Id suggest someone strip you down to your birthday suit, give you a
good chemical cleaning with muratic acid followed by a caustic
solution paste bath and then a good belt sanding with 80 grit paper.
Maybe, just MAYBE THEN you'd shut the fuck up.

Good advice. Is this a good chance to get evaporator cleaned? I guess they
have to remove the furnace to access it.
Think I better ask them to look at the outdoor unit next summer.
