You should first schedule a tune-up with a qualified technician. They will clean and check each component, including the filter, coil, and fan motor. Additionally, they will adjust the unit’s settings to ensure it operates at peak performance during the colder months.
You can also help prepare your HVAC system for winter by sealing leaks around doors and windows with caulk or weatherstripping. Install insulation in the attic and basement. Keep all vents and registers clear of obstructions so the heat can circulate freely throughout your home. And lastly, set your thermostat to the correct temperature for heating and cooling.
There are a few potential causes of strange furnace smells, but the most common ones are a dirty filter and a problem with the heat exchanger. If your furnace is old, the metal in the heat exchanger has likely corroded and is causing fumes to escape. This can be dangerous, so you’ll want to have a professional inspect it as soon as possible.
Another possibility is that something is caught in the filter and is burning, which will create an intense smell. If this is the case, you can usually clean the filter yourself, but make sure to shut off your furnace first so you don’t start a fire.
Analog thermostats are the traditional type that uses a mercury bulb to sense temperature. They’re generally less accurate than digital thermostats and can be more difficult to use.
Digital thermostats, on the other hand, are much more accurate and easy to use. They rely on a sensing element to measure temperature, which can be more precise. They often have features that analog thermostats don’t, such as the ability to program different temperatures for different times of the day.

Davey was friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable.
On arrival the filters were checked and the blower cabinet of the furnaces it appeared to look normal. The capacitors were checked and measured with manufacture rating main blower capacitor was at 10.1 out of ten and the other was at 9.8 both were within the manufacture rating. Then ran the system in cooling made and checked the circuit breaker connections and made them tight. Then began checking the pressures and temperatures at the condenser and the readings showed the system is sufficiently charged with refrigerant delta t was with 17-22 degrees. Then began checking amp readings at the compressor the herm measured at 4.8 the Terminal 1 measured at 15.5 amps and the terminal 2 measured at 15.5 amps. Then checked the condenser fan motor amp reading measured at 0.5. Then checked the other unit amp readings at the compressor the herm measured at 5.3 the Terminal 1 measured at 12.5 amps and the terminal 2 measured at 11.4 amps. Then checked the condenser fan motor amp reading measured at
Upon arrival to unit, I turned off disconnect and began my service. I started by removing condenser fan motor assembly from unit and removed all leaves, dirt, and debris from bottom of unit using a vacuum and blower. Next I completely cleaned interior, exterior, and coil of unit with coil cleaner and a pressurized garden hose. Once unit was all cleaned and buttoned back up I was ready to test electrical. Capacitor was rated for 45/10MFD +/-5% tolerance. Capacitor’s actual readings were 45.43/10.05MFD which was normal and within manufactures tolerance. Afterwards I tested amp draws on compressor and condenser fan motor. Compressors amp draws were reading 8.12amps, condenser fan motor amp draws were reading 1.01amps which are both normal and within tolerance. Temperatures at return were 62.7°F, temperatures at supply were 41.5 giving a temperature split of 21.2°F which is normal. I noticed customer did not have a hard start kit installed, I highly recommended installing one to lower star
Call for poor cooling. Arrived and was informed by tenant that over the few years that he has lived in this location, he had to run the A/C 27/7 just to keep the house close to 70° with many times the A/C would freeze over. Thermostat is old and technician had to jiggle it to get the Air Conditioning to start up. While A/C was running, attached the gauges to the system and observed operation while taking temperatures and measurements. Taking into consideration of outdoor and indoor temperatures, it appears that the A/C is low on refrigerant which may also be a sign of a possible refrigerant leak. Considering age of equipment, first recommendation is to have the system replaced. Next recommendation is to have a leak search conducted followed by repair if needed then charge the system with additional refrigerant. Last option would be to top the system off and add a leak sealant into the system as a precaution.
