Why Your Aircond Might Be Making You Sick (And You Don't Even Know It)

Let’s be honest — most Malaysians only call for an aircond service when the unit stops blowing cold air. But what if your aircond or aircon looks fine on the outside but is hiding a dirty secret inside? We’re talking about mold buildup — and it’s more common (and dangerous) than you think.

If your aircond smells musty, gives you headaches, or causes sneezing when it’s on, you might already be dealing with hidden mold.

What Causes Mold to Grow Inside Your Aircond?

Mold thrives in dark, damp, and humid environments — a perfect match for the inner parts of your aircond system.

Here’s why it happens:

• Dirty filters trap dust, moisture, and spores.

• Lack of regular aircond service means mold has time to grow unchecked.

• Malfunctioning drainage causes water to collect in the unit.

• High humidity in Malaysian homes encourages mold formation.

Left unchecked, mold can spread through your home, causing health issues and damaging your aircon.

Common Signs of Mold in Your Aircond

Look out for these red flags:

• Musty smell when aircond is turned on

• Black or green patches on vents

• You or your family suddenly experience respiratory issues

• Aircond feels like it’s blowing “wet” or stuffy air

• Allergy-like symptoms worsen when indoors

If any of these sound familiar, it's time for a professional aircond service — not just a filter wipe.

Why Mold in Airconds Is a Big Deal (Health Risks!)

Breathing in mold spores regularly can lead to:

• Allergies & sinus issues

• Asthma attacks (especially for kids & elderly)

• Skin irritation & rashes

• Persistent cough or sore throat

If you already have health concerns, a moldy aircon can silently worsen your condition without you realizing.

How to Prevent Aircond Mold Buildup

Prevention is easier (and cheaper) than full cleaning or repairs.

Here’s what you can do:

• Service your aircond every 3–6 months (especially in humid areas)

• Clean or replace filters monthly if used often

• Use a dehumidifier in bedrooms with poor ventilation

• Check for proper drainage — no water pooling!

• Leave your aircon fan running for 5–10 mins after turning off cooling mode

🔧 Professional aircond service providers like Encik Beku Aircond Service offer mold detection and deep cleaning packages to help protect your home and health.

💡Studies show mold exposure through air conditioning systems can increase the risk of chronic respiratory diseases.

How a Deep Aircond Service Fixes the Problem

When you book a proper aircond service — not just a basic wipe — here’s what happens:

• ✅ Full dismantling of unit for internal cleaning

• ✅ Mold-killing anti-bacterial solution sprayed inside coils and vents

• ✅ Deep filter scrubbing and drain flushing

• ✅ Blower fan and evaporator cleaned

• ✅ Post-clean inspection and deodorization

FAQs: Common Questions Malaysians Ask About Aircond Mold

Q: How often should I service my aircond to avoid mold?

A: Every 3 to 6 months, depending on how often you use it and where you live.

Q: Is it safe to DIY clean mold from an aircon?

A: Surface-level cleaning is okay, but deep mold removal should be left to professionals for safety and effectiveness.

Q: Can mold inside aircond damage the unit?

A: Yes. Mold can corrode parts, block airflow, and shorten the life of your system.

Q: I just cleaned my aircond last month. Why does it smell again?

A: If only surface-level cleaning was done, internal mold may still be active and growing.

Q: Is aircond mold covered under warranty or home insurance?

A: Usually not — because it’s considered preventable with regular maintenance.
