Re: My fish rescue business is in danger. Can you help?
Rude, you hit it right on the nose. The one contractor willing to take on this mess and try to resolve this for me said all signs point to insufficient cold air returns. He never installed any, just ran off of one existing one. This guy told me the frost that was on my furnace when the central air was on when it first was installed gave him the first clue as I told him my furnace where the air comes in at was all frosted up. He said that tells him right away after install was the sign there was not proper cold air returns. When you pull the filter out you can hear the motor change speeds. that is another indication. Half the winter that is the only way I could get heat is to keep the filter out. That was this guys "fix it". Keep the filter out, keep the door off, keep the fan running 24/7. I do not know how many parts he has replaced on a brand new furnace. He opened up the only cold air return I had to make it bigger and this one can't keep up with it all. He is so frustrated that he hasn't returned my calls. I haven't heard from him in over a few months. The only way I could get heat this past Saturday was to take off the door to the furnace, pull the filter and keep flipping the furnace switch and hitting the relay button every half hr. Finally by like 8pm after working on it since 8 am.....the furnace finally decided to stay running. BUT...the door is still off and the filter is still out. What a joke this is.
In order to run more cold air returns, the ceiling has to ripped apart, and this is a finished basement now holding over 60 fish tanks. Any foreign objects that may fall into tanks may wipe out an entire tank. That is why no one wants to touch this. Do do this right, all 60 plus tanks should be removed, all the fish should be taken out, then the $25 a sheet fiberglass panels be torn out and all the insulation that is stapled needs to be removed, then run all the returns that should have been done in the first place. Then put insulation back, go buy more $25 a sheet panels, redue the mess...put back 60 tanks and all the fish. Can I cry yet?
