Mould and Mildew
The most common problem faced when dealing with air con maintenance is the smell of mildew/mould. If you start smelling a mouldy odour, your air conditioner has most likely started growing fungus. This occurs naturally as air conditioners remove excess moisture while cooling it. When moisture is not drained properly it starts to grow fungus. Another reason for this smell could also be dirty filters.
Calling a trained HVAC technician would be your best bet for removing mould and improving your air quality. A professional will properly clean the device and treat it with chemicals that destroy fungi which can cause serious health problems.
Dirty/ Clogged Air Conditioner
More often than not, we notice the air conditioner releasing a smell that resembles feet or a wet carpet smell. This odour comes from air conditioner condensation sitting in the system and not getting drained properly. The best way to resolve this is to contact a cooling and heating professional service to resolve the issue and ask them the best ways to maintain your air conditioning system.
If the filters are clogged, your air conditioner will not be able to work properly, leading to inefficient performance and potential failures. Therefore, if your filters are dirty, it will not only cause the air in the room to stink, but it can severely damage the essential parts of the air conditioner.
