How our HVAC Repair Contractors Better Assist Homeowners with Pets
According to ASPCA, approximately 47% of all households in the United States have a dog and about 37% own a cat. Having a cat or a dog can be an endless battle for a homeowner when it comes to cleaning up after all the dander and fur. What homeowners don’t realize is that homes with pets are more than just cleaning the surfaces within your home. Homes with pets suffer from poor air quality when there aren’t proper solutions already put in place.
Our HVAC recommendations for all the homeowners with pets

AIR FILTERS – When you have pets, your air filter on your HVAC unit needs to be changed more frequently than what is recommended by the manufacturer. We advise homeowners with pets to change their air filter every 60 days.
-
UPGRADE FILTERS – Perhaps allergies are a problem around your home. We would recommend high-efficiency filters that can remove smaller dander particles and help clear the air around your home.
-
HVAC CLEANING – If you have noticed build of pet hair and dander along with any other debris in your HVAC system, then we advise you get it cleaned. HVAC system cleaning and duct cleaning are services that could help clear air quality in a home with pets.

How to Know your AC is Almost Ready to be Replaced
Your AC unit made it through another hot summer season. You think to yourself that your AC unit is in the clear but that may not always be the case. Just because your AC made it through one summer doesn’t guarantee it will make it the next time temperatures on the Gulf Coast soar in the high 90’s. It’s important to see if your AC needs maintenance or needs to be completely replaced especially after a season of high temperatures. Here are some possible indicators that your air conditioner may be at the end of the rope.
1. AC is not cooling – This is probably the most obvious indicator but should definitely be looked into if experiencing this issue. An air conditioner is meant to keep your home cool and if it isn’t doing that, then there is a problem. This could be caused by a few reasons such as a refrigerant leak, calibrated thermostat or a compression failure. If your not sure why your is AC not cooling properly, then its best to have a professional come out and assess your unit.
2. Noisy AC unit – A well maintained and properly functioning air conditioner is meant to operate quietly and efficiently without excessive noise. If your AC is noisy or making an unusual sound then this could be an indicator that a bigger problem is compromising your AC system such as the air conditioner’s fan belt. This is another instance when you should consult a professional to diagnose the problem.
3. Drop in air flow – If you have noticed a decline in your air conditioner’s air flow, it could be an indicator that your unit is breaking down. First check your air filters and if they are not in need of replacing, then call a technician to access the situation.
