Noticed a dusty burning smell when turning on your furnace for the first time this season?
⠀
This is actually quite common!
⠀
During the warmer months, dust can settle on your furnace's heating components. When you turn the heat back on, that dust warms up and can create a temporary burning smell.
⠀
The good news? This mild, dusty smell usually fades as your furnace runs.
⠀
If the smell is strong, unusual, or doesn't go away, turn off your furnace and have a professional take a look.
