Pets add companionship, joy and laughter to our lives. They also bring a lot of hair and dander into our homes, which can negatively affect residential and commercial air conditioning systems.
As a pet owner, it’s important to diligently clean your air filter on a regular basis. Here are some tips to ensure top performance from your AC unit:
- Check the filter once a month. Filters are vital for the cooling of your home or business. If your filter is clogged with hair and dander, it won’t function properly and will have to work too hard to cool effectively.
- Consider an air purification system. Anything that can be done to filter the air in your home or office will benefit your AC. A purification system traps the hair, pollen and other particles that float in the air.
- Brush and bathe your pets regularly. This helps control the amount of pet hair released into the air, keeping it from being trapped in your HVAC system.
These are just three suggestions to help alleviate the affects of pet hair on your system. For additional pet dander advice, check out: How Pet Hair Affects Your HVAC System.
