What Your Pets Need You to Know About Your HVAC System

Doug the Canine Right here with Some Air Conditioning Ideas 

Our common weblog author and President of Air-Tro, Bob Helbing, has stepped away from the keyboard this week to let Doug the Canine take over running a blog duties as a part of a summer time canine work-study program. He will get a number of biscuits of credit score for this. Thanks for studying!

Good day, my expensive people and fellow air con aficionados! You could assume canine don’t have a lot to say about HVAC. In truth, you could assume all we actually care about are tummy rubs, the neighbor’s cat and barking on the vacuum cleaner. Oh, that and kibble! 

Properly, the reality is we do care about all these issues, however we additionally take into consideration indoor consolation too, particularly in the course of the hottest days of summer time right here in Southern California. In truth, the numerous naps we take are virtually unattainable with out actually good air con. Do you know it’s a fable that we favor to sleep on scorching patios or door mats outdoors on summer time days? Overlook that! We’re a lot happier shedding and drooling inside your own home. 

Warmth Can Harm 

Even in case you don’t let your canine on the sectional (and this canine certain hopes you do), do not forget that extreme warmth can have an effect on an animal similar to a human. At all times make certain now we have entry to a lot of recent, cool water. And if it’s too scorching for you outdoors, it’s doubtless too scorching for us too. Our paws are delicate and so are our hearts! We wish to be inside with you, or not less than in a comfortable spot close to an HVAC vent ready so that you can come residence. Older canine particularly have a tough time with climate extremes, in keeping with my favourite veterinarian (he smells like bacon). 

Maintain Your Thermostat Temps Constant

Do you know that turning your air con fully off in the course of the daytime after which cranking it again on once more later when folks come residence solely makes your HVAC gear need to work tougher? As a substitute, flip up the temperature setting on the thermostat each morning by a couple of levels for when the home is empty (aside from us pets), moderately than shutting it off. It will likely be simpler to chill the home once you get residence, too. 

Additionally, on an particularly scorching day, make certain your drapes and home windows are closed all through the home to maintain that cooler air in and warmer air out. Seal up all leaks and drafts, too. We’d do it, but it surely’s a bummer not having opposable thumbs. 

One other reminder? Change your air filter usually, particularly in the course of the summer time. It is going to hold your air high quality excessive, guarantee a lot of good airflow and scale back stress in your AC gear. In any case, I like good air high quality too. And the happier my house owners are (with decrease utility payments), the extra doubtless they’re to take me for a stroll. 

So an enormous WOOF! to all of you and will all of your days be canine ones. Thanks for listening, and hopefully I’ll see you on the market on the paths. I’ll be the one peeing on the bushes! 

Love and slurps,

Doug
