Brief Answer:
Get your air conditioners services

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. In traditional literature dirt sock syndrome occurs due to the build up of bacteria and mold in your air conditioner, which smells like a dirty sock. And so the first and only solution would be to call the air conditioner maintenance personnel to help clear out all the mold and bacteria from your air conditioners.

Give it for service and then we can find out whether this is the reason why you are not feeling well/healthy since you moved to this house.

I look forward to hearing from you in order to help you further. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.
