Default burning rubber smell in my home

Two things come to mind. A loose and burning belt on a heater blower
or other appliance such as washer or dryer, OR you have a teenager who
has been using your car and left black rubber lines all the way down
your driveway. If you have a teenager, I'd punish them first and ask
questions later. Otherwise, start checking appliances that have
belts. especially the furnace blower.

I have all of a sudden had a burning rubber odor in my dining room. I
had an electrician come out and he assured me that it is not
electrical. I saw a few articles that suggested heater problems. The
odor is actually in the wall on the opposite side of the room from the
heater vent? Any ideas as to what this may be and who I should call?
Any and all advice is welcomed!
