Home Sweet Home Chicago: AC Maintenance Tips, Roofing & Storm Scams, and Mosquito Warning

Home Sweet Home Chicago: AC Maintenance Tips, Roofing & Storm Scams, VA Benefits Help, and West Nile Mosquito Warning

WGN’s Home Sweet Home Chicago with David Hochberg features a weather update and introduces sponsors and experts from Rose Pest Solutions, Doornbos Heating and Air Conditioning, and Lindholm Roofing. The show discusses summer HVAC maintenance (filters, thermostat settings, blower/fan use, condensate drains) and warns about unethical contractors pushing unnecessary replacements. Hochberg criticizes repeated delays in Cook County second-installment tax bills and explains how late bills affect home sales and refinances, urging callers to contact Tyler Technologies. Listener calls cover roof choices (metal vs asphalt), storm-damage cautions about “storm chasers,” and veteran benefits guidance, including help for a surviving spouse filing VA paperwork. Rose Pest Solutions warns about West Nile–positive mosquitoes and offers mosquito and fly-prevention advice.
