Random electrical burning smell?
Hi everyone,
Hanging out at the house, cats playing in the hallway. One of them knocks over a random house fan we have to air out our bathroom. As I go over to pick it up, I get a quick whiff of an electrical/melting plastic smell in the hallway under our attic access to our AC components and in between all the bedrooms.
Didn’t linger; no noticeable smoke; nothing that I could trace to a certain bedroom. No fishy/rubber odor.
But my brother and sister both said they noticed the smell occasionally in their respective rooms.
Our AC has been running basically constantly the last month, it’s the only thing I could think of that is a constant factor among all 3 areas where it was noticed.
House is 26 yrs old, original wiring; don’t think there has been an inspection since build.
Our AC tech company won’t be able to come out til September, but I want to book specifically with an electrician if possible to check things out.
I am very, very paranoid of a house fire. Are we in immediate danger? Or will we be okay for now until we can get someone to come out?
Thank you
