A musty smell flowing from the cooling vents is more than unpleasant. There’s the very real possibility of mold and mildew growth. Because the interior of the air conditioner creates the ideal breeding ground for fungi, there is the potential for concerns with indoor air quality and reduced system efficiency. Temperature Control encourages a call to us at (520) 815-5665 to schedule professional AC cleaning anywhere across Tucson, Casas Adobes, Catalina Foothills, Amphi, Flowing Wells, Oro Valley, Tortolita, and Catalina, AZ.
Here Are Some Reasons for an Air Conditioner Creating Musty Odors:
-
Dirty filters
– When the tiny particles trapped in the filters are exposed to moisture, the result is mildew growth.
-
Clogged drain lines
– When the drainage of condensate becomes blocked, mildew tends to grow around the coil.
-
Dirty ductwork
– As the cool air passes through the duct system, contaminants can become airborne and spread throughout the house.
