Do You Have Pets? You Need SunTouch WarmWire

The American Pet Products Manufacturers Association reports that 44.8 million households own at least one dog. In addition to dogs, of course, many households have beloved pets such as cats, ferrets, hamsters, and the like. For many households, pets are a valued part of the family. However, if you are not using SunTouch WarmWire radiant floor heat to warm your home, the littlest members of your family may be suffering.

You see, if you have forced air systems, baseboard heating, or any other traditional heating system, you likely are not heating your home evenly. Your pets, closest to the ground, are most likely to feel the effects. Most heating systems work by overheating something – a furnace, a radiator, or a baseboard heater, for example – and that heat quickly heats up the lower part of a room before very quickly moving towards the ceiling, losing much heat on the way. The result is cold floors, cold spots and very quickly fluctuating temperatures. Your pet, close to the ground, is most likely to suffer from cold floors and the sudden change from too-warm to cold temperatures. Unfortunately, your pet, as the smallest member of your household, may also be least able to handle sudden changes in temperature. In cold months, you may notice your cat or dog climbing up on a couch or trying to get warm by a vent. This is a sign that your pet is having a hard time achieving a comfortable warmth.

Worse, if you have forced air systems, the fur your cat or dog produces is likely being spread all over the house. Forced air systems are also blowing dust, pollen, and other allergens all over your home. Not only is this not very safe for your pet, but it can also cause health problems for every member of your family.
