FAQ
Yes — the evaporator pad is a wear part, and swapping it annually is normal upkeep, not a sign anything’s wrong.
Most units last 10–15 years with regular maintenance. If yours is failing well before that, it’s often a sign of a maintenance gap rather than a defective unit.
A musty smell usually means mineral buildup or standing water inside the unit — common if the pad or filter hasn’t been changed on schedule. We clean or replace the affected part.
