A clear proposal for HVAC air quality tips pets states what was tested, what remains uncertain, what the correction includes, and how operation will be verified afterward.
- Is the main concern airborne dander, loose hair, odor, or a combination of sources?
- Does the current filter area and airflow support a more effective filter?
- Would room cleaning, return improvements, or portable filtration address the observed source best?
