Effects of Pet on AC Equipment

This one might come as a HUGE surprise to pet owners everywhere but the truth is – your beloved dogs and your precious cats might be destroying your ultra-expensive air conditioners!
Yes.
Most animal owners come to know that the lower-placement of air conditioning units was a terrible idea as it gets the brunt of their dog’s playful attacks – the biting and scratching; the spraying of the cat and maybe some outlet wire-chewing.
But did you know that your pet’s URINE is destroying your AC from the inside?
Dog urine and even cat pee contains certain corrosive chemicals that eat away at metal parts of air conditioning units. AC fins and coils are normally coated in aluminum and that is the metal affected MOST by your pet’s unruly peeing behavior.
The damage is extensive and if not checked in time, the acid emanating from the constant urination will turn your expensive air conditioner’s metal parts into dust or corrosive waste!
This specially holds true for outdoor air conditioning units as they are easily accessible by most dogs. Male dogs tend to raise a leg literally anywhere and mark their territory by way of peeing. Female dogs and cats generally do not pose such a threat to ACs as their spraying issues are easily manageable and hardly occur.

So what should you do to protect your ACs from urine-destruction?

  • Step One – Call your expert serviceman and get ALL your ACs checked ASAP!

An expert technician will first clean all your parts and assess the damage that has taken place. Then he will replace the parts most corroded. And place a protective fence around your AC so that your adorable pet stays AWAY from it.

  • Step Two – Train your pet to use ONLY the toilet/litterbox.
  • Step Three – Get annual maintenance checks done to keep your ACs working efficiently all the time. It’s easy to get lazy and not get your AC cleaned and serviced every year.

The result?

It will stop working completely and by that time it might be to late to salvage it.
So, keep your pets away from your ACs and call in for expert help to keep your expensive investment always running smoothly.
