The temperatures are dropping here in Muldrow and that means soon we’ll be depending on the comfort of our furnaces. This is usually the time we receive several furnace repair calls from our patrons concerned about a weird smell coming from their furnace. If it’s been awhile since you’ve turned on your furnace and you smell something strange, stay calm. There’s typically nothing to worry about and there are several reasons your furnace could smell strange.
Last winter was most likely the last time you’ve had to run your furnace. During the year, dust may have gathered inside of your furnace. Starting up your furnace for the first time will burn that off, creating a smell. This smell will move through your home throughout your duct work. This generally isn’t a harmful circumstance and the odor will not last long. But, if the smell doesn’t go away in a short while, you’ll have to call in a technician to inspect your system.
Another possible cause of interesting smells coming from your furnace is a clogged air filter. A clogged filter will cause your blower motor to run harder which could cause the motor and/or your furnace to overheat.
