• Burnt Dust

When this furnace smell occurs, its often just
the dust that has built up on your furnace
getting heated up by the heat kicking on.

• Metallic of Plastic Smells

These furnace smells can be a little harder to

furnace typically indicates that something has
gone wrong and components are overheating.

• Rotten Eggs

If your furnace smells like rotten eggs, it means
there is a gas leak in your furnace. This is very

• Mildew Smells

Mildew smells are another furnace smell that

furnace. This happens because when moisture
builds up, it can lead to the growth of mold and
mildew.
