I love our cat, don’t get myself and others wrong, however I can tell you that the amount of hair that comes off of his is beyond ridiculous.

How can a single little animal generate so much dander and hair? Every one of us have all hardwood floors in the home, so the hair collects into little tumbleweeds and goes zipping across the home as if it was the old west or something. Finally I solved that problem by taking the animal to a groomer that helped reduce the amount of shedding hair. It was too late for that option to help our Heating and A/C system, unluckyly, however at least it won’t be a long-recurring problem. I’m not the smartest guy in the world, and beyond setting up two or more Heating and A/C appointments a year for general inspection and service I don’t honestly suppose the first thing about a/cs. So I had never once changed out the air filter in the modern system, I always let the techs do that when they paid a visit. That’s how they manage to make their money, right? Well with all this cat hair our air filter couldn’t last numerous months as normal, it would have needed to be changed, or at least cleaned out very nicely, once a month or so. When an air filter gets jammed up it restricts the airflow through the system, and that makes the system perform twice as difficult trying to cool your home. So basically the cat hair clogged the old air filter, and the air filter put extra strain on the central AC, which eventually had a huge heart attack and died. You better believe that is a mistake I won’t make ever again, new air filters every month from now on.
