As spring arrives, it’s the perfect time for pet owners to give their HVAC system some extra attention. Pets bring warmth and joy to our homes, but they also contribute to hair, dander, and dust buildup—factors that can significantly affect your indoor air quality and HVAC efficiency.
Start by changing your air filters. In homes with pets, filters should be replaced more frequently—every 1 to 2 months during high-shedding seasons like spring. Clean filters improve airflow, reduce allergens, and help your system run more efficiently.
Next, consider professional duct cleaning. Pet hair and dander can accumulate in your ductwork, affecting your air quality and triggering allergies. A professional cleaning will ensure fresh, clean air circulates throughout your home.
Check your outdoor unit too. Pets often explore near HVAC systems, and fur or debris can clog the coils or fans. Ensure the unit is clear and schedule a seasonal maintenance visit to keep everything running smoothly.
Don’t forget your thermostat settings. With fluctuating spring temperatures, now is a great time to optimize your settings for comfort and efficiency. A programmable or smart thermostat can help regulate indoor temperatures while saving energy.
Finally, regular HVAC maintenance from professionals ensures your system is pet-ready year-round. The professional and highly skilled team from A Plus Quality is here to help with all your HVAC needs, offering expert service tailored for pet-friendly households.
