As a pet owner, you know how much your furry friends mean to you. Unfortunately, they can be exposed to a variety of potential health hazards including mould which can cause serious problems. To keep your pets safe and healthy, it’s important to understand the risks and take action to keep mould at bay.
Mould spores are airborne and can settle in carpets and fabrics, causing respiratory problems in both humans and animals. Symptoms of mould exposure in pets include coughing, sneezing, difficulty breathing, wheezing and red eyes. If left untreated it could lead to more serious health issues such as chronic bronchitis or even an asthma attack.
The best way to reduce the risk of mould exposure for your pets is by controlling the humidity in your house. Mould loves damp conditions so keeping humidity levels at a maximum of 50% is essential for reducing the risk of mould growth.
One way you can do this is by installing a hot water heat pump. This high-efficiency appliance helps regulate indoor temperatures and humidity levels automatically, reducing the workload on your air conditioner or heater while also cutting back on energy costs. The hot water heat pump works by extracting heat from the air outside using its built-in compressor and transferring it inside as warm air or hot water. This helps reduce moisture in the air while also maintaining comfortable temperatures throughout your home all year round – perfect for keeping your pets healthy!
Another way to prevent mould growth is by cleaning regularly with non-toxic cleaners that won’t harm your pet’s health if they come into contact with them (e.g., baking soda and vinegar). Make sure you vacuum carpets regularly too as this will help remove dust mites which can be a breeding ground for mould spores.
Finally, if you suspect that there may already be mould present in your home then you should call in a professional who can test for its presence and advise on how best to eradicate it safely from your home environment (without endangering yourself or your pet).
By taking these precautions you can help keep your furry friends safe from dangerous mould exposure while also reducing energy costs – so why not install a hot water heat pump today?
