Every time I turn on the heater, I feel a burning smell.Is this normal?

It is nothing to worry about, as I later found out… My Heating and Air Conditioning worker explained that the burning scents that should alarm me include burning electrical wires, rotten egg smell, plus metallic smells

I was anxious at first when I perceived a burning smell after using my furnace for the second time, and the first time after installation, everything was perfect plus new since it had been installed right before winter. I did not imagine going through the chilly season without some form of adequate heating; However, once the chilly months flew by, my furnace took a rest as the A/C kicked in to help with the hot season that soon followed. However, as things usually are, the chilly season was fast with us again, plus it was time to use the furnace again, however on lighting it, I perceived a burning smell plus hastily shut it off, thinking that I may have burned it with a combustible material trapped inside. I inspected, plus there was nothing to worry about. I hastily called my Heating and Air Conditioning worker since this was concerning plus worrisome. It turns out that it is normal to feel this smell every time you light a furnace after a long time. The dust particle has settled inside the furnace that first burns before it continues with its heating process. It is nothing to worry about, as I later found out… My Heating and Air Conditioning worker explained that the burning scents that should alarm me include burning electrical wires, rotten egg smell, plus metallic smells. These may indicate a harsh issue that needs to be addressed hastily. Other than that, a dust-burning smell that goes away in a few minutes should never worry you. It helps to understand what different smells mean to avoid panicking unnecessarily.
