We’ve all heard about the dangers of outdoor air pollution, but have you ever stopped to consider the quality of the air you’re breathing inside your home? Your Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) has a significant impact on your health and comfort, and while investing in appliances like air filters is useful, they’re far less effective if your AC unit is circulating air through a dirty HVAC system.
Regular air conditioner cleaning is an important part of keeping your air safe and healthy, and in this post, we’ll go over a few ways it can directly impact your IAQ.
- Contaminant Removal – Cleaning the filters, ducts, and other components of your HVAC system helps get rid of contaminants like dust, pollen, pet dander, and other particles that can negatively impact your IAQ.
- Moth Growth Prevention – Mold thrives in damp, dark places with lots of particles for it to grow on, so a dirty AC unit is prime mold real estate. Regular air conditioner cleaning gets rid of the gunk that mold thrives in, as well as removing any existing mold and spores.
- Better Airflow – Your AC unit has filters built into the system, but if they’re clogged up, they can’t do their job. Clean filters let air circulate freely, and the filters can also actually do their job of collecting harmful particles.
- Odor Elimination – All the particles we’ve covered in this article can lead to some smelly odors emitting from your air conditioner if they’re allowed to build up. Proper air conditioner cleaning helps reduce bad smells by getting rid of them at their source, not just masking them with air fresheners.
