Guys,

This may well be a question for home repair forums, but where else would I have access to such experts...

Any idea why after turning on an electric baseboard heater in my basement it would generate a strong sickly sweet smell? It's quite disturbing. The building is an attached townhouse, and the basement is adjacent to a shared concrete parking garage. The basement and garage are separated by a CMU wall.

(In a Stephen King sense - it smells like something evil...)
