HVAC MAINTENANCE TIPS FOR PET OWNERS

August 10, 2023 by hls_admin

Pets are a beloved part of any family, and we’ll work hard
to keep them safe and comfortable inside of our homes. That being said,
however, pet fur and dander can also wreak havoc on how our HVAC systems
function.

Since we live in Florida, having a high-performing air
conditioning unit is crucial during the hottest months of the year. If you want
to ensure that your pet’s fur isn’t getting in the way of that performance, the
expert team at Veteran
Air has a collection of tips that can help you better control the
problem. From changing filters to keeping your pets groomed, any of these
suggestions can make a difference.

Replace Your Filters on a Regular Basis

If you want to avoid unnecessary AC service, changing your
filters out regularly is crucial when you have pets. Your air filter is the
first line of defense against air pollutants, such as pollen, mold, and yes,
even pet dander.

As a general rule, you should change your filters monthly,
unless expressly stated on the filter itself. If you want the best filter for
reducing pet dander in your air, look for high-efficiency filters with a MERV
rating of at least 8.

Make Sure You Clean Your Ducts

It’s easy to forget about cleaning our air ducts and vents,
but these areas are known for collecting pet dander and then recirculating it
throughout our Florida homes. The Veteran Air team suggests that homeowners
dust their vents and ducts at least once a week for the best performance and
cleanest air quality. If you have hardwood floors, two to three times a week
would be beneficial.

Schedule Grooming Appointments for Your Pet

Grooming is a normal part of being a pet owner, but often
times our lives get busy, and we put off these appointments for longer than we
should. One incentive to keeping your cats and dogs groomed regularly is the
benefit it can bring to the air quality inside of
your home. When pets are freshly groomed, dogs especially, they release less
dander into the air. In turn, this also means less dander will be collecting on
your vents and ducts.

Patrol Your Outdoor Unit for ‘Pet-Related’ Problems

Does your dog tend to use your outdoor HVAC unit as a place
to ‘mark his or her spot?’ If so, they could be causing serious damage to your
system’s performance ability. Make sure that your outdoor unit is protected
from any pet-related interference.
