If the heat was on for two days, and only now has produced smoke and burning smell, I would have the main connections to the electric heat strips checked (especially if the burning smell is a "hot plastic" kind of smell. The other possibility is that the heat speed windings on the blower motor are failing (that would be a hot shellac odor).
