Have you been ill lately and unsure of the cause? If so, you may want to take a close look at your air conditioner. Without the proper maintenance, air conditioners can trap and circulate allergens, fungi, bacteria and other contaminates throughout your home or office!
Hazardous Particles
The bacteria in your air conditioner can spread several types of harmful contaminates throughout your living space. These can result in pneumonia, the common cold, sinus infections and many more unpleasant illnesses. Needless to say, this can be a serious health concern for you and your family.
This is a particularly serious concern for Brisbane residents during the hot summer months, when air conditioners may be running more often. You and your family may spend more time indoors, and if your air conditioner is not properly maintained this increases your risk of exposure to illness-causing contaminants.
Here are just a few of the signs that your air conditioner may be putting you at risk:
- Allergic reactions when you are indoors
- Stale air that does not seem to circulate well
- Mildew or mold smell throughout the building
- Visible mold throughout the building
- Air conditioner not operating correctly
