I have had our air conditioning unit for seven years now plus seriously have not had any significant problems before.
However, recently, it seemed to me as though the AC was blowing in dirty air.
The smell is slowly becoming unbearable, plus eventually I had to wonder if there is something I can do about it?. I have tried everything, from dousing the apartment with freshener plus even keeping the windows open as long as possible, however clearly it is not working, however one time, I decided to switch off the AC. I checked the filters first, plus HVAC duct to be sure that the last Heating as well as A/C tuneup was done correctly since it was barely several weeks ago. Everything was perfect. Tired plus frustrated, I eventually decided to get in touch with the Heating as well as A/C expert that handles all necessary maintenance problems in our house. Three hours later, the heating plus cooling expert actually was at our doorstep since he sensed our desperation plus was willing to help super urgently. The pungent smell was evident the moment he walked to the house. He suspected right away that a dead rodent was trapped inside the AC’s fan. Every time the blades rotated, the dead smell would dissipate plus intensify. Since there was no physical sign of a rodent within sight, he had to open the unit to verify. Truly, an immense rodent was trapped right in the middle of the air conditioning. He disconnected it plus cleaned the unit. He used a high powered desmellizer to remove the strong smell, plus everything was restored to its normal state. I was never traumatized this much, but I also l acquired to deal with rodents the moment I saw signs.
