Why Does Your Air Conditioner Smell When You Turn It On?

The weather is cooling down in Abilene and we’ll more than likely be reducing the use of our air conditioners. This season we get a lot of air conditioner repair calls from homeowners declaring that they smell something when their air conditioner turns on for the first time in a while. It’s likely that your air conditioner hasn’t been operating for a little while. In that time, dust may have accumulated inside your system. The first time you start your air conditioner, that dust will get cleaned out. The smell from this will travel through your ducts throughout your house. This doesn’t usually establish any sort of hazard and the smell will normally go away after a while. However, if the smell does not decrease after a bit, please notify one of our experts.

Another reason you could be smelling an odor from your air conditioner is that your air filter may have become obstructed. This can cause your blower motor to get overused and could cause the motor, and/or the air conditioner to overheat.

Your air conditioner is going to be an crucial part of your life even during these coming months. If you haven’t yet scheduled your regular air conditioner repair, now is the occasion. Our pros will be sure your system is running smoothly and clean the internal components before you have to be concerned about a burning odor.
