Evaluating the History of Air Conditioners and Studying Multiple Trends - How Many Homeowners Cooled Their Houses 

Evaluating the History of Air Conditioners and Studying Multiple Trends - How Many Homeowners Cooled Their Houses 

Since the 1880s, many people have utilized numerous products that can cool their houses, reduce the level of humidity and improve the comfort of their homes. Some homeowners purchased electric fans that required direct current, but eventually, multiple inventors created air conditioners that featured innovative compressors, durable condensers and efficient evaporators.

Using Electric Fans

In 1886, a well-known inventor created the first electric fan, and the device featured two blades that contained heavy-duty metal. During the 1890s, several experts invented fans that featured durable motors, which required alternating current. The fans were able to cool sizeable rooms, and according to multiple reports, some houses contained more than five fans that consistently operated during the summer months.

Inventing Air Conditioners

Willis Carrier created the first air conditioner in 1902, and the talented inventor tested many air conditioners that could significantly reduce the level of humidity within a room. During 1915, Willis Carrier established a well-known company that manufactured many types of air conditioners. In the 1930s, the business designed an innovative device that utilized a condenser, mechanical controls, an evaporator and several types of coils.

Increasing the Quality of the Air Conditioners

Since the 1950s, many companies have frequently upgraded the air conditioners, and some businesses have designed cutting-edge units that feature durable compressors, several valves and efficient thermostats. The air conditioners also utilize Freon, which is a trademarked product. Freon can quickly absorb extra heat, and the refrigerant could easily cool the air that is located within the unit.

Reducing Energy Costs

During the last decade, many companies have created innovative air conditioners that can improve energy efficiency, and some devices feature smart thermostats that could automatically regulate the air conditioner, monitor the usage of electricity and modulate the temperature of each room. The customers may also install mobile applications that can control the smart thermostats, evaluate the air conditioner's performance and reduce the consumption of energy.

FAQ

  • Most common Boiler Issues

    - Boiler fails to ignite
    - Low pressure
    - Strange Noises
    - Boiler is not responding to the thermostat
    - Cold Radiators
    - Boiler leaking or dripping
    - Boiler cycling very fast
    - Available Hot water but No Heat

  • Why should I maintain my Furnace or AC?

    An annual maintenance will extend the lifetime of your heating and cooling unit. The technician will diagnose and repair any problem with the unit before it fails, so you won't need to worry about any problems when the weather gets very hot in the summer or extremely cold in the winter.

  • What is a mini-split?

    By definition, and simply put, a “Split System” is a heating and air conditioning system which has two main components, the indoor unit and outdoor unit. In short, the indoor unit absorbs heat energy in the cooling mode, and the outdoor unit rejects the very heat absorbed by the indoor unit. And the cycle is repeated until the set temperature is met. Although the indoor and outdoor units are located in physically different, hence “split” locations, they are connected and operate as, one system; continuously circulating refrigerant liquid and vapor by means of interconnecting, dehydrated copper refrigerant lines, commonly referred to as a “Line Set”.

  • What is a heat pump?

    Heat pumps use electricity to move heat from a cool space to a warm space, making the cool space cooler and the warm space warmer. During the heating season, heat pumps move heat from the cool outdoors into your warm house and during the cooling season, heat pumps move heat from your cool house into the warm outdoors. Because they move heat rather than generate heat, heat pumps can provide equivalent space conditioning at as little as one quarter of the cost of operating conventional heating or cooling appliances.

  • How do I know what size unit I need?
    If you have any problems with your system, you should contact the contractor who installed the units. All our systems are covered by a 5 year parts, 7 year compressor limited warranty
