When we bought a used home 7 years ago we pulled up the carpet and found mold throughout the house. We of course had to take care of that clean air ducts etc. what I later found out was that the original air conditioner was oversized to a 3-ton air conditioner. At first glance this didn't make any sense to me until I realized that when the air conditioner was on because it was so powerful it would get the temperature down real quick to the desired level. However, it wouldn't do anything to reduce the humidity because it ran so short. Hence, mold under the carpet. Our new AC unit is smaller runs a little bit longer no mold.
