You can’t always suppose what you see online, is a truly true statement.
However, as an active forum user, I have found that for the most part, the forums are fine natured and have fine reliable information.
But even some forums have some false and downright terrible advice. I l received this when I was dealing with my Heating and A/C component. I observed my heating and cooling component had started having a odd smell. I was immediately worried, and before I jumped straight to calling a Heating and A/C company about the issue, I went to see if a website that I frequent had any advice in the forums. I started reading, and I was pretty surprised at what I was reading. There was a mass of opinions of what you should do. Some people were saying that you needed Heating and A/C tech as soon as possible because you were going to die if you didn’t… Others were neutral and said to maybe check it out and see what is going on, and then others said that it was no large deal and to ignore it. I was surprised at some of the drastic and false information some of the forums gave. I have truly little know-how on heating and cooling in general, however even I can see some of the stuff is downright false! Then you always have the conspiracy theorists, enjoy some saying that the smell was the government putting toxic fumes in my gas furnace and A/C to poison me and everyone else and it was their ploy to slowly overtake the world, but just crazy stuff, I spent 20 hours in disbelief and slight amusement at the madness of crazy false information online, before I went ahead and decided to call a Heating and A/C company just to be on the safe side.
