Is it true or not that a fishy odor in the house can mean you have an electrical problem?

Asked by JLeslie (65417points) September 20th, 2018 from iPhone

Off and on I have had this problem in my current home. Initially, it seemed to be really bad when I ran the heater. Note: it is NOT the smell you get when you haven’t run the heater for a year, and then you put it on and it smells like your house might burn down.

When I googled about the problem tons of information came up that it can be an electrical problem, yet my builder, electrician, and HVAC say they never heard of it.

What’s the story?
