[QUOTE="birdhunter1980, post: 4171519, member: 33007"] We call that smell the dirty sock syndrome. Basically it's tiny particles on your evaporator coil that dry out after using your air conditioner and running your furnace. When you use the air conditioner again it gets moist and you smell it for a little bit. Like others have said clean your evaporator coil with some foaming cleaner, this usually takes care of it. Ultraviolet lights have become a great long term solution for this issue. I have a Premier One system on my house and have definitely noticed that the house smells better and my son's allergies are better. [/QUOTE]
