Euless FAQ

Should I turn my furnace off if I smell burning?+

If it's a faint dust smell in the first hour of the season, no, let it run through the cycle. If the smell is sharp, doesn't fade, or you see any smoke, turn the system off at the thermostat or breaker and call rather than waiting to see if it resolves on its own.

How long is too long for the burning smell to last?+

Normal seasonal burn-off typically clears within 30 minutes to an hour of the first run. If it's still noticeable after that, or comes back on a second or third cycle, it's worth having it looked at rather than assuming it will keep fading.

Is there anything specific to Euless homes I should know before calling?+
