They should be able to feel and hear the air conditioner, but they shouldn’t be able to smell it! If they feel like they need to wear a gas mask to avoid the odors coming from the air conditioner, they’ve come to the right place.

They are Premier Heating and Air, and they are the premier air conditioning service experts in Denver. The following is a list from the professionals of a few of the different smells that could be coming from the air conditioner and what to do about them:

perfect breeding ground

The air conditioner not only keeps the air cool, but it also absorbs excess moisture from the air

If the air coming from the air conditioner smells like mildew, then there is probably mildew or mold growing somewhere inside the air conditioner, most likely near the evaporator coils.

The air conditioner not only keeps the air cool, but it also absorbs excess moisture from the air, so it becomes the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew. To fix this, hire a professional to clean the unit, rid it of mold and replace the filters.

Stinky Feet

They’ll be glad to know that the stinky feet odor they are smelling probably isn’t coming from the socks. As they mentioned above, the air conditioner absorbs moisture from the air, and that moisture needs to be drained out of the system.

If it isn’t draining properly, it can turn stagnant and become smelly. They can drain the water themselves, but it’s also a good idea to hire a professional to make sure that the system will drain properly on its own.
