HEATING AND COOLING TIPS FOR PET OWNERS
Admin • November 8, 2017
Are you a cat or dog person? Or maybe you have both in your household. Pets can make a house feel like a home and nothing beats an evening of cuddling with your dog or cat. Pets can also mean more work including the not-so-enjoyable early wakeup calls and accidents. For better or worse, sharing your home with a pet can mean reworking a few habits, especially when it comes to your heating and cooling systems. The extra dirt, hair, and air from pet doors can put more stress on those appliances. Below are a few tips to keep both your pets and HVAC systems happy at http://www.artdouglasplumbing.com/hvac
Heating and Cooling Tips for Pet Owners:
Regularly replace air filters.
Pets can mean more dander, hair, and dirt floating around your house. These can end up clogging up your filters. Check your air filters before the recommended time and replace as needed.
Brush and bath your pet frequently.
Some pets may not enjoy this tip, but bathing and brushing your pet often can help reduce the previously mentioned hair, dander and dirt floating in your home.
Install a programmable thermostat.
We all want our pets to be comfortable. However, they do have built-in heating and cooling systems. If it’s possible, when you are not around during the day, set your furnace and air conditioner to a safe “away” temperature. Also, shutting off fans when not in use will save energy as well as relieve some stress from your HVAC systems.
Keep pets away from outside AC or Condenser Units.
Putting a fence around your external heating and cooling units can help keep your pet from clawing or urinating on the units, which can cause significant problems as well as possibly harming your pet.
These are just a few tips to keep your heating and cooling systems pet-friendly. Scheduling regular preventative maintenance can also help protect your HVAC systems. Save money and time by keeping your systems operating at their best! Call us today to learn more at (559)222-5306.
