Poor Air Conditioning Can Damage Your Home

Poor Air Conditioning Can Damage Your Home

When you live in a climate like the one in Houston you get pretty used to these long hot and humid days. We all know that in the deep summer heat, retreating into the cool comfort of your home and relaxing in front of an air conditioner is your best chance at escaping the heat!

 

However, something you might not know about your homes air conditioning system is that it is not only protecting you and your family from the heat, it is also protecting your home! That’s right, when your home is exposed to the extreme conditions that come along with a southern summer, it can actually become damaged from the moist conditions.

 

Humidity has the ability to warp the wood in your home. This means paneling, doorways, flooring, wooden stairs, cabinets, built-ins, bookcases, wooden instruments, and even wooden furniture can become vulnerable to warping when not kept in a cool and dry space. This can be devastating to a homeowner because the only way to fix a home with warped wood is to completely remove the damaged wood and replace it. In a home with its original wood fixtures this can completely destroy its vintage charm and old school appeal. Additionally, this kind of damage will add up to be a budget breaking expense quickly!

 

Another problem with homes that do not have properly functioning air conditioning is that they are much more likely to become infested with mold and mildew. Not only will mold and mildew eat away at your home, it is also problematic for your health. Living with mold and mildew can lead to you suffering from respiratory issues, becoming very ill, or developing lifelong conditions that negatively impact your health.  Having mold removed from a home can also become extremely expensive and the process for removal is typically long and tedious.

 

Both moisture damaged wood and mold infestations can come with a very strong and unpleasant scent that will fill your home. These problems both come with expensive solutions and may even result in permanent or long term damages. Do not gamble with the safety of your family’s health or the condition of your home.
