I am not sure about what it is you are smelling but most all forced air systems and many hot water heating systems will produce a smell particularly when the heat hasn't been on for a couple of days but often also after something has been disturbed. Actually a lot of things give off a smell when heated particularly if some time has passed since they were last heated. It may have something to do with small particles of dust or other aerosols being released as the materials are being excited by the increasing temperature I don't know. It doesn't take much and even with very good filtration only a very few molecules need be present in many cases for the nose to detect them. We used to get that even with our electric baseboard heaters way back when I had an all electric house.
Imagine, for example, a swimming pool where the chlorine levels might be 6 parts per million or less in the water, how many in the air around the pool and yet the nose can often detect the smell. What is the concentration of particles from one fart in church? If you do have any gas appliances or any flame appliances really, you should buy and use a carbon monoxide detector. I have only had mine for a year but I am glad to have it. Good luck.
