My AC heater makes a burning smell, is this normal?

When the heater is switched on for the first time, there will likely be a newness smell from the heater for the first few minutes. We recommend ventilating the room during this period and it will soon pass.


When a heater is first switched on after a long period of being switched off, a slight burning smell may be noticed, which is dust burning off the electric element. Again, this smell will quickly pass after a couple of minutes and ventilating the room well.
