I'm waiting for H&B Refrigeration to show up to repair My furnace and fix the flue, I called to confirm that, they'd like to replace My system, I could pay for part of it, up to $300.00, but that is all, I just don't have what they want, I'm hoping they show up and do what I can pay for today.

H&B refrigeration & service came by, the old A/C coil is clogged, with cat hair and dust, yes I have air filters, good ones, the old A/C coil has to be removed, the old A/C coil is not in use and is obsolete, I was told they might be able to put in a shield around the top of the flue, but altering the flue is out, but removing the old A/C coil is not for today, this takes an hour or so, they thought it was a circuit board or a fuse, today He was in the area, in between calls, He has a refrigeration unit to work on, maybe in a few days My problem can be fixed.

I was told the furnace would work again, once the a/c coil and cat hair was removed, the furnace was just not getting any air, and that was keeping the blower on, there just wasn't the time for that today, hopefully this won't take more than 1 hour.

the furnace was just not getting any air

I've heard that the expensive HEPA filters are actually not a good idea to buy for exactly that reason. They restrict the air flow so much, they put a strain on the blower motor.

This furnace is 30yrs old, HEPA filters it doesn't have, it's clogged cause of Cat hair and dust.

Right, I'm just saying use of a HEPA-quality filter might not be a good idea.

Well there is no way to add one, so no worries, and even if there was, it's not what I need.
The air filters are more like green scrubbing pads that are about 1/2" thick, minus the sponge.

In any case I have to wait, today the Waste King garbage disposal is on the way here to My door.

Are they the reusable type that you wash?

I just use a cheap basic disposable filter, 16x25x1 size, and replace it once a month or so. There are HEPA style filters in that size, and they cost a lot more, plus the problem presented seems to be that they restrict air flow so much they might hurt the furnace.

Yeah, they can be washed, though I'm not sure how, and they're not made of paper, no other filter will fit, outside of the type that stops grease, which was previously there.

What would be the reason to have a grease trapping filter in a furnace?

They were advertised as furnace air filters, they fit, plus they are washable.

The Waste King garbage disposal is here, it has a power cord attached, and I think I now need someone to do some plumbing work, in the bathroom and in the kitchen, after I get the furnace done, after both are done, then I can see if I have enough left over for a tire and a Ford center rim cap, the 15x5.5" Ford rim will be paid for with paypal credit, I hope I don't need to add any money, but I'll find out after I get the refund back into My account there.

I did get some vacuuming done, mainly near the gas furnace and on the clothes washer and gas dryer.

If the filters are washable, doesn't that suggest they should have been washed?

I've heard that the expensive HEPA filters are actually not a good idea to buy for exactly that reason. They restrict the air flow so much, they put a strain on the blower motor.

We have a medical type HEPA filter unit running 24/7 (HoMedics AR 10A) because my partner has COPD and uses inhalers. It has a red light on it that comes on when the filter needs cleaning. It works precisely on the basis that a clogged air filter restricts the air flow. Likely it electronically monitors the voltage/current that the motor needs to maintain the air flow, and flags it up when it gets too high.

HoMedics

In the case of vics heater unit, He is non-technical so probably didn't know that it has a filter, didn't realise that it needed cleaning, and probably couldn't have done it anyway. Now it seems that at 30 years old it is likely it cannot be repaired but needs a new one that he can't afford. But that's another story.

1. The furnace did not have a filter when I bought the place.
2. I did know it needed one, but this is not your ordinary forced air system, the cover is meant to hold any filters, ones for a house won't work.
3. I have owned houses before, not manufactured homes.
4. Non technical? LOL

Anything more will be in My thread, not here, you too can post there, just be civil.

That's a nice portable one, and makes sense. My original point was that generic HEPA filters are marketed to people with big furnaces, but ordinary HVAC systems aren't designed to have that sort of restrictive filter.

Man gets body part stuck in a weight at the gym

WORMS, Germany (FOX11) - Firefighters in Worms, Germany were called in to help free a man who got his body part stuck in the hole of a 2.5kg (5.5 pound) weight at a gym. With the help of a grinder and a hydraulic saw, they were able to break the weight into 5 parts, freeing the man's p3n1s.

On Friday, the Feuerwehr Worms Fire Department released a photo on Facebook, showing the dumbbell disc broken into 5 pieces after the 3-hour ordeal that took place in order to free the man.

The message in their Facebook post was very clear: "Bitte solche Aktionen nicht nachmachen!" which translates to "Please do not imitate such actions!"

Einsatzbericht: Kurioser Trainingsunfall - Hilfeleistung fürs Klinikum
Wie heikel so mancher Einsatz unserer Feuerwehr sein kann, zeigt eine Meldung der etwas anderen Art, die am heutigen Freitagmorgen, 15.09.2017, in der Leitstelle einging. Die Berufsfeuerwehr wurde zur Unterstützung ins Klinikum Worms gerufen. Eine Person hatte sich ein sehr sensibles Körperteil in dem Loch einer 2,5 kg-Hantelscheibe eingeklemmt. Mit Hilfe vom Trennschleifer, einer Vibrationssäge und einem hydraulischem Rettungsgerät konnte das Hantelgewicht nach drei Stunden entfernt werden.
Im Einsatz waren die Berufsfeuerwehr und ein Feuerwehrmann der freiwilligen Einheit Stadtmitte.
Bitte solche Aktionen nicht nachmachen!

Application report: Curious training accident - assistance for the clinic. How a few of our fire brigade's operations can be so delicate is shown by a message from the slightly different kind that took place in the control center today, Friday, 15.09.2017. The professional fire brigade was called to the hospital in Worms. One person had a very sensitive body part in the hole of a 2.5 kg dumbbell disc clamped. With the aid of the cutting grinder, a vibrating saw and a hydraulic rescue device, the weight could be removed after three hours. The fire brigade and a firefighter of the voluntary unit were the city center. Please do not imitate such actions!
