Ever notice a dusty smell the first time you turn on the heat? 🔥👃
After sitting unused for months, a small amount of dust can settle on components inside your heating system. When the heat comes on for the first time, that dust can warm up and create a temporary burning or dusty smell.
A mild odor that disappears fairly quickly can be normal. But a strong electrical, plastic or persistent burning smell deserves attention.
If something doesn't smell right, don't ignore it. Turn the system off and give Solace a call.
