Most residents in Daytona Beach know to call All American Air Service Experts when their heating equipment starts making funny noises or leaking water, but did you know that funny smells are another cause to call a service technician? Learn about these heating system odors you should never ignore.
Rotten Eggs
The smell of rotten eggs is very pronounced, which is why several gas companies add this recognizable odor to their gas to notify homeowners and furnace experts that there is a problem. If you smell this stench coming from your furnace, shut off your gas appliances immediately as you could have a gas leak. Open your doors and windows so any gas can release outside, and call your furnace service technician as soon as possible and let them know you think you might have a gas leak.
Mold or Musty
Your heating and cooling system function together to keep you comfortable throughout the entire year. Since A/C systems can cause condensation to collect, moisture can form in your air duct system and create mold, producing the musty or moldy stench. If you turn on your furnace or air conditioner and smell an odor like this, call All American Air Service Experts. We’ll come over ASAP to analyze your duct system and do an indoor air quality analysis. We can then share with you suggestions on how to remove the source of the odor and make sure your HVAC system is ready to keep you toasty and healthy all winter long.
Electrical or Burning
There are many things that could be occurring if you smell an electrical or burning odor, all of which should grab your attention and should not be ignored. If you have this stench coming from your heating system, it’s probable something is overheating or may be a symptom of wiring problems. Turn off your heating equipment immediately and call your furnace professional to provide a thorough diagnosis.
