The Aha! Connection is the best place to obtain recommendations from Dunwoody neighbors and friends regarding services such as landscapers, plumbers, remodelers, painters, roofers, etc. For years I’ve asked for recommendations and with the capabilities of my Aha! Connection website I am able to easily retain the information on-line for everyone to share and refer back to. If I’ve ever created a “list” of recommendations then they’ll be located in this section of my website!
Email Audra if you want to add a recommendation to an existing list. »

Spring/Summer is here! It’s time to cool down safely without paying a fortune! My Neighborhood Electrician, an “Audra’s top choice,” and a rock-solid 5-star rated Kudzu company, is here to help!
FACT:
Did you know that heat buildup in your attic can raise your electric bill over 40%? Temperatures are rising and many of us are thinking about turning on our A/C to cool down! Are your attic vents working properly? If they aren’t cooling your home well, you could end up spending a fortune on your summer utility bills.
FACT:
Did you know that using ceiling fans can lower your electric bill by 25%? The concept is simple. If you use a ceiling fan, you can raise your thermostat and still get the same cooling effect. Fans are a great way to trick your body and mind into thinking it’s cooler than it actually is; they blow hot air away from your body and can make a room feel up to 8 degrees cooler. This means lower electric bills.
Thank you to the Aha! Subscribers who provided their recommendations!

If anyone has others to add or changes to make just email me and I’ll file them away and update the list periodically!
I update the tutor list as frequently as possible so if you know someone who should be added to the list please email me and I’ll make updates again soon.
Meanwhile I have received several inquiries about needing help for students who are applying to college. The application process has changed tremendously since I was applying to college in the late eighties! The inquiries from Aha! parents range from college counselor recommendations, help with writing essays and filling out applications, SAT and ACT Tutor suggestions etc.
Please email me or comment on the website post if you have any helpful information to share regarding anything to do with the college application scene! I’m either going to make a new list or simply add to the tutor list since many of these type recommendations are already on the updated tutor list! It all depends on what you share with me!!
Thanks for your input…you are the reason that The Aha! Connection continues to thrive!
Thanks to Aha! Subscriber Amanda Hensley for being my “guest list creator” for this list! I emailed the Aha! Subscribers asking for opinions about babysitting courses.

Update: Click here for HVAC List as of 11/15/11
I can’t seem to get warm today in my office! As I’m grabbing some socks to put on it suddenly dawned on my why so many people have been asking me for HVAC recommendations lately! People are wisely gearing up for the cold! I asked for recommendations in 2006 (before the Aha! Connection was really the Aha! Connection). I received several great recommendations and purchased a new HVAC unit back then. I’ve been very happy with the vendor I chose and they have been fabulous for all of my maintenance visits.
So…I’ve decided it is time for a new list!! I’ll share my recommendations with you when I publish the list. Meanwhile I want all of your recommendations so that we can all benefit from each other’s knowledge! I’m opening the comments forum for you to reply directly to the webposting but if you can’t figure that out then by all means send me an email. I’ll need as much information as you can provide but here are some basic things that would be nice to know:
For those of you who want to know what HVAC stands for: Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning.
