Air Conditioning For Pets

In many environments throughout the United States, it is of great importance to provide many domesticated animals with sufficient cooling. Humans are often much more able to regulate their temperature inside a home, apartment or office than pets are. Interior spaces can be stifling for animals with fur, as they often are unable to sweat on a majority of their body surface.

This is especially important for animal shelters, where many animals are often kept in rooms and cages with little climate control. This can place undue stress on animals that are already often scared or traumatized. In the saddest of cases, this can cause serious medical harm and even death. This is why pets should never be kept in cars when the outside temperature is higher than 65 degrees Fahrenheit, because a build-up of heat, even that which humans would still find comfortable, can cause serious physical harm to an animal insulated by fur. For this reason, many communities are supporting their local shelters financially for the installation of space cooling to keep our furry friends happy and calm while they wait for their new homes. I strongly suggest that you become active in your community and donate to your local shelter’s climate control fund, or start one of your own.

Often, individuals and organizations cite the fact that electricity is expensive when they go about rationalizing their reasons for not providing sufficient cooling for their pets. Really, this isn’t a great argument. There are many compact and easy to install air conditioning systems on the market today which are affordable in both initial cost and energy usage. What’s more, many of these systems also feature heat pump capability so they serve double duty in the winter, which can be almost as dangerous for pets, especially smaller ones. AC-World offers a wide variety of ductless air conditioning systems and packaged terminal air conditioning systems which can be cost effectively sized to match any living space, for humans or pets and provide comfortable environmental conditions to ensure well-being and health.
