burning rubber smell in my home

Well, that's a classic description of skunk odor. Any chance it's that?

I've never associated skunk with burning rubber. Is there a room upstairs that might have a heating vent with a duct running through that wall where the odor is originating? Even if there is, I'd be very surprised if it was the heating duct getting that hot. I'd still be worried about electrical problems despite what the electrician said. Is the wall warm to the touch anywhere?

Total long shot here but I thought I'd through it out there... I had a burning rubber odor in my house that took forever to identify. Turned out it was a bad UV light bulb that was emitting too much ozone. I have a UV light filter attached to my A/C unit. Any chance you have any UV light bulbs around? Good luck!

You must not live anywhere near skunks. I live in central Texas and, believe me, skunk smell is very unique. There's no mistaking it for anything!!

At Ground Zero, skunk spray does, in my opinion, smell like burning rubber .... expecially on a dog!!!! Also, when it is far away, it smells a bit like coffee. I once read that a chemist said there is some chemical basis for the coffee smell.

Anyway, I have, over the past year, been occasi> >
