How does fungus, mold and bacteria get into a heating, ventilation and air conditioning system?
Fungus, mold and bacteria are common throughout all environments on earth. They proliferate particularly where there is moisture and where they have a source of nutrients. Within a home or building air conditioning system, the damp surfaces of heat exchange coils and the duct-laden air filters provide ideal environments for a wide range of bacteria and fungi to thrive. Since air conditioning systems typically rely on a combination of “fresh” air from outside and air that is recirculated within the building, it is impossible to prevent spores, bacteria and various micro-organisms from entering. However, by treating the air handling surfaces with AerisGuard™, one can prevent the extensive colonisation that often occurs within the system.
