The HVAC System Guide for Dog Owners


1. Know what kind of dog you have and their shedding patterns.

Dogs Who Tend To Shed the Most

Dogs that can tend to shed the most include the following breeds:

  • Alaskan Malamute
  • American Eskimo
  • German Shepherd Dog
  • Great Pyrenees
  • Akita
  • Chow Chow
  • Siberian Huskey
  • Pembroke Welsh Corgi
  • Labrador Retriever

2. Be aware of dog fur can do to your HVAC System and what you can do to protect it.

Dog fur can build up in your ducts and on your air filter. If gone unchecked, your energy bill could increase. It doesn't take long for dog fur to build up in your air filter, so change it on a regular basis, around once a month. Dog fur can also cause your air to be stale and make your home less comfortable. While some dogs that shed a lot may not be listed, it's important to vacuum on a regular basis if you have a dog in your home. That dog fur can move its way to your air ducts and cause allergens to spread throughout your air.

3. Be aware of the damage dogs can cause to outdoor HVAC units and know how to protect it.

Dogs can bite through your wiring outdoors and not only injure themselves but also damage your outdoor unit, so be sure to protect it with a fence or some sort of barrier.

4. Have your dog groomed on a regular basis.

Depending on the breed of dog you have, grooming schedules can vary, but you should brush them often and have their groomer apply anti shed treatments when possible.

5. Know how often your filter should be changed when owning a dog.

Typically we would recommend changing your AC filter once every six months but we recommend once every month for dog owners due to the extra debris (meaning dog fur) that can get in your filter.

6. Clear your home of pet dander.

Vacuum every couple of days and dust often. Pet dander can be on anything in your home and can spread throughout your HVAC system. This can be a top allergen.
