Not guns but other stuff fb, what you have?

What kind of system? Model numbers?
Single wall won’t pass code anywhere around Lafayette. Coburns supply should have what you need.
The flap (back draft damper) on the drier vent cap isn’t closing very well. Hot from outside and cold from inside are mixing causing sweating. Your old drier door was better insulated.

Bleach, espically routinely using bleach will greatly reduce the life of the coils. Hot water out of the tap twice a year. If it gets clogged use a shop vac first, suck it out both ways then if still necessary blow it out.

I don’t know if you have a leak or not but I guarantee the majority of evaporation around South LA happens when we have strong north winds. That mostly happens in the winter here.
No matter how much air you push downstairs upstairs will always be hotter. Heat rises.

Whatever is being powered by the breaker has a dead short.
Local sheriff dept I guess.
Anywhere would be legal.
