Male dogs and Air Conditioners... Say What?
Male dogs and Air Conditioners... Say What?
Yup, you heard it right, male dogs and air conditioners are a real bad mix... believe it or not!It is truly amazing to see the damage done to outdoor air conditioning units by male dogs, it is not that the dogs are attacking the unit, scratching or biting, it's not that they are chewing the wires to the air conditioner... that is another story by itself and is fairly obvious. What we are talking about here is not so pleasant.... Urine! Yes, pee, dog pee. As it turns out the acid in the urine can literally eat away at your air conditioner. The aluminum fins that you see that make up the condenser coil will disappear fairly quickly if your dog happens to like that particular spot to well, take a piss. Granted I have heard of female dogs that think they are males and lift the leg so I would think in that case the female would be guilty also how ever rare that may be. The urine will ruin your air conditioning condenser unit as sure as I sit here and write this and it is far more common than anyone may think is possible. So if you have a male dog, if I were you, I would make sure the dog stays away from the outdoor air conditioning unit.The choice is yours but a new air conditioner these days is not cheap by any means. Truly one of those "believe it or not" subjects but very true.
