Expert: Howard Livingston - 5/26/2009

Question
HOWARD---THIS IS NOT A QUESTION BUT THIS SAME SMELL HAPPENED TO US WHEN WE GOT OUR NEW HEAT PUMP AND YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW MUCH TROUBLE WE HAD TRYING TO FIND AN ANWSER.
THE CO. SAID IT WAS OUR DUCT WORK,WHICH THEY REMOVED AT OUR COST-- STILL THE SMELL--THEN THEY SAID IT WAS OUR HUMIDIFER-- RIPPED IT OUT---STILL THE SMELL. WHEN I COMPLAINED AND STARTED TALKING LEGAL AND HEALTH PROBLEMS I
STARTED GETTING HELP!!! THEY TOOK OUT THE BRAND NEW HEAT PUMP AND REPLACED IT WITH A NEW ONE!!! NO MORE SMELL!!!
SOMETHING ABOUT THE COATING ON THE FINS--- WHATEVER THAT MEANS WHAT A MESS, EXPENSE AND NERVE RACKING ORDEAL!!!
THEY CALLED IT THE " DIRTY SOX SYNDROME"
    HOPE THIS WII HELP THE "ROTTEN EGG" PROBLEM

Answer
Are you the one that reported the smell a few days ago ??? I had another question about that & don't recall who it was from. Gosh, I got to remember where the smell is from. What the h--- are they putting on the fins ??   Thanks a million for your input.
