CAN MY AIRCONDITIONER MAKE ME ILL?

Does this sound familiar? In summer we can’t live without the airconditioning unit to cool us down, but in winter we are too scared to use the aircon as we are afraid of getting sick. But it is not the airconditioning that is making you ill, but rather several factors which all added together, leave you feeling less than your best.

If your airconditioning unit is not serviced on a regular basis, it becomes a breeding ground for all sorts of bacteria, mold and fungi, which thrive in the damp conditions inside the airconditioning unit. If the filter is not cleaned regularly, germs and other airborne pollutants which are collected in the filter, will end up in the air that you breathe and ultimately in your lungs.
