Our house has a circuit breaker box in the bad bedroom where the
previous owners built on an addition to the older house. I was wondering
if a circuit box has an odor to it because sometimes I could swear that
I can smell electricity in the air, but I can't really pinpoint where
it's coming from. It's been like this for the entire time we've lived here.


How can you "smell electricity" in a "bad bedroom"? Heck I can't even
see electricity, but I am really afraid of it. :-\

Arcing will produce ozone - which youn CAN smell.
