Air conditioning stinks?!?

Question

I know this may seem weird, but it smells like squished ants (if you've ever smelled it). After a long while it goes away, but comes back every time I turn it on again. Why is this?

Answer 1

I have not experienced that particular odor,but ac units can smell.At the very least you need to clean your indoor coil and drain pan. These can get dirty and moldy then give off an oder. Home depot,Lowe's and hvac shops sell cleaners for this.If that doesn't do it, you will probably need your duct work cleaned.That will require a pro. Hope we have helped.

Answer 2

Its dirty and needs a good steam cleaning.
