Mold Prevention and Remediation in HVAC Systems

Mold is detrimental to indoor air quality, producing an unpleasant musty odor and causing allergic reactions. Mold can also damage porous objects such as carpets and furniture, forcing building owners to replace them.

Mold infestations that affect HVAC installations require urgent attention, since their spores can spread more easily through indoor spaces. Mold can spread very quickly if left unattended in a moist environment.

Once the presence of mold has been verified, it is important to determine which affected components can be cleaned and which must be discarded and replaced. Consider the case of mold in ductwork:

• Porous components such as insulation and fiberglass ducts must normally be replaced when they are affected by mold.
• Metallic ducts and other non-porous components are less susceptible to mold, and can be reused with proper cleaning.
