How Dust Storms Affect Your Air Conditioner

Phoenix is known for its dust storms. When thunderstorms roll in, the wind can stir up dust, mold, and pollen that are not only detrimental to your allergies, but harmful to your air conditioner unit. Unfortunately, dust is not the only threat that Arizona provides for your HVAC system. Pollen counts can be high in Phoenix due to the plants that release pollen in the warm, sunny days that Arizona provides. Due to the threats of dust and high pollen counts, Phoenix HVAC units must be properly maintained. The pollen effect on HVAC systems shouldn't be ignored. This is bad news for those in Arizona with allergies and asthma. High pollen counts can reduce indoor air quality if you do not have a well maintained AC unit. Poorly maintained ducts and inefficient filters can open your home to an environment susceptible to bacteria and viruses. These are the most common ways that mold and other pollutants creep into your HVAC system and increase the harmful pollen effect on HVAC.

Poorly maintained ducts
Inefficient filters
Large dust and dirt build up
Dirty coils and drip pans
Improper air balance

It is vital to perform preventative AC and furnace maintenance in Phoenix to avoid costly repairs and unnecessary replacements. Actions as simple as changing your air filter can keep your home from mold and other pollen effect on HVAC systems that can have costly cures. Don’t wait for the odor of stuffy air to trigger your concerns to look into the maintenance of your air conditioning unit. Though some bacteria produce odors, many do not. You may have an issue in your cooling or heating system without even knowing. Pollen can affect your HVAC for months without your knowledge, so be proactive in the care and maintenance of your system.
