What’s That Smell Coming From Your AC Vents?

It does not matter if your air conditioning or central heating is running or not; any unpleasant smells you detect coming from the air wafting out of the vents is a sign of bad to things to come. Most likely, something has already gone wrong, which is causing the foul smell. Some of these odors are typical. Musty, burning, or acrid odors are all common. Other times the odors are uncommon. Feet, skunk, and gunpowder are all odors that could come from the air circulating through your vents.

Often, people are thrown off by these odd odors, so we are going to identify the cause and the solution to getting these smells out, so you can wake up and smell the coffee again. For the repairs you may need, call skilled technicians, like the ones at All Temp. Our experience permits us to provide you exceptional service for your air conditioning in Kissimmee.

  • A Skunk? There is a slight chance a skunk found its way into your air conditioning vent in Kissimmee, but that is probably not the cause of that smell of skunk that is coming out of your vent. Gas may be leaking from somewhere, a gas containing methyl mercaptan, which smells too much like skunk spray for anyone to be comfortable with it lingering throughout their home. Plus, this gas is dangerous, meaning upon detecting its odor, you should gather up your family and evacuate as soon as possible. Call an air conditioning Kissimmee technician, and let them handle the situation.
  • It Smells Like Feet. Air conditioners that are dirty and clogged can emit rank odors similar to the smell of stinky feet. Stagnant water that has had time to collect in the system without being properly drained could be the cause. By simply calling a Kissimmee air conditioning professional, that issue could be handled.
  • Gunpowder Control. If a gunpowder smell is coming out your AC vents, something is wrong. When the air conditioner cycles on, a shorted out fan motor or circuit board could cause a gunpowder smell to emit from supply registers.

Everyone wants their home smelling fresh, and, of course, nobody wants their AC to fail on them during the uncomfortably hot Kissimmee summer. Having repair professionals that know what they are doing will solve all your AC problems.
