In my humble opinion the ac only amplifies an existing problem you

have somewhere else in your house.

In my experience when I walk in buildings without mold problems I

don't react to air conditioners on nearly the same level as I did to

the one in my trailer. So this is the conclusion I have come to from

my own anecdotal experiences.

It would help to remove all existing mold dormant or active. Remove

any contaminated items, focusing on things that have actual growth

like my computer monitor did and some other electronic items I had as

well.

A better option would be to focus on selling the house and finding a

new mold free house, or maybe renting so if things don't work out you

can just pick up and move. Although I have to admit the reason I have

avoided renting is because I have less control on what I can and can't

do concerning mold. If you do rent you will have to find a relatively

new building that is maintained meticulously.

I would emphasize as well before you go throwing away expensive

electronic equipment. Take the cover off and inspect it. If you see

active black mold like is visible in my monitor pictures you can view

at the above link throw it out. I don't want people to throw out

things they can sorely afford to lose unless it will benefit them.

If and when you move I would be much more aggressive of course

because than the focus is on not bringing the scourge with you.

Even worse, it can be an amplification site for a problem that didn't

originate inside your house at all.

As in, " from your neighbors spore plume. "

Hard to identify when this happens because, except for the

amplification site itself, the tests are negative unless the wind

happens to be lined up from your neighbors plume at the time.

Or anything you bring with you from a contaminated house. This is

where extreme avoidance pays in spades. Don't know what you can do

about a neighbors plumes but move though.
