    Electric burning smell from furnace
    My furnace has a electric burning smell, Doesn't matter if the ac is on or heater. I turned on just the fan and still get the smell. Could this be the blower moter going out? Or something else? Is there any way to test this or do I just have to bite the bullet and pay a expert to come and trouble shoot it?

    Thank you

    It could be the motor going out. When you smell something like that I would not fool around. Get someone that knows what they are doing to look at the furnace. There are many possibilities.
