Mold growing inside your air conditioner is never a good thing. At the least, mold buildup can exacerbate seasonal allergies and smell bad. At the worst, mold can be toxic and dangerous in high concentrations. Fortunately, there are basic air conditioner mold prevention strategies you can use to prevent growth inside your home HVAC system.
Keep It Clean
Mold does not grow in a vacuum. Like every other form of life, mold requires the correct conditions in order to survive and thrive. The best way to keep mold from forming in your home air handling unit is to minimize those conditions that allow it to survive. So, what's mold into these days?

Dirty Filters and Ducts
Like other lifeforms, mold spores move around the environment until they die or find a location where they can grow. These spores only have a chance to grow if you give them enough time. If you keep your air filters and air ducts clean, you're going to be sweeping up spores along with dirt, pollen and other detritus. The less time mold spores have to sit in your system, the less chance they get to start spreading.
Moisture
Mold loves moisture and most air handlers built up condensation that allows mold to get busy spreading where you don't want them. Make sure the drain connections on your air handler aren't clogged and that condensation isn't regularly collecting where it shouldn't be. Winning the moisture war goes a long way toward keeping your home mold free.
Darkness
Mold lives in darkness. As you might expect, so does your air handler. The only thing you can do about this is invest in an ultraviolet light to purify the air as it moves through the system. There's some disagreement in the industry on how effective these lights are and if you are skeptical, then taking care of dirt and moisture should be enough to prevent mold growth.
