Smelly Air Conditioning Unit

Mould and Bacteria growth in your car air condition unit.

Some of the reasons why there is a distinct smell in your vehicle air conditioning  unit when you turn it on is:

• The growth of mould in your air vents.
• Smells of mildew in your car may be caused by the growth of bacteria. The growth of these bacteria is often behind the dash panel on the evaporator. This causes an unpleasant odour coming out the air conditioner unit.
• Also, if the air conditioner is not used as often then this can also cause the growth of bacteria.

These could be very bad for the health and safety of the driver and the passengers in the car.  This is because of the potential  health concern that is brought by the bacteria and mould present in your car air conditioning unit.  Make sure that you frequently use your vehicle air conditioning unit to avoid bacteria and mould forming. Also have your vehicle air conditioning unit checked when you notice an unpleasant smell coming from your A/C unit.
