Owning pets bring lots of joy and love into people’s lives, until it comes to cleaning up after them. Owning pets means there’s lots of hair and dander floating about your home which increases dust and allergies. Below are some helpful tips to battle pet hair and dander! 

·  Regular Filter Replacement: Pet hair and dander can clog up HVAC filters quickly. Make sure to replace or clean your filters regularly, ideally every 1-3 months, to maintain optimal airflow and filtration efficiency.

·  Vacuum Frequently: Vacuuming your home frequently, including carpets, rugs, upholstery, and pet bedding, can help remove pet hair and dander before they get airborne and circulate through your HVAC system.

·  Schedule Professional HVAC Maintenance: Regular HVAC maintenance by a professional technician is essential for pet owners. A technician can inspect and clean your HVAC system, including ductwork, coils, and vents, to remove accumulated pet hair and dander.

·  Seal Ductwork: Ensure that your ductwork is properly sealed to prevent pet hair and dander from entering and accumulating inside ducts. Sealing ductwork also helps improve energy efficiency and indoor air quality.

·  Consider Air Duct Cleaning: If you notice excessive pet hair or dander buildup in your home or suspect that your ducts are dirty, consider scheduling professional air duct cleaning. This can help remove accumulated contaminants and improve overall air quality.

·  Maintain a Clean Home: Regularly clean your home to reduce the amount of pet hair and dander in the environment. This includes dusting surfaces, mopping floors, and washing pet bedding and toys regularly.

· Consider Air Scrubber: Efficient Air offers Reme Halo/Air Scrubbers for purchase which attaches directly to the HVAC system to reduce dust and dander. It disinfects your air by creating hydrogen peroxide which sanitizes your surfaces.
