Air conditioning systems are susceptible to attacks by pests resulting in serious malfunctioning. Typical pests that attack central AC systems include cockroaches, spiders, mice, rats, snakes, squirrels, and raccoons. At A-Plus Quality, HVAC servicing company in Toronto, we provide solutions to pest issues affecting air conditioning systems in the Greater Toronto Area and surrounding cities.
Common pest issues with central AC systems
1. Cockroaches
Cockroaches are adapted to navigate tiny spaces and can quickly fix themselves into HVAC systems. Though they do not cause much harm, their movement through the ductwork can irritate. Cockroaches are also carriers of various diseases.
2. Spiders
Spiders also have the potential to crawl through tiny spaces. They can get into ductworks, vents, and indoor AC systems. They may pose health risks to humans and have no impact on the functioning of HVAC systems.
3. Mice and rats
Due to their gnawing abilities, rats and mice pose a significant threat to electronic wiring and general HVAC systems. Corrupted wiring systems also create the risk of electric surges that may result in the malfunction of the system.
4. Snakes
Extreme weather conditions force snakes to look for favourable conditions to survive in. Due to the moderated temperature in the environment, HVAC systems provide an excellent survival place. Most snakes are human health hazards.
5. Squirrels and Raccoons
Like rats and mice, these rodents are capable of gnawing through electronic devices. Their large sizes also cause noise disturbance as their movements are audible.
