Attention Homeowners: Three
Devastating Results of
Neglecting One Annual Task
◦ Cosmetic Irritation
◦ While there are scents that can originate with your furnace, there is plenty
of cause for the benign odour to permeate the residence. For example,
an oily smell could indicate the need for a new filter or a clog somewhere
else within the system. Another being a wet or “musty” smell, which could
point toward a more irritating, yet completely vindicated cause by normal
“wear and tear.” Routine maintenance checks can catch these issues
before you need to invest in neutralizing odour spray for your home.
Luckily, this side effect is more of a nuisance than an emergency.
◦ Signals of Present Danger
◦ But as dreadful as it is to consider, there are also more formidable smells
that can infiltrate the home as well, because of neglect. The first that
comes to mind as the poster child for red flags is the rotten egg odour. This
could signify a much more significant issue than standing water, such as a
gas leak.
