So we had to get our gas meter changed today and he said he smelled something funny from our air conditioner....he said we need to call a repair man..which we haven't yet, haven't been home long..But does anyone knwo what the smell could be..We have been running it, it winter here in TN though pass few days were wonderful (besides wed) love this tornado season...LOL JK...
Is it something serious, I cant think of anything it could be....I havent smelled anything in the house that has been usual...any feed back would be grateful.Thanks
Was it the outdoor unit?? Maybe a dead animal inside it? Condensor fan motor or another component going bad could have kind of a burning funky sort of smell.
If the meter man smelled it, it was probaly outside at the compressor. Go outside and smell around. It may be the motor, or coolant leaking, or an animal. Check outside. If you smell it call the service man. Let them find out what the smell could be.
Its outside...
Last time we cleaned it...we only have had the house an year. soo the plp before us probably never cleaned it. Thanks guys....We are calling the service people 2morrow.
Hopefully it doesn't have a acidic smell. It's unmistakable if it's acidic refrigerant. That and a bad fan motor or burnt up electronics is all I can think of besides what's already been mentioned.
