Your statements are confusing ...I have this weird smell from my furnace. It is not gas smells electrical(ozone?) sort of like when an electrical circuit burns. Furnace is 25 years old. Its definitely not gas any ideas?? The furnace works as normal otherwise.
Quick question, if it is the heating elements could this be done in a month if they cannot get it done by Tuesday. We were scheduled to be away for the month of February. The house will be empty concerned furnace will quit and pipes freezing or fire possibly.Have the heating elements checked. They could be starting to burn in two from being 25 years old.
My thoughts exactly, every home with fossil fuels should have a CO detector.If it is a natural gas furnace, please verify your Carbon Monoxide detectors are functioning properly. A hairline crack in the heat exchanger is not uncommon in a 25 year old furnace. While CO is undetectable to the human senses, trace amounts of combustible gasses could be leaking through a compromised heat exchanger into the ductwork. Combustible gasses can have a unique odor that is not unlike burnt electrical, metallic/ozone compounds.
