Never underestimate the effect indoor air quality has on the well-being and productivity of your employees. Air conditioning, in particular, has a massive impact on indoor air quality, as mold tends to grow in certain components and spores frequently spread through the ductwork. This is just one reason why Honolulu’s Cornerstone Air Conditioning highly recommends scheduling routine maintenance to prevent these problems.

Here are a few ways preventative air conditioning service improves air quality, reduces allergy-like symptoms, and promotes good health in your building:

  • Prevents Mold Growth: Air conditioning systems have drain pans, which are designed to catch condensate. Mold will quickly start growing in a drip pan filled with room temperature water, so ensure yours is drained at least every few weeks, or more frequently depending on your A/C usage.

  • air conditioningImproves Air Quality: The function of an air filter is to keep HVAC condensers and other mechanical components clean and dust-free. Air filters work their best when they’re changed at least every three months or even every month, depending on how heavily you use your HVAC system. But when left for too long, dirty air filters will not only let dirt through to mechanical components but also spread it throughout your building.

  • Stops the Spread of Disease: Another issue that affects people in air conditioned buildings is the spread of diseases such as Legionella. If your building has a cooling tower, ensure the water is treated by an air conditioning service regularly so harmful bacteria doesn’t have a chance to proliferate and cause an outbreak. While it’s usually harmless in the wild, Legionella reproduces very quickly in cooling towers, making it a serious health risk.
