That first time you turn the heat on after it's been sitting off for months can come with a little dusty smell. In many cases, that's just dust burning off and it should clear up pretty quickly.
But if you notice a strong or persistent burning smell, turn the system off and don't ignore it. It's always better to play it safe and have it checked.
So before you blame whoever's cooking dinner, check the thermostat first. ๐๐ฅ
