The Impact of Pets on Indoor Air: Solutions for Cleaner Ducts

There’s nothing quite like our furry, four-legged family members to improve our quality of life with their unconditional love. Unfortunately, they can also make it a bit more difficult for us to breathe in clean indoor air. This becomes even worse when you suffer from allergies or other respiratory conditions. Let Lowe’s Air Duct Cleaning partner with you to improve your home’s air quality as we go through some solutions to maintaining cleaner air ducts for better indoor air.

The Impact of Pets

Pet dander can accumulate in your air ducts, causing a buildup of allergens, dust, and debris. We've had customers without pets move into homes and begin to struggle with allergy symptoms, only to discover that the former owners lived with pets. We can always see the evidence of furry household members, whether past or present, in the form of pet hair found in our HEPA vacuum after an air duct cleaning appointment. Once we get the pet dander cleaned out of the air ducts, these customers can breathe easily again.

Air Duct Cleaning

The best way to ensure you breathe cleaner indoor air is to have your air ducts professionally cleaned. Lowe's Air Duct Cleaning uses the source removal method of cleaning, which means that we physically remove the contaminants from the air ducts and from your home. Some companies will use a spray to glue the dust, dirt, and debris to the surface of air ducts, but we don't use this ineffective process. We typically recommend that homeowners have their air ducts cleaned every 4-6 years, but you may need them cleaned more often if you have pets or other extenuating circumstances. 

Regular Pet Grooming

Another way to minimize the amount of allergens that accumulate in your air ducts is to groom your pets regularly. This can reduce the hair and dander they shed inside your house. Also, brush your pets outside consistently to prevent any loose fur from accumulating inside your home.

Frequent Air Filter Changes

One other solution to keep your air ducts as clean as possible from pet fur is to change your HVAC system's air filters frequently. Invest in filters specifically meant to reduce pet dander and other allergens by capturing as much as possible before they enter your air ducts. Be sure to set reminders for yourself to change them out so they effectively do their job.
