The smell from an air conditioning (AC) unit after it is turned off can be attributed to a buildup of moisture and dust within the system. When the AC runs, it cools the air and can create condensation, which may lead to mold or mildew growth on the evaporator coils or in the drainage pan. Additionally, dust and debris can accumulate, leading to unpleasant odors when the system is no longer circulating air. Regular maintenance and cleaning can help mitigate these smells.
turn on the ac and open the door or window
If you can smell AC gas in a building, it has a very strong odor, turn the AC off open all windows, and vent the building. It is extremely poisonous, get out of the building straight away. Call a AC contractor and they will find where it is leaking from and make repairs.
The ac pump may be seized up.
