Last time we discussed the nasty stuff that can gather on your cooling coil. The impact this can make on your indoor environment are significant. The dirt will block the coil, or gather in the drain pan. If it blocks the coil it affects the air flow and output of the unit. If it gathers and mixes with the natural spores in the air we have a fungus or bacteria "soup" that can spawn great breathing problems or at the very least block the drain.
The first act of prevention is to clean the unit and filter compartment! This can be done by compressed air, shop vac or you may need to call in a professional to tackle the job. We can list various duct cleaning firms that are reputable.
Next install a good filter--at least a pleated one--and change it every 30 days. We can set up an automated system for you as well.
Next time we will cover some more detailed ways of securing your indoor breathing.
