90% of house dust is human skin...

Chris, I completely agree that I'm sure some of your breathing problems were aggravated by that thing. Regarding the suggestion to not use the more expensive air filters and instead use the cheap ones, I disagree. There's NO WAY the cheap filter is going to catch the same amount of crap in the air if you use a thin, cheap filter.

We're currently using a filter with a density of 1085 at our home, and even at every two months, the buildup on the filter is VERY obvious. The only way using the cheap filters would come anywhere close to properly filtering the air is if there was a way to ensure ALL the house air was recirculated repeatedly and often through the thin filter - giving the filter MANY opportunities to catch the crap floating around in the air. Otherwise it just gets blown out in all the rooms and settles as dust & dirt to be wiped or vacuumed up.

I think you should bring this up to the previous HVAC people you had come out and ask them what they are going to do to make it right, since you OBVIOUSLY wasted your money on their services. See how much they like bad BBB references and winding up in small claims.

Yuck.

I would go after the $%$#^T$ bastards that you paid for the job and then didn't do it.

I've had it up to here with service companies who cut corners, even when you're paying for the service...

With Kimberly's health problems, if they pulled that shiite at our house, I'd have the previous companies in court (of course, this is based on MY current workload and free time - if I couldn't hire someone at a decent rate).

Unfortunately, there are times and circumstances which it's best to taker your losses and go on with your lives - and those sometimes sting, 'cause you'll ALWAYS wonder..........

At the very least, creatively use the object in question to exact a little payback.

document yourself putting it back in the a/c then call them back out and make sure you record the entire process of them not cleaning things out... hidden cameras would work nicely...

maybe the state fraud investigators would like a copy of the tapes?

I'd fill the insides of their work trucks with fill dirt, but hey - that's just me.

I bet that hairball could make one strong pot of coffee

Nail it to their front door with a note saying "You missed this stuff twice kthxbye" or something similar.
