re: Stinky Sock Sydrome in HVAC

Good ole aluminum coils. Get used to it, will pop up every now and then. Our AC guy was able to almost completely eliminate our issue by setting the blower to run a little longer after the cooling cycle. I added the cheap UV light kit after and that completely eliminated it.

Ours would do it bad if we want out of town during the spring and summer and kicked the units up while we were gone. I’m guessing that allowed the organisms to grow better.

One of my friends have a new unit that seems to do it regularly when the temp is just warm enough to kind of short cycle the system. He added the UV kit and it helped but he said his ac guy said his unit did not have the option to extend the fan run after the cycle.
