If your air handler is in an unconditioned space (like the attic or garage) or your return air grill is at floor level, your home could be at risk for mold growth and poor air circulation. Here’s why:
β
Condensation & Mold Growth – Warm, humid attic air meets cold AC surfaces, creating moisture – the perfect breeding ground for mold!
β
High Humidity & Poor Airflow – Floor-level returns pull in humid air and dust, making your AC work harder while spreading mold spores.
β
Energy Waste & Health Risks – Leaky ducts, unsealed air handlers, and improper return placement lead to inefficiency and poor indoor air quality.
β
The Fix?
βοΈ Move the air handler to a
conditioned space (if possible).
βοΈ
Seal & insulate ducts to prevent moisture buildup.
βοΈ Replace
floor-level returns with ceiling-level returns for better airflow.
βοΈ Add
UV lights to prevent mold inside the system.
βοΈ Schedule
an expert inspection to keep your AC running efficiently!
