Dirty Sock Syndrome-Is there a solution?
 

I have lived for 2 years in a new home equipped with a heat pump. We
have discovered that we are experiencing dirty sock syndrome in the
heating season. Is there any solution to this? The heat pump is a
Lennox. Has this problem been brought on by a design flaw of the
unit? I still have a long extended warranty. Will the manufacturer
replace the coil that is causing the problem? Any advice will be
appreciated.

I had to look it up, too. It is bacteria forming on the A-Frame
for the A/C unit inside the furnace or air handler. It is
most often caused by too high of humidity. It can be prevented
by using a U/V air purifier in the furnace. Once the bacteria
starts, it is very hard to clean. There is a new kind of A-frame
that is coated to protect against this, but low bid contractors
rarely put them in.
