Discovering a mold situation during a/c service

Since then, I have taken a/c care seriously and replaced the air conditioning filter as often as necessary

When the central air conditioner started making unusual noises, I called the air conditioning business and booked an appointment with the a/c repairman. I had several ideas about what was wrong with the a/c setup but decided to let the HVAC techs do what they do best. I had had recurrent flu infections that had started worrying me. The flu infections began after returning from my spring trip abroad. The air conditioning install had become so inefficient that my bedroom felt hot and stuffy. My nights got very uncomfortable that I had to invest in a portable fan to enhance indoor comfort. The air conditioning installation was nine years old, so I knew I was dealing with something other than an old system. Since installation, I have only had the air conditioning professional come four times to do the a/c repair. The HVAC technician did the a/c service and discovered a mold growing in the attic. From the assessment, the professionals found that the mold started growing during winter. It had grown into the system, causing a blockage and restraining airflow. They cleaned all the mold from the walls and the system and restored the optimal condition of the quality air conditioner. The mold had also messed up the climate control device, so we got a new digital thermostat. Since they cleaned and treated the mold, I have noticed that the flu infections have reduced. Since then, I have taken a/c care seriously and replaced the air conditioning filter as often as necessary. I have since opted for a HEPA filter, which is more advanced in trapping particles and pathogens.
