Back at the end of Spring (end of heating season), we were getting a very strong oil smell when furnace fired. Strong enough it lingered when furnace was off as well. Pretty much just turned furnace off and ignored it. Fast forward to thinking about heating season starting and remembering that I need to be thinking about this furnace. What might I be looking for besides a cracked heat exchanger that might give us the strong fuel oil odor? Don"t really want to start this until I get a handle on it. Smell is bad enough, but a little worried about killing us all in our sleep.
FWIW it"s worth it is an older Trane unit. I think the build date on it is early 90"s. We moved here in "03.
