I called ARS Rescue Rooter to take the filter back. So far, there is no one at the company able to help me. The managers and staff speak to me once and I never hear from them again. I've written the BBB and have received no response.

I cannot heat my home without these fumes, I have no money to call anyone else in to fix the problem, and I either freezing because the house is so cold, or suffocating from the fumes.

On the plus side, I haven't seen any spiders since the furnace began malfunctioning, so I'm assuming that the furnace/filter emmisions are able to kill any bugs that wander in.
