Caulking around roof vents and ac unit
What is best way to do this? What type of sealant or caulk to use? How often should it be done. We have no leaks but just want to do preventive maintenance

on this subject, can caulking the roof wrong stop the AC from working right?
No, why would it?
If the caulking interfers with the normal drains in the lower A/C pan that allow the condensate to naturally drain onto the roof and then off then you run the risk of "damming" the water between the caulking and the rubber A/C gasket and increasing the potential for a leak thru the gasket. I would advise against attempting to put any sort of caulking around the A/C.
