"First, Schaal really needs to add "plumbing" to their catchy commercial jingle because whenever I'd tell someone who I'd called to come and fix my leaky toilet they'd say "They do plumbing too?" Yes, they do. Second, I have to mention Deb, who answered the phone when I called to schedule my appointment, has to be one of the best customer-service people I've dealt with. She was extremely friendly and helpful, so compliments to her. The reason for my call was a toilet leaking into my basement when flushed. Also had the valve replaced as it sprayed water when flushed. Plumber arrived on time (a bit early even), explained what was possible that he might uncover (my house was built in 1940 so I knew other problems could be uncovered) and got the work completed in under an hour. Luckily he didn't uncover anything more than the basics - wax ring replacement, flapper/valve replacement. The price for the work done seemed reasonable I suppose, but that's one of those things I'm never sure of. When your toilet is leaking into your basement you don't want to get a bunch of estimates, you just want it fixed so you get the first people available out. Overall completely satisfied with the work and would certainly use Schaal again in the future."

Running a window air conditioner to cool a small room often costs less than $4 per day, making it cheaper than central air for single-room cooling. However, central air might be more efficient if you're using multiple window units or need to cool a space larger than 1,000 square feet. Choosing the right size AC is crucial—a unit that's too big or small can waste energy and increase costs.
Window AC units can use a significant amount of energy. These units use about 12 to 17 kilowatt-hours per day, significantly more than a refrigerator's one to 1.5 kilowatt-hours per day. To keep your energy costs down, run your window AC only when necessary, keep doors closed to contain the cool air, regularly clean filters and coils, and seal any gaps around the unit to prevent cold air from escaping.
Inexpensive air conditioner units are often not worth it. Low-cost products from popular brands like General Electric, LG, Whirlpool, or Frigidaire may be a reasonable investment. However, putting a small, budget-friendly unit in a large room wastes energy and shortens the life span of the AC since it has to draw more power and work much harder to cool the space. The unit will consume more energy and stress the motor and other internal parts, resulting in early breakdown and costly repairs.
The best deals on window AC units come during the fall when businesses slash prices to clear out old inventory. You can also speak with your local AC installer, who may get you a good deal on a window AC unit since they have access to trade pricing. You can also watch for discontinued products and flash sales in your area.
Window AC repair costs between $110 and $390, with most people paying around $250. Parts cost between $2 and $150, with the rest going toward labor, at around $30 per hour. The occasional one-off repair or a routine AC tuneup cost $75 to $200. Servicing can keep your AC running in good condition for several more years before you need to pay for a replacement unit.
Window AC units last eight to 10 years when installed and maintained correctly. High-quality models last up to 20 years with proper care and routine maintenance. The unit’s longevity depends on its construction quality, regular cleaning, and electrical safety inspections. Keeping the filters and coils clean and addressing minor repairs promptly extends its effective performance and ensures reliable cooling.
