he thing about what I'm smelling is it isn't there all the time and I
can't find where it's coming from. It's like a faint scent and then

describe it. The only thing I can compare it to is the smell of
electricity.
Perhaps your smell is fine. It could be insulation on the wire
(burning), back stabbed outlets, switches (heat), a ceiling fan motor
/ wire nut connection (pour mechanical/electrical connection) or
something in the panel. Nobody can tell from here.
From my DIY experience... not being an electrician.
Thanks for the info. Next time I smell it I can try and track it down
more specifically.
