Q: Is it bad to have mold in your air conditioner?

• <div><p>Mold in your air conditioner isn't a good thing, as it can be harmful to your health. If the mold travels through the ductwork or is blown out of the A/C, you and your family can inhale mold spores and develop respiratory illnesses and other problems. Preventing mold from growing in the air conditioner will help protect your health.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if my AC needs to be recharged?

• <div><p>There are ways to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/detecting-refrigerant-leaks.htm">detect a refrigerant leak</a> with several different testing methods. However, most homeowners can figure out something&rsquo;s wrong with their AC unit by noticing these common signs:</p><ul><li><p>Ice forming on the evaporator coil</p></li><li><p>Water leaks near the AC unit</p></li><li><p>Frequent hissing sounds</p></li><li><p>Increased electric bills</p></li><li><p>Unit takes longer than usual to cool</p></li><li><p>Unit is blowing hot air</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Can I stay in my home if there's a coolant leak?

• <div><p>While it's generally safe to stay in a home with a coolant leak if your home is properly ventilated, it's important to have a professional come out to assess the situation right away. You should evacuate your home if you notice any powerful fumes. Additionally, you should leave your home if you are experiencing headaches or dizziness.</p></div>

Q: How often should I clean my air conditioning unit?

• <div><p>You should clean your air conditioner at least once per year, but you may need to clean your whole HVAC system (including the air ducts) more often. According to the <a href="https://nadca.com/homeowners/frequently-asked-questions">National Air Duct Cleaners Association</a>, you may need to clean them more frequently depending on factors like whether you smoke, have pets, or have allergies.</p></div>

Q: Is a swamp cooler cheaper than central air?

• <div><p>Swamp coolers cost approximately 50 percent less to install than central air conditioners and cost less to run. Operation costs depend on the size of the unit and home, your climate, utility rates in your area, and the system&rsquo;s efficiency. Swamp coolers use 15 to 35 percent less power than air conditioners.</p></div>
