Molds can infest any surface that will be conducive to its growth, and the natural condensation in HVAC systems can be a fertile ground for it. Plumbing Association of San Diego
Home Advice website BobVila.com says moldy HVAC systems are common in vacation homes.
“In a primary residence, accumulated moisture attracts notice. But things are different with a vacation home: Close it up when you leave, and you’re effectively trapping in moisture, giving mold precisely what it wants. On your next visit to the house, you can fight back against the mold by turning on the air conditioner. Indeed, air conditioning helps a great deal to reduce humidity. It’s a temporary solution, though, lasting only as long as you run the AC. Turn it off when you leave, and the mold inevitably returns.”

This moisture buildup becomes the perfect breeding ground for mold.”
