HVAC Tips

Is Your HVAC Smoking? Here’s What to Do

Smoke coming from your heating or cooling system is never normal—and it’s a sign that something needs immediate attention. Ignoring it can lead to serious safety risks, including fire hazards and carbon monoxide exposure.

Here’s what you should do if you notice smoke from your HVAC unit.

1. Turn Off the System Immediately

For your safety, shut off your HVAC system right away. Use your thermostat or circuit breaker to power down the unit.

2. Check for Visible Signs

Look for smoke around the vents, furnace, or outdoor unit. Notice any burning smells or unusual noises.

3. Ventilate Your Home

Open windows and doors to clear out any smoke or fumes.

4. Call Aire Serv of Bel Air Right Away

Smoke can indicate electrical issues, overheating parts, or even a fire risk. Our licensed technicians will inspect your system safely and diagnose the problem.

5. Don’t Attempt Repairs Yourself

HVAC systems are complex and involve electrical and gas components. It’s important to leave repairs to trained professionals.
