Brisbane’s Humidity & Your Air Con: Why Regular Cleaning Matters

January 23, 2024

Mould, Moisture, and Mess — Here’s What Humidity Does to Your AC System (and What to Do About It)
If you live in Brisbane, you already know humidity isn’t just uncomfortable. It clings to everything. And your air conditioner? It’s one of the biggest victims.


Moisture-laden air, constant use, and condensation build-up make your AC the perfect breeding ground for mould, mildew, and bacteria.
That’s why regular cleaning isn’t just a maintenance task. It’s essential for healthy air and system performance. At
Kleen Air, we help Brisbane locals stay cool, breathe clean, and avoid the headaches that come from a dirty air con.

Is your AC struggling in the humidity? We’ll check it out and clean it properly.


Why Humidity Wrecks Air Conditioners Faster

Humidity is a silent system killer. Here’s what’s happening behind the vents:


1. Mould and Mildew Thrive in Damp Systems

Every time your AC cools warm air, it pulls moisture out. That moisture settles inside your unit.
Without regular cleaning, the result is:

  • Black mould around vents
  • Mildew odours in the room
  • Potential health issues for kids, pets, and allergy sufferers

We see this all the time and we clean it out properly with anti-mould treatment and internal flushing


2. Filters and Coils Get Clogged Quicker

Moist air means more particles get trapped in filters and stick to coils. That leads to:

  • Reduced cooling power
  • Higher energy bills
  • Strain on your system and parts

Want to stop your AC working overtime? We’ll give it a fresh start.


Warning Signs Your AC Needs a Clean

Not sure if your system’s overdue? Look out for these:

  • Weak airflow even at full power

  • Damp or musty smell when it’s on
  • Visible dust or black spots on vents
  • Leaking or dripping indoor units
  • It's been 6–12 months since the last professional clean


Even if it’s cooling fine, a dirty system can quietly be running less efficiently and circulating poor air.

If you’re noticing these signs, it’s time for a check-up.
