Can Legionella be caused by a home air conditioner or split system?
Legionella is not something you can contract from domestic / household air conditioning. The majority of Legionella cases are usually caused by maintaining cooling towers incorrectly. Cooling towers are predominantely used in commercial air conditioning systems. The cooling towers are used to cool water condensers and in industries to cool recirculated water. Q: Should i have the thermostat on my air conditioner set to “auto” or should i have it set to “on” A: Most air conditioners have an “auto” setting on the thermostat. This setting makes the fan operate only when the temperature requires it. This is generally the most used and energy efficient setting because programmable thermostats have the ability to maintain a steady temperature therefore reducing energy usage by only working when required.
