After Winter's Thaw, The Gurus of How-To Tackle Spring

The Leonard Lopate Show | Apr 7, 2015

The Gurus of How-To, Al Ubell and Larry Ubell, answer questions and give advice on how to repair and maintain your home or apartment. They'll offer tips on keeping your furnace in fine form, making sure your pipes don't freeze, and making sure your home is heated and insulated efficiently.

Smoke Detector Tip: The Ubells recommend buying a photo-electric smoke detector. Many default smoke detectors are ionization smoke detectors and have a high failure rate. The Ubells also recommend having a smoke detector in your bedroom.
