Last night my wife woke me up @ 3:30 am to tell me something was burning. It smelled like a electrical wire cooked off and I got the family outside and then ran around the house and garage trying to find the source (electrical panel, appliances, outlets, the shop upgrades I've been doing, etc). After not finding anything in that frantic few minutes we called the fire department and they told us to get out of the house and when they showed up they used a device that can detect heat through walls & floors. They throughly checked every source of heat and thought it probably was the furnace as the burnt wire smell was thoughout the house.
To make a long story we don't really know what the problem is but the furnance has a bright blue flame and the motor is running fine. We have called a furnace company to check it out but if anybody out there has some ideas of what could be causing a burning smell from a furnace and / or in-line air filter unit I would greatly appeciate it!!!
The net net is everyone is safe and well but that sure was one wild way to wake up and none of us got very much sleep last night.
