- LeifCarrotson 9y agoThere's little risk of disease (Specifically, Legionnaires') from residential air-cooled A/C systems. The risk is typically from industrial air conditioning systems which use a water-based heat exchanger between a radiator system on the roof and the condenser. The water in this system is kept warm. The water in the condensate tray of a typical AC is cold and continually drained, so the disease doesn't propagate well.
