How long has this been happening? If the heater core has a very small leak, it could take a while to notice the coolant level in the recovery tank get low, but steam will come from the inside vents, or it could be an electrical fault in the resistor in the heater a/c ducting.

Electrical fires and antifreeze leaks smell very different.
