Mike Lamb Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I found these in the fan compartment of a Goodman furnace. It may be why the house had 5 or 6 cats. It was also the most pet filthy, foulest smelling occupied home I have ever inspected. Click to Enlarge 100.34 KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Raymond Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I had rats once. They didn't stay too long in my boiler, but they sure did like the refractory insulation. Little bastards took the blanket out from under the burners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erby Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 What did the coils look like. Covered with cat hair, I'd bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHI in AR Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Looks like they couldn't run fast enough to stay on that exercise wheel in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lamb Posted May 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 What did the coils look like. Covered with cat hair, I'd bet. The sellers said they were having trouble with their air-conditioning if that is a hint. I did not look at the AC coils. They had two furnaces and both had collapsed cat hair clogged filters that were sucked into the fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Amaral Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 I once opened a 'bin' over a water service area in a cellar in the North End of Boston.. 10-12 rats split through the foundation and the stench of rat urine almost made me chuck-it right there.. dang... Nothing like BOSTON HARBAH rats...Golly.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erby Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 When I can't see the coils, I get a picture of the blower fan blades to see if they're crud covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
