"I first got in contact with Jackie with nautical remodeling on the 17th to weather strip my doors through Angie’s list. I didn’t look much into nautical remodeling since it was suppose to be a simple job and I thought Angie’s list only had licensed contractors. Jackie contacted me saying he would like to stop by on the afternoon of the 20th. When he got there I called him and stated I wanted the front door, back door, upstairs porch door weather stripped, couple floor trims to be glued down, 3 striker plates installed. He stated the front door is warped but he said the door is worth saving since it’s a 3k door just needs to be taken completely down off the hinges to be worked on and sanded to make it stop rubbing the floor on the outside corner. He quoted me $1400 for everything and I agreed to pay $1400 since he stated he needed to take down the front door to sand/work. But he never sent a contract over and refused to send an itemized list. He also told me if I needed anything else to contact him I told him on January 21st that the heater on the bottom level wasn’t working and the water was cold. He stopped by the next day on January 22nd when the roads were open to check out that issue but never fixed anything, didn’t even bring tools and couldn’t even figure out how to use the attic ladder so nothing got done. On the 23rd since he didn’t fix the heater I sent him the home warranty I had stating he doesn’t have to worry about the heater and tankless water heater. The next couple days had ice on the roads so he didn’t come, stated he would come on the 24th. Ended up rescheduling again for the 25th. He was really late and immediately started backing out of the work we agreed on. Did not want to take the front door down to work on it and just put cheap weatherstrip on it. Did not put weatherstrip on the back door and upstairs door to the porch. Did not glue down floor trims, did not install the 3 striker plates. Then left without offering any money back. I called him and said he needs to atleast install the striker plates. He said he would Monday on January 27th but never showed up and I had to contact him asking where he is and he told me he couldn’t come then we rescheduled for Wednesday January 29th. He was late again but installed the striker plates. All he got done in all that time was weatherstrip/doorsweep on the front door that was falling off on front door and install 3 striker plates. That shouldn’t have taken more than 2 hours to do all that. Was late every day he showed up most days he didn’t. extremely rude to everyone at the house, and never offered any money back. Would not recommend any use nautical remodeling and to stay away from Jackie O’Neal if that’s even his real name. If you for some reason want to do business with them make sure to get everything recorded on text, email, or written contract. Jackie will do his best to do all business over the phone so there’s the least amount of proof on record. Also does not appeared to be licensed through the Better Business Bureau and Alabama Licensing Board for General Contractors which was not stated upfront."

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.
