Step 2: Walk through the house and see if you can determine where the smell remains. If the smell is totally gone with the AC off, you may want to call your local technician to come and check out your HVAC system.
Step 3: Try unplugging appliances and turning the lights off to better pinpoint from which electrical source the odor may be coming from.
Step 4: When in doubt, call for help! If you are not sure where the smell is coming from, you are best off calling in an electrician or HVAC technician. Electrical problems pose a major threat to your safety and it’s not worth waiting to see if the smell goes away on its own.
