oh my sounds bad, i had this problem where my furnace couldnt get enough return air, the furnace guys turned down the power? of the furnace and said only use the cheap green fibourous filters because the good filters blocked too much air for my furnace because the return air ducts are on the small side.
so u could try removing the filter for 10 minutes and see if it goes? this problem i had was a few years ago and i never had a problem again, but its like it would run but the furnace freaked out all the time
Our dogs are not enjoying the cold on their feet.
My labradoodle loves the snow, but only when others are outside with him. He starts getting antsy for a walk around noon.
Ours keeps wanting to go out and play in the snow. She then turns around waiting for someone to come out with her. She spends about 2 minutes running around then comes back in and lays by the fireplace.
Lab mix must have paws of steel. He had the zoomies outside at 7:30. I hid my hiking boots from him so he’s been barking at the lead hanging on a hook by the front door.
I just want to bake, clean, and throw The Day After Tomorrow on TV. The two sons that are here already volunteered to take him out to the dog park for a few minutes if the gate isn’t frozen shut.
I've taken a screwdriver and assisted the blower a few times once when we were waiting on the HVAC guy to show up. Could just be a belt that has busted and depending on your ability, could be something you can change out.
1.) Yes only use the cheap fibergalss style filters for a HE furnace. It is not your furnaces job to filter/purify the air of your home.
2.) Our furnace used to overtemp and shut off because there wasn't enough airflow on the return side even with a cheap filter. We came home one year from Christmas at the in-laws and our house was 38 degrees. To this day I don't know how our pipes didn't freeze. My HVAC guy suggested that I take the top cover off where the furnace filter slides in so I did. Haven't had a problem since.
We one time had the outside pipe get drifted over with snow. Didn't think about it, until the repair guy told me to check that beforehand since he was busy. Cleared it off and it was fine.
I agree, I used to run the cheapest quilted filter and last winter (before ours went totally caput), we put in a new furnace and the guy told us to use the cheap fiberglass filters, said he would need to amp up our blower if we used anything else and it would cut the life of the furnace.
I brought all my winter gear in from the garage to warm up, I will be about 30 minutes behind you. Just don't get stuck this time,
