Your Air Conditioner’s Dirty Secret

The clouds are getting darker and heavier and just as the Easter lilies bloom so does the tsuyu or the rainy season come. Typically lasting from early May to the middle of June the rainy season brings dampness, humidity, and MOLD! This series is an introduction of ways to have a clean and healthy rainy season.

Air Conditioners are a vital part of life in Okinawa from April to November. However, neglecting to regularly clean your air conditioner unit you risk damage to your financial, mental, and even physical health!

Let’s take a look at the consequences of failing to regular schedule air conditioner cleaning.

It Hurts Your Wallet

A dirty air conditioner runs less efficiently than a clean air conditioner. When electronic devices such as air conditioners work harder, they use more electricity. So, while some people might find air conditioning cleaning to be an unnecessary expense, they will pay for it with higher electricity bills. Additionally dirty air conditioners are often filled with mold so when it is time to move out of your house or apartment be prepared to pay a hefty cleaning fee or even property damage fees!

It Stinks

Dirty air conditioners smell. The constant smell of a dirty air conditioner can cause embarrassment when guests are over as well as annoy household occupants. The smell of unclear air can also settle into clothes and belongings potentially leading to missed chances at romance for singletons and bullying for children. However, the smell is just a symptom of the most serious problem with dirty air conditioners.

It's Making You Sick

Mold! The biggest complaint in Okinawa. It’s gross, it’s smelly, and worst of all it’s incredibly dangerous. Dirty air conditioners are filled with mold. What’s worse is the air conditioner spreads the spores of mold all over your house, your pets, your children, and yourself. Common symptoms of mold exposure include cold/flu like symptoms, headaches, fatigue, itchy skin, dry eyes and more. For people with mold allergies or asthma mold exposure can be a serious medical issue.
