Your furry friends and HVAC system have more influence on each other than you may suspect. The longer you’ve owned animals, the more you gain new knowledge that you may not have previously known. Homeowning and pet-owning are learning experiences that are more easily navigated when equipped with helpful tools and tricks up your sleeve. Springboro Heating & Cooling wants to offer you tips for keeping a pet-friendly home while maintaining a smooth operating HVAC system.
What is the Benefit of UV Lights in Your Pet-Loving Home?
When living in a house with pets, there is a risk for newly developed allergies from exposure to animal dander and shedding. To live comfortably as we coexist with our pets, we must do all that we can to keep shedding and dander under control. UV lights are a great tool to utilize in this pursuit. The UV light air filtration system installed into your heating and cooling system helps weaken a variety of allergens, helping you breathe easy with fewer allergy-induced symptoms. UV lights also help break down and rid odor-causing chemicals, eliminating unwanted smelly pet odors!
What is the Significance of Installing a Barrier Around My AC Unit?
Springboro Heating & Cooling highly recommends not letting your pets have access to your AC unit, building a barrier as needed. Animals can be unpredictable; the playful and curious nature of both cats and dogs can put your unit and cables at risk for unwanted damage. If your outdoor air conditioning unit is uncovered, it is possible that it will soon become a public restroom for your pets if it isn’t already. The fact that the area around your unit holds the smell of different people makes it an even more likely target for “territory marking.” Breathing in animal urine is a serious concern for your health! When putting in a barrier, remember to allow space between fencing and your unit to avoid choking your system.
Why is Vent Cleaning Important When Owning Pets?
Hair and danger from pets can easily get into the air ducts and build up quickly over time. When living with pets, the hair and dander from the animals will get into the air ducts and build up over time. A large percentage of people have some form of allergy to the dander that pet hair carries. Duct cleaning curbs the volume of dander in the home and stops your visitors from irritable allergy symptoms from occurring the second that they step indoors. Dander is microscopic and therefore not visible to the naked eye, but that does not mean it should be left unaddressed. Duct cleaning is not typical for the monthly service maintenance offered, so be sure to give us a call ahead of time to see if we are able to promptly deliver this service to you. If not, we have no problem encouraging our clientele to outsource another HVAC professional to remove the fur, dust, dirt, debris, and dander from their air ducts.
We hope you have learned something new in reading this, and we look forward to helping you and your furry friends reside with comfort and dignity in your home! Our experts are awaiting your call.
