There is a moldy smell coming from the air conditioner/heater. I have taken it to a mechanic who ordered some kind of spray for it. The smell never really went away, and is now back strong.

HI there,

This is mold & mildew growing in the A/C vents, get the drain tubes checked and cleaned, the spray is the best way to kill this off, make sure its not just a deodorizer but an anti fungal spray there are using.
