Rotten Eggs
The odor of rotten eggs is very pronounced, which is why multiple gas companies add this pronounced odor to their gas to warn homeowners and furnace experts that there is a problem. If you smell this odor coming from your heating system, power off your gas appliances straightaway as you may have a gas leak. Open your doors and windows so any gas can vent outside, and call your heating system service technician as soon as possible and be sure they know you think you may have a gas leak.
Mold or Musty
Your heating and cooling equipment work together to keep you comfy throughout the entire year.

We can then give you tips on how to eliminate the source of the stench and make sure your heating and cooling system is ready to keep you comfortable and healthy all winter long.
