The Strange Smells of Fall: Detecting a Malfunctioning Heater

Monday, September 23rd, 2024

One of the easiest ways to tell if your heating system is on the fritz is with your nose. That’s right, as the old adage says, the nose always goes. Your nose is a powerful tool that can detect even a minor amount of dangerous particles in the air, from cooking smoke to leaking gas.

While there are some important things your nose can’t pick up, like carbon monoxide (which we’ll talk about later), you should rely on your nose to tell you when something is wrong and schedule an appointment with our team for HVAC repair in Grapevine, TX.

Don’t worry, the price of this work should be secondary when the result is a safer home for you and your family. Safety always comes first, so make sure you tell us about the strange odors you’re detecting.
