5 HVAC Maintenance Tips for Pet Owners

Owning a pet can offer companionship and unconditional love, but the responsibility shouldn't be taken lightly. As a pet owner, it's your responsibility to offer a safe and loving environment. This includes adding a little extra effort when it comes to your HVAC system. In this blog, our experienced heating and cooling company at the Lake of the Ozarks will give 5 HVAC maintenance tips for pet owners.


1. Be sure to change your filters.

When you have a pet who lives indoors, it can be very common for your air filters within your HVAC system to become overwhelmed with pet dander or fur. When an air filter gets clogged, the air isn't able to flow properly and allergens can quickly build up. To help prevent this, you should regularly change your filters.

2. Consider using an air purifier.

Adding an air purifier to your home can help remove harmful particles or allergens from the air, so that you and your family can breathe easy.

3. Enclose the outside condenser units.

If your pets have free reign outside, than your condenser could be in trouble. Your pet could claw the fins of the condenser and injure themselves and damage your unit. Dogs also mark their territory by urinating and they could possibly do this on your unit. Urine can cause the fins to erode over time and could even cause refrigerant leaks. To help prevent these issues, put up fencing or some sort of barrier around your condenser unit.

4. Check for any exposed wires.

Puppies and kittens can consider exposed wires a chew toy. You can never be too safe with your pets, so keep your wires and your pets safe by enclosing your wires in conduits.

5. Keep your pets clean.

Obviously, pets can be messy. Pet fur can be a huge issue when it comes to the quality of your air.  To help prevent this issue, vacuum regularly. Also, keep your pet clean, by regularly bathing and brushing them.
