Zone control for exotic pets

Zone control for exotic pets

I have unconventional pets.

  • I am allergic to just about everything so I can’t have any furry friends.

Instead, I keep reptiles, amphibians, and tarantulas. These pets might not be what most people would call cute and cuddly but I love them the same as you love your cat or your dog. However, cold blooded critters require a bit more care than a cat or a dog does. Half of my house is set up with reptile racks, heat lamps, and terrariums. I even have zone control set up in my house so that I can choose what rooms get air conditioning and what rooms get heating. This keeps all of my pets happy while not baking myself to death. But this wasn’t always the case. I used to have a conventional HVAC system and it was almost impossible to keep the reptiles warm while keeping myself cool. I used to just close off vents in certain room and then run a space heater. But then the space heater almost started a fire. Thankfully, I was home at the time so I caught it but I was really concerned. What if that had happened when I wasn’t home? My animals may have burned to death. That thought terrifies me. That’s why I got the zone control installed. At the time, I didn’t realize how much money the zone control would end up saving me in the long run. It has paid for itself twice now. I wish I had gotten zone control installed earlier instead of running air conditioning with a heater for as long as I did.
