We all love our pets. They make boon companions, there to greet us every day when we get home from work or school, and in some cases — such as with service dogs – they can fulfill a very important purpose in our lives. The biggest impediment to the warmth and support they provide is allergies, created when hair or dander gets into the vents and creates problems. If you’d like to find a way around your pet allergies, we can help. Consult a doctor about specifics, and then talk to us about ways to use air cleaners to get rid of pet hair, pet dander and other impediments and live happily with your four-footed family members.
Air Filters or Air Cleaners?
Every HVAC system comes with an air filter, which catches pet hair and pet dander, and keeps it from traveling through your system. If you have someone in your home with pet allergies, you want to change or clean this filter as often as you can: at least once a month, and even more often. You might also look into high density filters to capture the most amount of contaminants you can. A more comprehensive option is an electronic air filter, which ionizes the particles in the air and causes them to stick to a collection plate.
UV Air Cleaners
A UV air cleaner doesn’t work as well for pet dander as an electronic air filter, but it does make short work of flea eggs, germs and other creepy crawlies that our four-footed friends bring inside with them. The cleaner uses ultraviolet light to kills or sterilize them as they pass through your ducts, all while remaining perfectly harmless to you and your pet.
