What makes an air conditioner that hasn’t been serviced dangerous? What is hidden inside?

Only a small number of air conditioner users fully understand the importance of and need for service. Many people simply use air conditioners without thinking about the fact that it should be inspected and cleaned periodically. The results are worsening health and serious illnesses.  

What is the direct connection between air conditioner servicing and your well-being? Everyone needs to know the following information. During use, dust accumulates in the indoor unit. The filter mesh does not trap every particle; some get onto the surfaces of the fan blades and the evaporator.

In damp conditions, dust particles become overgrown with microbes, and soon after, mildew starts to grow. If the parts are not regularly cleaned, then mold will spread further, covering more and more surface area. This is dangerous, because the user isn’t even aware of these processes and will continue to run the air conditioner as usual.

Mold, bacteria, and other harmful particles enter the air and are quickly spread around the room thanks to the internal unit. People inside the building spend lots of time breathing dirty air and have no idea what kinds of dangerous bacteria are entering their bodies. Primarily, the people who are harmed are those with compromised immune systems, the elderly, and children. 

Regularly breathing in harmful particles has scary consequences for your health. An allergic reaction occurs, you get a cold, the problems with your respiratory tract are exacerbated, and, with time, these develop into chronic issues. The disease referred to as “Legionnaire’s disease” or “Pittsburg Pneumonia” is especially dangerous. This is an infectious disease caused by ingesting harmful microorganisms into the human body. 

Legionella is a pathological bacteria that appear and develop inside the air conditioner, after which they get into the room’s air, where they multiply and enter the person’s body. 

In order to protect yourself and your loved ones from these kinds of illnesses, you must follow your air conditioner’s service schedule exactly and have the indoor unit cleaned regularly using special disinfecting solutions.
