Questions people ask before calling

What do smells from vents mean?

Musty usually means moisture in the ducts or drain line; burning can be dust on the heater or an electrical issue. Don't ignore burning smells — call.

Could it be mold?

Possibly. Musty odors plus moisture are the classic combo. A tech can inspect the coil and drain pan.

How do I prevent it?

Regular filter changes, keeping the drain line clear, and annual service go a long way.

Is it dangerous?

Burning or electrical smells warrant a quick call. Musty smells are usually a health nuisance — still worth fixing.
