    Troubleshoot house airborne odor in air/heating unit
    When the air conditioner or heating unit is on, there is a terrible odor that seems to be airborne. It is clingy to your clothing and hair. We have cleaned all the air ducts, painted the entire house with Kiltz, cleaned the house with Odorban. We had an air quality test and relatively low readings. What is this smell?
