Musty smell, should I clean coils first?
My hvac unit has a musty smell when I turn on the heat or ac for a few minutes then the smells goes away. I changed the filter and that did not fix the issue. Should I clean the coils next before I call in a HAVC tech?
I have a Carrier 58PHA/PHX PERFORMANCEt BOOST 80
4 ---WAY MULTIPOISE
INDUCED---COMBUSTION GAS FURNACE installed in 2013

What do I pull out the primary or secondary pan?
Last time I checked there was not water in the primary pan. Maybe there may be some water in the secondary pan but I would have to open the seal to the coils. The HVAC tech did recently install a splash guard.
