Have you ever turned on your heat and noticed a strange smell?

As temperatures drop here in East Tennessee, it's a question we hear from homeowners. The good news? Not every unusual smell means something is wrong!

Here's how to tell the difference.
✅ WHAT'S NORMAL?

A mild, dusty or slightly burning smell when you first turn on your heat for the season is fairly common. Dust can settle on heating components during the warmer months. When your system starts heating again, that dust may burn off, creating a temporary smell.

This should typically fade within a short time.

⚠️ WHEN SHOULD YOU CALL SOMEONE?

Pay attention if you notice:
• A burning plastic or electrical smell
• A strong smell that doesn't go away
• Smoke coming from your vents or heating equipment
• Unusual noises or a system that isn't heating properly

If you notice these warning signs, turn off your heating system and have a professional inspect it. If there's smoke or a suspected fire, leave the home and call 911.

IMPORTANT: If you smell rotten eggs and suspect a natural gas leak, leave your home immediately and contact your gas provider or 911 from a safe location.

At Giles Heating & Air, we want our neighbors to know what's normal and when something needs attention. A little knowledge can go a long way toward keeping your family safe and comfortable this winter!

🌡️🔥 Is 68°F really the best thermostat setting?

As the weather cools down here in East Tennessee, we know everyone wants to stay comfortable without watching their heating bill climb! 🍂

🏡 Did you know? The U.S. Department of Energy recommends around 68–70°F while you're home and awake during colder weather to help manage energy costs.

💡 Giles Tip: Every home is different! Here are a few things to remember:

✅ Adjust your thermostat to what keeps your family comfortable.
✅ Lowering the temperature while sleeping or away can help save energy.
✅ Have a heat pump? Avoid large temperature changes that could activate your backup heat and increase energy costs.

🔥 Turning your heat on for the first time this season? Don’t forget this important safety check!

As cooler mornings start making their way into East Tennessee, many of us will be turning on the heat for the first time in months. If you have fuel-burning appliances in your home, now is the perfect time to test your carbon monoxide alarms, too.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is colorless and odorless — you can’t see it or smell it. A working CO alarm is an important line of defense.

🏠 Before heating season gets underway:
🔋 Test your CO alarms and replace batteries if needed.
🔥 Turn your heat on now and make sure everything seems to be operating properly.
🚨 If a CO alarm sounds, get everyone outside to fresh air and call 911.

Want to learn more about carbon monoxide safety? The CDC has some great information here:

This one was built to last! 👏

This GE system had been keeping this home comfortable since the late 1970s — nearly 50 years of service — and it was still running when it was finally time for an upgrade.

Our team replaced the original equipment with a new, more efficient system that’s ready to keep this home comfortable for years to come.

There’s something pretty cool about seeing equipment from the ’70s still doing its job! 💪
