    Burning smell from Evon electric forced air heater
    This morning I awaken at 5 am to a burning smell throughout the house. Seems to be coming from the heating unit.
    The filter was very dirty. Hasn't been changed in months. Could this be the problem? Should I turn it back on and see if the smell is gone now that I took the filter off?
