If you’re asking, “Why does my AC smell?”, it may be time for an HVAC inspection.
There’s nothing like the feel of cool air from your home air conditioning on a hot summer day. The only thing that could ruin it would be an odour like dirty socks drifting in from the AC vents. If your air conditioning starts to smell, it’s best to call your local ClimateCare member for a system inspection. There are several possible causes of foul odours from your AC; none of them should be neglected!
Reasons for AC Odours
- A clogged condensate drain may be creating a haven for mould and mildew
- An oversized AC unit may not remove enough moisture, allowing mould and mildew to grow within the system
- Dirty cooling coils can cause strange odours
- Air filtration problems may leave odor-causing contaminants in the AC system
While some of these are unpleasant inconveniences, mold in your home can be a serious health hazard. With any kind of odor coming from your AC, the safest thing to do is call ClimateCare and have their certified technicians investigate.
