A burning plastic smell can be caused by dust buildup burning off after a long period of inactivity or a foreign object trapped inside the system. If the smell persists or is accompanied by smoke, turn off your heater immediately and call Good Dudes Heating & Cooling to have a technician inspect it safely.
Modern furnaces are designed with multiple safety mechanisms to prevent fire or explosion. While the risk is very low, issues like gas leaks, electrical faults, or poor maintenance can create hazards. If you ever smell gas or notice unusual noises, turn off your furnace and contact us right away for emergency service.
A sour or vinegar-like smell often means there’s bacteria or mold growing inside your AC system or condensate line. Cleaning and disinfecting your system can eliminate the odor. The Good Dudes team offers maintenance services to clear out buildup and keep your indoor air fresh and clean.
If your AC is running but not cooling, it could be due to low refrigerant, a dirty filter, or a malfunctioning compressor. Schedule a service visit — our technicians will quickly diagnose the issue and get your system cooling again.
We recommend replacing your filter every 1 to 3 months, depending on your system, home size, and whether you have pets or allergies. Regular filter changes help improve airflow and energy efficiency.
Most systems last around 10 to 15 years. If you notice frequent repairs, uneven heating or cooling, or rising energy bills, it might be time to replace your unit. Good Dudes Heating & Cooling can help you choose a reliable, energy-efficient replacement that fits your home and budget.
