Mold in AC Coils: Spotting, Preventing, and Upgrading to UVC Light Solutions

As a homeowner, maintaining the quality of your indoor air is crucial for the health and comfort of your family. One common issue that can compromise your air quality is the presence of mold in your air conditioning (AC) coils. Koala Coolin is here to guide you through spotting, preventing, and maintaining your AC coils, as well as considering an upgrade to coils with built-in UVC light for enhanced protection.

Spotting Mold in Your AC Coils

Mold in AC coils often manifests as a musty odor in your home, which is most noticeable when the AC is running. Visually, you may see black, white, or green spots around the coil area. If you suspect mold, it’s essential to act promptly to prevent health issues such as allergies and respiratory problems.

Preventing Mold Growth

Prevention is key to keeping your AC coils mold-free. Here are some steps you can take:

• Regular Maintenance: Schedule professional inspections and cleanings at least once a year.
• Proper Humidity Levels: Use a dehumidifier to keep indoor humidity below 60%, as mold thrives in moist environments.
• Good Airflow: Ensure your AC system has good airflow by regularly replacing or cleaning air filters.

Maintaining Your AC Coils

Routine maintenance is vital for the longevity of your AC unit and the health of your indoor environment. Here’s what you can do:

• Clean Coils: Have a professional clean your coils annually to remove dirt and potential mold.
• Inspect Drain Pans: Ensure drain pans are not clogged and are draining properly to avoid water buildup.
• Seal Ducts: Properly sealed and insulated ducts prevent moisture from entering and condensing on coils.

Upgrading to Coils with UVC Light

For an extra layer of protection, consider upgrading to AC coils with integrated UVC light. UVC light is a proven disinfectant that can kill mold spores and bacteria, ensuring your air remains clean and healthy.
