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.
