Mold in air ducts is not only bad for your health, it can also be a costly problem to fix. If you have mold in your air ducts, you should hire a professional to find the source of the problem and correct it.
Mold can grow on any surface where moisture is present. When there’s mold inside an air conditioning system, it’s usually because there’s water somewhere in the system. This can happen if there’s a leak or if condensation forms inside the system because of high humidity levels outside.
If you live in a humid climate like Maryland and don’t use dehumidifiers regularly, your home may already have excess moisture built up inside it. If that’s true, then you’re more likely to see mold growth in your home’s ductwork than someone living in a drier climate.
Ductwork is made of metal or plastic and often has insulation around it as well. Condensation forms when warm air from inside your home passes over cold surfaces like these materials do during its trip from one room to another or when it goes outside through an exhaust vent on an exterior wall or roofline. The condensation then turns into water droplets that are carried back into your home by recirculated air from your HVAC, and that is how you can get mold in your system.
