Living With Pets: How to Improve Indoor Air Quality

Our furry loved ones are bundles of joy that we can’t do without. We would go far to ensure that they feel as comfortable as possible at home, but their dander can be problematic for your home’s HVAC unit, to the point that you may need to call an AC repair expert to lend you a hand. 

In this post, Cooper Brothers, a top HVAC contractor, shares how you can improve your home’s indoor air quality when living with pets.

Try whole-home air purification systems. Almost half of people with pet allergies don’t show symptoms right off the bat. Sometimes, it can take months or even years for reactions to pet dander to surface as it accumulates. Instead of waiting for symptoms to show up, you can get a whole-home air purification system to keep the air that you breathe in as clean as possible for you and your pets. This system filters out pollutants and germs and removes odors as well, which is very important in this day and age.

Clean up regularly. Sometimes, you don’t need to rely on advanced air quality HVAC services to increase your home’s air quality; you can simply stick to a routine cleaning schedule for your home and your pet as well. Bathe your pet as needed and brush them outdoors to prevent dander from spreading throughout your home. Once done, try to vacuum or sweep the areas in which your pet usually stays to remove any dander that’s built up.

Keep in mind that it’s also a great idea to use a vacuum that has a HEPA filter to prevent dust from circulating around your home. We personally also recommend vacuuming your rugs and floor mats on a weekly basis, depending on how much your pet sheds.
