How long does a burnt smell last in a house?

Came to clean air ducts. Not sure how clean they got my ducts. Left a mess on the floors around most of the floor vents. Did not vacuum the floor around the vents. The one good thing was they found a ring I had dropped in one of the vents.

Air Duct Cleaning questions, answered by experts

A floor return vent needs a clearance of between 6 and 12 inches in front of it. You should not place large furniture, such as shelves, drapes, or couches, directly in front of a return air vent.

A DIY duct leakage test should be part of your annual home maintenance routine. Conducting this test annually allows you to identify and promptly address new leaks. Regular testing helps maintain the efficiency of your HVAC system, reduce energy costs, and ensure a healthier indoor environment by preventing leaks from going undetected for extended periods.

If you discover a dead animal in your air ducts, address the issue promptly to prevent unpleasant odors and potential health hazards. Turn off your HVAC system to prevent further spread of contaminants and contact a professional HVAC technician or pest control specialist to remove the animal and clean the affected area. They have the tools and expertise to handle the situation, including removing and disinfecting contaminated ductwork. The technician will inspect the ducts for any damage or other issues that might have allowed the animal to enter.

If you’ve spotted a skunk or know that one of these furry creatures sprayed one of your family members, your answer is fairly obvious. However, a skunky smell in your house that isn’t coming from these critters may be a sign of a dangerous gas leak. If you suspect this, leave your home immediately and call emergency services. It could also be a build-up of dangerous gas in your home’s septic system or plumbing. Call a professional plumber near you to make an assessment.

Luckily, you can typically eliminate your microwave’s burnt smell within a few hours for most situations. Be sure to let it air out for two to three hours after cleaning to let the odor evacuate your home—if you close your home up too early, the odor will be trapped. For stronger, more stubborn burnt smells, it might take a full day or more to really notice a difference.
