Why your air conditioner smells .
Why does the air conditioner smell?
On a sultry day, you can't turn on AC and feel refreshed enough to feel the explosion of cold air. However, if the cold air does not have a refreshing odor, it can cause major problems.
You may ask yourself, "What is that smell?" Whether or not it smells like rotten eggs or dirty socks, the air conditioner unit may need to be repaired. Learn about the different odors that can occur and find out 12 reasons why AC stinks. In addition, you will learn when to call a pro.
Evaporator coil mold / mold
The smell of dirty socks
It usually occurs when you switch from using a heater to an air conditioner. Dust begins to pass through the air filter and adhere to the evaporator coil of the air conditioner unit. This dust provides an excellent foundation for odorous molds and bacteria to grow in humid environments as the seasons change.
This accumulation can occur more quickly if the proper air filters are not installed and replaced on a regular basis and are not regularly maintained.
Signs of a dirty evaporator coil:
How and why mold and mold grow on the evaporator coil?
The AC unit cools the house and also removes excess moisture in the air. If that moisture is not drained properly, your air can smell like mold. Replace the filter and have the air conditioner cleaned professionally if necessary.
Pet hair
Pet hair, dust, and other contaminants can eventually get into your tubing. As contaminants build up, you may notice that the air from the vents smells like pet hair.
Visible signs of bacteria, or mold / mold buildup on the evaporator coil Ice formation in the coil Weaker air flow than normal
Workaround: Have a specialist clean the evaporator coil. This usually requires some disassembly, so it is not recommended to clean it yourself
Smelly feet
Stagnant water and clogged AC units give off a stinky foot odor. With proper cleaning, this odor will disappear.
