Tip to reduce Mold growth in your air conditioning unit.
Mold loves hot moist areas with little or no air movement. You would think the air in your Orlando home or office is moving at all times, but it isn’t. If you have your thermostat set and the fan set to auto, you are allowing the unit to shut off. There is a way to keep the air moving, and that’s keeping the fan set on the on position. People are concerned about wasting electricity by running it all day, but the benefits of clean air is worth it. By keeping the air handler fan running, you never allow the air to become stagnant. Keeping it moving is the key to stopping the growth and in return you’ll stop spreading the mold throughout your Orlando home. Here are a few things you may not know about the air we breathe:
- 50% of illness is directly related to or aggravated by the air we breathe
- Indoor air is up to 100 times more polluted than the outdoor air
- We breathe 200,000 liters of air daily
- There are up to 30 million pollutants in one cubic foot of air
- The average family will spend $500-$1,500 per year on over-the-counter or prescription medicine
- You can view 15% of the dust and dirt in the air with the naked eye; the rest is microscopic.
The microscopic portion of the particle is what poses a problem from the health standpoint.
- Our homes are making us sick due to tight construction. Tight construction, although wonderful for
saving energy, is horrendous for Indoor Air Quality. It traps contaminated air in, and outside air out.
