I am a homeowner and we're just finishing up a pretty extensive home remodel project, including hardwood floor refinishing and painting throughout the house, plus a brand new forced air system which replaced the original gravity system from 1916.
Now, as things are winding down, the general contractor wants to run our new heating system at night to help dry the paint and floor sealants. The heating contractor (whom we selected ourselves, apart from the General) is telling us NO -- don't use the new forced air system for that, it's not good for the system, compounds and dust will get into the new furnace and it'll screw it up and void the warranty...
The General is saying it's no big deal, we do this all the time, standard procedure, won't harm a thing, etc.
Whom should we believe? We're not very experienced at this stuff (that's why we hire pros to do it) but now we have the two sides telling us essentially opposite things.
Any help would be appreciated.
