Your A/C is the heart and lungs of your home. The evaporator coil, which cools warm air, is a breeding ground for bacteria and mold because of the wet, cold environment that the coil produces.
The most important part of your A/C system maintenance is often the most neglected – the filters, evaporator coil, and blower wheel are the three most important parts of your indoor air handling system.
As the warm return air from your house passes through your A/C filter, a clean, good-quality filter will remove most air particles, but still, extremely small allergens, odors, germs and mold will get though and slowly collect, building up a bio-film on the evaporator coil. This must be cleaned on a regular basis to maintain cleanliness of the system. It is these organic substances that become a breeding ground for mold and mildew inside the air handling unit.
And so, it’s very important to the air quality in your home to keep the evaporator coil, return air filters, and the blower wheel clean – this is why these services are included in our maintenance package. Email or call us today to find out more.
Besides cleaning, we can also install a UV light that prohibits the growth of mold and bacteria on the evaporator coil. We usually recommend this for coils that are older, in bad condition, and cannot be cleaned properly because of the age of the evaporator coil.
Through the years we have found these two products from Air Oasis to be the best and most effective in keeping indoor air quality clean:
