Walked into HD to try to find some hoses, ended up getting a duct cleaning service. Not sure if it's a scam but $323 for duct cleaning on 14 vents, dryer vent cleaning (I try to make sure I remove any excess but there was a shit ton in there that was stuck), and furnace cleaning.

Probably a scam, but I'm treating it like fresh fluids when you buy a used car.

I was hoping (not with very high hopes) that the duct cleaning would solve my furnace overheating issues. But it didn't. I'm trying to tackle all the easy shit either myself or with someone else before calling an HVAC guy. I may... attempt to switch out the limit switch, but probably not cause it's hidden far away behind a bunch of shit. They really don't make these things easily serviceable.

Funny thing, I was switching out the flame sensor with just feel. My dad was like so it's like working on a car right? I'm like yep. Can't see shit, just gotta guess and feel.
