How Do I Keep Mold from Growing on My HVAC Blower Motor and Cooling Coil?

Not an ideal environment for mold HVAC Fan blades don’t typically present a hospitable environment for mold growth as air flow typically prevents it. The cooling coil is more suited for mold, bacteria and yeast growth due to the presence of condensation. However, if your fan assembly (ducts, AC coils, etc.) haven’t been cleaned in years you could build up dust and other food sources for mold on the interior of the HVAC system that permit mold growth as moisture becomes available. In summer months conditioned air passing through an HVAC system located in a humid crawl space might be prone to condensation when warm moist air contacts the colder (conditioned) metal surfaces of the HVAC system. If the HVAC components are dirty the added water may allow mold to grow. We normally find the mold growth taking place in or on the ducts or in the drain pan of the evaporator coil. I’ve also found mold growing on dust buildup on the evaporator coil fins.
