Having air conditioning is more than just a comfort when the weather is sizzling outside.

It can help to avoid dangerous health problems caused by extreme heat.

It also prevents outdoor pollutants from coming into your home, and it can help you sleep better. While the A/C can help you stay healthy and comfortable, an older unit can have negative health effects on your family. If you are finding recurring problems with your unit, it doesn’t hurt to consider extra maintenance and routine cleanings. Here are a few problems that could impact your family’s health and should convince you to consider a new A/C system. Condensation arises when air is cooled over the evaporator coils. This leads to mold growth, and bacteria can also grow along with the mold. This can lead to severe illnesses. Mold and bacteria can worsen pre existing lung conditions, and also cause dust sensitivities. Your A/C unit is a complicated appliance that operates throughout your home. It can be dangerous if it malfunctions. Heating and A/C systems with old wiring are the cause of hundreds of house fires each year. The electrical component of your system is extremely crucial here. If you delay replacing your old A/C for too long, you could endanger your family more. An old A/C uses refrigerant to keep you cool, but not all refrigerants are created equal. However, since the HVAC industry has expanded, it has begun incorporating safer versions of it, especially in the last 10 years. But even so, refrigerants can still make your family sick, so a new A/C will make your home much safer.
