The smell of an air conditioner should be something of a trick question. If an air conditioner is run properly, it should be odorless.

Unfortunately, there are times when your air conditioning unit gives off an awful smell, particularly during this time of year when the unit is starting to be used regularly. If your air conditioner is doing this, know that it is common, and know that it may only be a minor issue. Also, know that the problem can be fixed quickly.

Odors in air conditioners, in many cases, are caused by either mold or bacteria – or a combination of both. Cooling units have coils that can attract moisture, which can result in the growth of mold and bacteria. If it isn’t mold or bacteria that’s a problem, it’s the dust that can collect on an air filter.

In keeping the unpleasant smell away from your unit, it is imperative to keep your air ducts clean. Regular maintenance of your air ducts will improve the indoor air quality of your home. It also will keep unwanted allergies and respiratory problems away. Additionally, it is important to replace air filters regularly in order to control dirt and allergen buildup.
