HAVE YOU EVER SMELLED YOUR FURNACE?
We are all familiar with the burning dust smell furnaces make when they are turned on for the first time in several months. However, if you are smelling something that does not go away after a few minutes, your furnace likely needs to be serviced.Â
Here are some common furnace smells and what they mean:
Furnace Smells Musty
A mildew smell may mean that fungi are growing in an area of moisture buildup. Your furnace or ductwork may need to be cleaned.
The furnace Smells Like Burning Plastic
This could potentially be a serious problem with a cracked heat exchanger or an overheated motor - turn off your furnace and call for service as soon as possible.
Furnace Smells Like Rotten Eggs
A sulphur smell means you have a natural gas leak. Immediately turn off your furnace, move to an area of fresh air, and call your local gas company.
