Mold: The Silent Threat Lurking in Your Home
Mold. It's a word that can strike fear into the heart of any homeowner. This lurking substance can cause a host of health problems, from allergies and asthma to more serious respiratory issues. And one of its favorite hiding places? Your HVAC system.
How Does Mold Grow in Your HVAC System?
Your HVAC system provides the perfect environment for mold growth: moisture, warmth, and darkness. Over time, condensation can build up in your ducts, drain pans, and coils, creating a breeding ground for mold. This mold can then spread throughout your home with the air that your system circulates.
Signs of Mold in Your HVAC System:
Musty odors coming from your vents
Visible mold growth around your air conditioner or furnace
Water leaks or drips from your system
Frequent respiratory problems for you or your family
Preventing Mold Growth:
Regular Maintenance: Schedule annual tune-ups for your HVAC system. Our technicians will clean and inspect your system to prevent mold buildup.
Change Your Air Filter Regularly: A dirty filter can restrict airflow and increase humidity, creating ideal conditions for mold growth.
Proper Ventilation: Ensure your home has adequate ventilation to reduce moisture levels.
Address Leaks Promptly: Fix any leaks in your plumbing or roof as soon as possible.
