That smell when you turn on the furnace for the first time? No need to automatically panic. But don't automatically just ignore it, either.
A brief dusty or slightly burnt smell can happen when dust that settled during the off-season burns off. However, a persistent, unusual, or fuel-like odor is a different story. In that case, turn your system off and have it checked by a qualified professional before depending on it this winter.
When it comes to your furnace, knowing what's normal—and what's not—is important. And Carroll’s team is here to help! Give us a call or book online.
