Burning odor Austin
The fall season is at hand in Texas and cooler temperatures are returning. Because of this, homeowners across the state are starting to think about switching their home heating and cooling system from air conditioning to heating. As cold fronts line up ahead of winter, people are testing their HVAC systems so they are prepared to keep their families warm. One thing many experience each year when they first turn on the heat is a burning smell. Read on to find out more about that burning smell and how to address it.
It is important for you to be able to rely on your heating system in Texas as colder weather arrives. But after it has sat dormant for so many months, an unpleasant burning odor can be a side effect of turning on your heater for the first time. A burning odor coming from a heater is a common occurrence and is normally not cause for worry because generally it is the smell of accumulated dust burning off the system components. Fortunately, this odor dissipates fairly quickly after the heat has been running for a few minutes.
If you are concerned that the burning odor from your home heating system is not the common version that tends to happen every year, but rather smells like burning plastic or rubber, you definitely need to take action. You should also address the situation if the burning odor persists for longer than a few minutes, or if you smell smoke. Contact a professional HVAC maintenance company and request a visit from a trained technician who will be able to evaluate the issue and recommend a corrective course of action.
How can you prevent the burning smell in the first place when you turn on your heat for the first time this year? The first step in avoiding the odor is simply to make sure you have scheduled a professional HVAC maintenance check-up appointment before you have to turn on your heat. Your professional HVAC technician will provide a system tune-up that includes a thorough cleaning and inspection. The cleaning of any excess dust and debris that has settled within the system will keep the burning odor at bay; and the inspection will ensure each component of your heating system is in good working order, so your home will be heated effectively and efficiently.
