There are things that can be wrong that will cause unwanted odors. When it is hot outside the last thing you want is your AC unit to not be working properly. If there is an issue with your unit one of the ways that you can recognize that is with the smells that you might notice. There are some odors that you might start to smell that mean you need to have your air conditioning unit inspected and repaired for safety. Air Supply Heating & Air Conditioning outlines what odor you might smell from your AC unit and what they mean.

Air Conditioner Smells Like Exhaust

When it comes to your air conditioning unit you should not have any odors that come out when it is running. If there are any odors at all it means that there is an issue that should be addressed. The smell that you might get is an exhaust odor that you can get when the unit is running. Most systems are run on electricity and that means you should not smell exhaust at all. When you do have exhaust the most common cause is from fluids that are in the engine that are leaking out. The leaking fluids will create the smell of exhaust and it can leak in the home making your family feel ill. You want to make sure that you call out a professional to come out and make the necessary repairs.

Central Air Conditioner Smells Musty

Another smell that you might start to notice in your home will be similar to smelly feet or musty odor. These are usually do to the unit not being able to get rid of the moisture that is collecting around the unit. There is a condensation line that should be clean and clear and expel the water and the moisture. If it becomes clogged the moisture can build up and this will cause the musty smell to start to come out. It is best to have your condensation lines cleaned so that you don’t have this bad odors in your house.

AC Smells like Something is Burning

If you are running your air conditioning unit and you start to smell an electrical burning smell it can be very problematic. There are electrical components that are in the unit that need to be in good working condition. When the motor or board starts to have an issue it can cause this smell that is like electrical burns. This can be dangerous and when it happens you want to stop using the unit and have a professional out to repair the motor.
