they just added the inline over the summer but had no idea it would do that because they just started running heat

Sucking too much air? From what the room? Did he connect the inline to the furnace somehow? kinda having a hard time understanding that. So the inline is an outvent, why dont he buy a cheap $20 inline online and make an invent to go with the out. That way bad air out new fresh air in.

lol my ramblings are contagious i see grorite lol. Could your friend get a intake fan, smaller than the exhaust so stale air doesnt hang around to long, thatd mean a constant supply of fresh air as thats what i think he is lacking. Peace as always brother.

he can still have more negative than passive, just sounds like all the air is getting taken away from the furnace, maybe have intake fan right next to furnace as itl keep the furnace working and wont change shit to the grow.

You're saying what you (he) was told, is that the furnace shuts off because of too much air?????? LOL
I hope he didn't pay the HVAC guy for that diagnosis!

hey chuck, i think its because to much air is being sucked out meaning the furnace has no air to burn.

OK, that makes sense then........... TY
However, that would mean there's not enough oxygen in the room for flame?
Maybe we are confused/ confusing ourselves, because the diagnosis was vague.
First, 'the furnace stops working', then 'the furnace can't suck air'.
If it can't suck air, I would tend to think the returns may be plugged, and if so, might cause a sensor to shut it down altogether, but to say 'it stops working', we don't know if it's the motor (fan), or the unit shuts down completely, meaning, which happens first.

DUDE, lots of variables, and possibilities, and we all don't have sufficient facts to give you good accurate answers.
We're trying, but you know, you gotta help us too.
