An electric furnace does not smell. It is composed of heating elements like those in an oven. What you should be looking for is something dead in the air ducts. A dead mouse could be the problem. Once the rodent, or what ever it is, becomes dehydrated and mummified the smell will go away.
The furnace kicks on when the temperature drops below the set temperature on the thermostat.
Check the circuit breakers for both, doubtful both have simultaneously failed.

Not likely, could be hi temp limit switch or bad air flow.
The furnace may be kicking on and off frequently due to a dirty air filter, a malfunctioning thermostat, issues with the ignition system, or improper sizing of the furnace for the space it is heating.

If it's a Mechanical thermostat it may be out of calibration or out of level.
That will depend on the cost (and availability) of gas in your area, when compared to electric costs. It will also depend on the climate. At very cold temperatures (below 40 F) the heat transfer element of an air/Freon heat pump does not deliver heat, and the less efficient electric heat kicks in. In a climate that has long periods of below-freezing temps, a gas furnace may be more economical to operate.
it makes it move diagonally in a circle only untill the Carilogiac kicks in.
Furnaces can get loud if they need service. Over time, they get clogged up and dirty, which is not only inefficient and loud, but can be dangerous too. Have it serviced by a qualified professional.
The reason for this is because the furnace has not warmed up yet. The blower kicks on the same time the burner lights. However the furnace does not go into "high fire" until after a period of about 10 min. After this stage is when you will really begin to feel the warm air.
