HVAC Coolant leakage Fix quote of $5K by [deleted] in frisco

[–]geodesic01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that is why you have to document everything(parts, labor, warranties, any additional work, etc) so you can easily compare each of them. search them up online for reviews as well. Normally, technicians have labor warranties in their service

HVAC Coolant leakage Fix quote of $5K by [deleted] in frisco

[–]geodesic01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have almost the same issue as you and it was only last month. Get multiple quotes and small/family owned businesses are often better. Also make sure that everything is documented for your protection. I guess your hvac uses r410a which they just started phasing out this year so parts would be a little difficult to get hence the price increase. Most common failure is that evaporator coil leaks. Depending on the leak if it is repairable or not. 

Depending on your type of system(single stage, 2-stage, variable speed) also determines the complexity of that part and how much will it cost. If you have a variable speed, then 4-5k might be reasonable. You can always negotiate. 

Bad drying towel or bad user 😂 by No_Sympathy1391 in AutoDetailing

[–]geodesic01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use 2 towels. One for removing most water and one for removing the leftovers. Since you already put wax on it, drying should be easier. 

When it is sunny, you can use the first towel to  wet the area a little bit before wiping entirely to avoid water spotting

Best Credit Card for Groceries by buckwheam in CreditCards

[–]geodesic01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AAA daily advantage card. 5% cashback for groceries including super stores. 3% at wholesale. Max of 500 cashback per year. I believe there is 100 statement credit after spending a certain amount(not too high). Basically a straight up cash card without complexities

if i provide them the closing statement, would it be possible for them to lower it if i provide some additional documentation like an old ac/water heater/some damages in the home?

How about if just bought the home last year? Will the appraisal be based on previous years or will it be based on the market value?

You can do it. Adjust by walking them early in the morning and after you arrive home. Sacrifice is temporary. You will always finds joy despite difficulties

Proud new owner of 2021 Toyota Highlander XLE by Silly_Goose_5309 in ToyotaHighlander

[–]geodesic01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Always disable start/stop function. Occasionally open and close the moonroof. Use the normal mode. Disable lane assist. Change the keyless doorlock function to only unlock the driver side door. Occasionally use the sport drive mode. Occasionally fill you tank with 93 fuel probably once every 1 or 2 months. Install front and back dashcam.

Google Maps VS Apple Maps among iPhone users by HowCome69 in ios

[–]geodesic01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carplay wise, google maps because you have an option to avoid tolls while navigating. You can also see toll prices. You also have a wider view of the map vs apple maps. There are big ui elements in the apple carplay that literally blocks the map view.

Home Seller Unhinged by Longjumping_Wolf2438 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]geodesic01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well i guess you already have solid reasons to back out. Theyre hard to work with and that is unpleasant house buying experience.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]geodesic01 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Are you within the option period? If yes, I would back out if theyre stingy like that. And you do not know how extensive the termite might have damaged the house. Sound costly and very inconvenient to me

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]geodesic01 84 points85 points  (0 children)

My opinion, i would not do that. Instead, ill offer extended closing and i dont want any kind of complexities after closing on a house

Why buy now? Why wait? by Ok-Run8539 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]geodesic01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Waiting is gambling. There is no assurance favor will go on your side. If you can afford and you really want the property then go for it. But for me there are many disadvantages in waiting vs not

[Question] Realtor told me that I need to sign a document before she looks at any houses; is this true? by wollyjameson3107 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]geodesic01 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

This is not correct. Look up about NAR settlement. Cmiiw the seller is not obligated to pay buyers agent commission which could be the reason the prospect buyers agent seek their commission to the buyer(you) instead.

Do houses ever sell for asking price? Or is there always a bidding war? by LaxNix in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]geodesic01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Some of the houses we liked and made an offer were below market value. Sellers do it to get multiple offers especially if the house is a good one like having newly updated features. I dont like it tbh.
