There was even algae growing in the condensate drain
Living in Largo, FL, the cooling system is a priority plus a necessity. I run the cooling system nearly all year round, plus it officially handles rapidly changing temperatures in the high nineties or even triple digits. I spent quite a bit of currency for a high-efficiency, Energy Star rated cooling system for my home. When I first started up the cooling unit last year, I noticed that it was making some bizarre noises. I hoped that it would labor out any problems after it ran for a while. Instead, the concerns grew steadily worse. There was a musty smell coming from the vents plus a significant amount of dust plus other contaminants circulating in our breathing air. The cooling system seemed to be supplying less cool air than normal; Despite lowering the thermostat several times, the condo felt slightly hot plus sticky. The cooling system ran just about non stop plus the cost of my bi-weekly energy bill was a very unpleasant surprise. When I finally scheduled professional repairs, the servicemans opened up the cooling system and showed me the problem. There was an enjoyable deal of dust, lint, mold growth plus all sorts of debris clogging the inner workings. There was even algae growing in the condensate drain. This buildup was restricting airflow, hindering performance plus forced the cooling system to labor harder, use more energy plus cycle longer, however not only was the cooling system putting out less cool air, there was also the risk of polluted indoor air quality, and fortunately, a thorough cleaning plus tuning fixed the many problems with operation. I have now enrolled into a maintenance program for the cooling system.
