Make sure the drain pipe that dumps the condensation outside which is created by your Air Conditioner isn’t clogged. If so, a science project begins to grow as the trapped water in your system grows mold/algae and the stink has nowhere to go except out your ductwork vents. It smells like someone left a gym bag full of dirty clothes in the hot sun and then put a fan behind it to blow the smell towards you. If the backup is not fixed, eventually it will get into your systems evaporator and heater coil and can do serious damage to your system. This happened to me with the drain tube that dumps condensation out of my trucks HVAC system, it’s very nasty.
