Hello, I guess some people don't like me. Such is life. On to the plan. If you have sheet rock, the repairs aren't so bad. It is difficult to match some textures, but there aint nuthin that can't be fixed. If the first guy fails, get another, and another until you are happy. In remodeling, we have scraped the texture off and started over many times. We have removed very expensive paneling to do repairs. We have opened concrete walls, Block walls, to make repairs. My company has worked on many projects that looked impossible. Trying to use one return, is about like sharing your toothbrush with your next door neighbor. Replace the bad duct. Don't do anything unnecessary. Get a second opinion first.

Common Problems With Air Conditioning. Open Windows One of the most common problems with the cooling system in your home is occurs when doors and windows are left open. You might be surprised at how often just being vigilant about doors and windows can significantly improve the cooling process for your home. Low Refrigerant Refrigerant is the chemical that cools the air within your AC system. Low levels of refrigerant could mean there is a leak, or an actual problem with the refrigerant system. If your AC system needs to be recharged, most of the time that suggests there is a leak. Leaky Ducts, Bad Air Flow Leaky ducts or improper air flow are another very common culprit for why your AC is not cooling properly. Inconsistent temperatures often are an indicator that this is the problem. If there is a leak somewhere in the line then the cool air that is moving from your unit through your home is not making it all the way to where it needs to go. Filters and Coils Check your filters and coils. A dirty filter or coil will restrict your air flow and keep your machine from running at peak efficiency. Clogged Drain A clogged condensate drain on your unit can cause loss of efficiency and cooling. It is best to get a certified HVAC technician to check this for you, it is bit more technical and it is better to be safe than sorry. If you break something it could cause a much more expensive repair later on. Outside Fan The outside fan is responsible for conveying the heat from your home to the outside air. If the fan on the outside isn’t performing correctly, the proper heat transfer cannot take place, the air conditioning compressor may overhead and trip the safety overload. Solution The best and most effective way to prevent these problems is by participating in a preventive maintenance program. If you would like help with your air conditioner from a professional.

a) you want a timer that is specifically rated for heavy duty appliances or specifically for air conditioners. mechanical one are about $15 and digital ones $20-$25. Are teh timers you are looking at specifically rated for heavy appliances? B) your quesiton on determining how to turn off a breaker or how to determine if the breaker is off and your consideration of latex gloves makes me beleive YOU ARE NOT the person to open a receptacle to even just turn the receptacle around. that is no judgment on you, you may have lots of other skills people who can do that don't have. you don't need an electrician but you do want someone who has done it before. C) how old is your home? from the pics it looks pretty old. the wiring and insulation is already degraded from age use. power strips, extension cords, and receptacle multipliers pictured are meant for light duty appliances, NOT for combining microwaves and air-conditioners on an outlet. Can you aggregate the "amps" on the appliances you are attempting to plug in? those are all on visable labels on your appliances. As others have mentioned the lenght of extension cords, more importantly the gauge or thickness, and the number of connections, cord to timer, to cord, to multiplier, increase resistance, tiny arching etc. not just each length, but each connection increases increases the resistance of the circuit. If all that adds up to 10 amps on an older 15 amp circuit you want to get an electrician to give an estimate to wire up a new circuit. running new circuits which will be enormously helpful and safe, can range from $300 to 1500 depending, but there is a very good chance you will be lucky and some electricians give free or inexpensive setimates
