Homes are supposed to be the place you feel most at ease, but it’s pretty hard to relax and unwind when there’s an odor coming from your air conditioning unit! From car exhaust to mildew, to burning, any smell coming from your air conditioner is concerning.
Don’t worry though, because Blanco AC, Electrical & Plumbing has the solutions you need! Instead of suffering through a foul-smelling unit, we’ll help you fix it up.
Why Does My AC Smell?
There is a range of issues that may cause your AC to emit surprising odors. While some of these problems have at-home solutions, some are more complicated. For that reason, we recommend having a trusted HVAC company on call.
The Unit Needs Cleaning
The easiest solution for a foul, earthy smell is to clean out your air conditioner. By cleaning the filters, evaporator coils and other parts of your unit, you may eradicate the smell. Remember, you’ll need to clean both the outdoor and indoor units!
If this clears up your odor issues, you may need to improve your AC cleaning habits. Changing the filter every 1-2 months and cleaning the system 1-2 times a year will improve your unit’s lifespan and performance.
The Unit Is Broken
Burning smells usually point to a problem in the kitchen, but what if the smell is coming from your air conditioning system? Well, you may have a broken unit.
If you have a burning smell coming from the air conditioner, you can try turning the system off for a day and turning it back on. If this resolves the problem, you’re probably fine (but call an HVAC technician to make sure!). However, if this doesn’t get rid of the smell, there’s a bigger problem.
You may have a damaged component or faulty wiring inside of your air conditioner. In this case, it’s time to call the professionals. A reliable HVAC company will help you get your unit up and running in no time!
There’s A Leak
Exhaust fumes are always concerning, but why would they come from your AC? Well, your cooling unit may have some kind of leak. The unit uses refrigerant to cool the air, but this fluid can smell an awful lot like exhaust if it leaks. When dealing with this issue, it’s best to call the professionals.
A Pest In The Vents
Sometimes unwelcome visitors will wiggle their way into your ductwork or vents. If this animal leaves waste or perhaps dies in the vents, you’ll definitely notice an odor. If you think that there’s an animal in your vents, turn off the unit and call an HVAC service immediately.
The scent of garbage or rotting will come from your air system if you’re dealing with a pest. Here, you’ll need an HVAC technician and possibly a pest removal service.
