HOW DOES PET HAIR AFFECT YOUR HVAC SYSTEM?
In spite of the fact that your pet has short hair, their dander and fur can grow in your air filters. When your air conditioner or heater circulates air through your home, it sucks up the air inside your home. If your home is filled with pet hair, animal dander or other contaminants, they can end up clogging the air conditioner’s filter. A clogged air filter forces your HVAC system to work harder to provide you with heated or chilled air. When your system is forced to work harder, it uses more electricity and thus increases your bill.
