Is the AC coil dirty causing a musty smell?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell coming from the hallway near our kitchen. The AC in my apartment seems to be the source of this odor, and it’s particularly noticeable when we turn it on during the evening. Could there be an issue with the coil cleaning that’s causing this?

Yes, it's quite possible that the AC coil being dirty is causing the musty smell. In Dubai and the UAE, AC units are a crucial part of our lives due to the high temperatures during summer months. When these units aren't properly maintained, they can accumulate dirt, dust, and mold, leading to unpleasant odors.
In the UAE, there's no specific regulation mandating coil cleaning, but it’s highly recommended for maintaining indoor air quality and the efficiency of your AC system. The persistent musty smell you're experiencing could be due to moisture trapped in a dirty coil that's creating an ideal environment for mold growth. This is especially common after heavy rains as you mentioned. To address this issue, I would recommend having a professional inspection done.
