Mould everywhere, seen and unseen!

Most people expect to find mould in old carpets, bathrooms and damp areas around the house. But mould is very often found inside your HVAC systems.

Air conditioning mould can often be detected by musty smells in rooms with no visual mould present. But more than likely it is in there and you can’t see or smell it.

Mould growing in your air conditioning units can spread through your house every time you turn it on. Mould and other indoor air pollutants that hide in air conditioners can cause allergic reactions and even respiratory disorders.

Certain strains of mould can actually release mycotoxins that can lead to bleeding in the lungs and pneumonia. Asthma sufferers often have more attacks when there is mould present in the home.  Any mould in your home is dangerous, but mould spores in the air are easy to inhale, especially for young children and elderly people.

If you’ve ever cleaned your filter, you were probably surprised by how dirty it was.  Now imagine air conditioner ducts and vents that you aren’t able to look into.  You’d be surprised by how dirty the return duct is. Very often there is a combination of dirt, pet hair, mould, bacteria, animal faeces, even sometimes dead animals, all clumped together and funnelled through air ducts, vents, and straight to your lungs.

This unseen assault on your health takes an additional toll if you take account the time you spend listless from being ill, including missed days of work, money lost, all of which could be prevented with twice yearly maintenance.

It is very important to have your air conditioner professionally cleaned at least twice a year. A qualified professional has the tools and knowledge to effectively remove dangerous contaminants from your air conditioning unit.
