Rain all week in Moreton Bay? Mould loves it. 🌧️ Days of rain and humidity are exactly what mould in an air conditioner likes. It grows on the coil, the drain pan and the blower wheel, where it's dark and damp, and the first sign is usually a musty smell when the aircon starts.
What to look for:
• A musty smell when it starts
• Black or grey specks on the louvres
• Drips or a damp patch on the wall below the unit
What helps:
• Run fan-only for 20 to 30 minutes after cooling to dry the coil
• Use dry mode on muggy days
• Skip the sprays. They mask the smell for a week, and bleach can damage the coil
If anyone at home has asthma or allergies, stop using that unit until it has been cleaned.
A full service and clean is the real fix, whichever brand you have: Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu, Daikin, Panasonic, Toshiba or Gree. A wet week is a good time to get on the list, before the summer rush.
