace repair in Tampa FL. The following brands are often carried and serviced by these companies: Carrier, Trane, Amana, Goodman, Rheem, Frigidaire, American Standard, Bryant, Janitrol, York, Ruud, Weatherking, Tempstar, Payne, Comfortmaker, Gibson, Heil, Intertherm, Lennox, Luxaire and Tappan.
