The next problem of the day was finally getting the AC company out to hear the complaint I had on the very first day of our new ducts.
There is insufficient flow into the main bedroom.
It needs more flow than the rest of the house because it takes a direct hit from the sun from an hour past local noon to sunset. The Eastern faces have trees so that side of the house doesn't need near so much flow.
They're taking the position that they explained to me things that they never mentioned.
Harvey was there too, and she corroborates my recollection.
On the plus side, they did give me a tip that we had the vents set all wrong.
I admit that it's better with the vents angled correctly.
The big problem, at least as far as the kittens are concerned, is the bedroom door MUST remain open during the day.
That means that Shadow and Beeper must finally settle their differences.
The door has been open since before noon and Beeper hasn't even stirred from under the bed and Shadow has wandered in a couple of times without a fight starting.
Fingers crossed!
Hire someone to add an additional return vent to your BR. It can be the flex pipe which is cheaper and easy to hang. This will balance the temp. because it will pull hot air out. This why they said leave the door open. Good Luck, Texx.
ReplyDeleteThe thing that pisses me off about it was the shitty old ducts pushed enough air into the bedroom that it was fine with the door closed. The *NEW!* *IMPROVED* ducts don't.
DeleteAll I wanted was the old duct work done sealed up and not leaking. What I got was whiz bang all modern and doesn't fucking work right.
I'm well on my way to Luddism.
And I am EXCEPTIONALLY pissed off that they did not mention it even ONCE that we'd want a new uptake from the bedroom when they were doing this.
DeleteNope, gotta wait and upsell me later.
I'll hire a whole different company to do it now.
