Why Does My Furnace Smell?

If your furnace is emitting an unusual smell, you shouldn’t ignore it. A smell coming from your furnace may mean that there’s something wrong that could compromise your safety. As soon as you notice something off, be sure to turn off your furnace and call Ponderosa Heating & Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical for service. We’ll be there promptly to help you with a solution.

Common furnace smells include:

• Burning metal / electrical burning smell – your furnace is overheating and should be shut off immediately. Left untended, your furnace could start a fire in your home.
• Burning plastic smell – a plastic component may have fallen onto a hot surface and begun to burn. This is a sign of deterioration and your furnace should be inspected and serviced.
• Sulfur / natural gas smell – if you have a gas furnace, this may indicate a toxic gas leak. Immediately shut off the furnace, move outside to fresh air, and call your local gas company and your furnace repair company.
• Burning hair smell – this is a normal smell that can occur after turning on your furnace for the first time of the season. This smell should dissipate fairly quickly and isn’t a cause for alarm.
