Is odor from AC after cleaning normal?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the intense heat wave we had last month, I noticed a strange odor coming from the air conditioning unit in our living room. It's been a few days since I opened the window to let some fresh air in, but that smell persists, and it's quite noticeable even with all the fans on. Could this be related to the coil cleaning? Should I call a professional or is there something I can do myself?

Hi there! Thanks for reaching out. Yes, it's quite possible that the smell from your AC unit after cleaning is normal and can be attributed to a few different factors.
In Dubai/UAE, during intense heat waves, air conditioning units are often subjected to high loads of dirt, dust, and other airborne particles. After thorough coil cleaning, there might be temporary odors as these particles are released into the system. This is especially common if you've had your AC unit serviced for the first time or after a long period of inactivity. However, it's important to note that any unusual smell coming from your air conditioning should not be ignored. In Dubai, where we experience such intense heat and humidity, maintaining proper indoor air quality is crucial, as it directly impacts comfort and health. If you've noticed the odor persisting for more than a few days or if the smell seems particularly strong, it would be prudent to have a professional inspection done. This can help ensure that there's no underlying issue like mold growth or other contaminants in your unit that might need addressing. For reliable, professional services in Dubai, I'd recommend calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or reaching out via email at hello@saniservice.com. They can provide a thorough inspection and any necessary remediation to ensure the air you breathe is clean and safe. Remember, your comfort and health are top priorities, so don't hesitate if the smell continues or worsens. Taking action now could prevent more serious issues down the line. Hope this helps! |
