The summer in New Hampshire so far has been very hot and humid. For those that crank the A/C during those 90 degree nights you should be aware that your air conditioner could be doing more than just keeping you cool, it could be sending mold into your home.
Like we have said before, and we will say it again, mold likes moisture. As your window unit air conditioner is running you will notice the area directly below the unit is wet from the condensation dripping off. The units for central air are more equipment for releasing the moisture from the device without causing too much moisture. The moisture you can’t see is the type you should be worried about. This moisture is finding a nice spot to live on the coils and ducts within the air conditioner as the ones that are the ideal environment for mold.
Mold can cause serious health issues for everyone especially children and the elderly as well as those already dealing with health conditions like asthma. Homeowners can do their part to prevent dust and mold spores from going around the filter, by following these steps:
- Changing the filters on a regular basis
- Keeping filters free to tears
- Clean out the inside of your air conditioning unit
