Is Your HVAC System Protected from Common Pet Problems?

Your furry companions are part of your family, so it’s normal that you would want to give them the best home possible. Unfortunately, they can cause problems with your heating and cooling systems that necessitate calling on professional residential HVAC services. These issues are rarely serious, but they can worsen if neglected. Homes with cats and dogs must take extra precautions to keep their HVAC systems safe and free from trouble with pet hair, fur and dander.

Let our heating and air conditioning experts at A-1 Comfort Care provide you with some basic maintenance tips for a more “pet-friendly” HVAC system.

The Root of the Problem

Cats and dogs have seasons when they shed the most fur. Normally this happens in early spring, but depending on your animal, it could be any time of the year. This fur can then find its way through your duct network and quickly clog your filters. You can prevent problems by scheduling routine air conditioning repair services, as well as maintenance that includes regular filter changes and tune-ups.

Duct Sealing

Having your ducts properly sealed by professionals also goes a long way in improving your indoor air quality, especially when you have pets at home. If fur and dander get inside your ducts, they can be distributed to almost every part of your home, which can be an even bigger problem to deal with in the long run. Call your local HVAC company for duct sealing services to prevent this type of issue from occurring in the first place.

Protect Your Outdoor Units

Pets can have a tendency to mark their territory. Unfortunately, your outdoor unit is vulnerable to this behavior. Ask your residential HVAC services about coverings or protection for your condensers to keep your furry friends from spraying them.

At A-1 Comfort Care, our specialists can help keep your HVAC system safe from your beloved four-legged friends. Call us today at (732) 578-0379 or fill out our contact form to schedule a consultation and get a free estimate today. We serve homeowners in Freehold, and Wall, NJ.
