Sometimes when the air conditioning is first turned on,
the smell of vinegar comes through the vents. What is the cause of this?

Hi there,

have the A/C drain tube check fore a blockage, and get the A/C vents desanitized and deodorised with an A/C vent cleaner, this will more that likely be mould and mildew build up due to trapped moisture in the system.
