The 110th Anniversary of the Air Conditioner (July 17, 1902)

July 19, 2012 - PRLog -- When Dr. Willis H. Carrier revealed his new air conditioning system to control the humidity in his New York printing plant, it would be the birth of the air conditioner.  The beginning of air conditioning was primarily for big businesses like factories and plants.  The early air conditioners were named the "weathermakers."  Residential air conditioning appeared for the first time in the 1940's with the first home air conditioner being installed in Fort Worth, Texas.  Air conditioning has since grown to be a necessity in Texas, especially for an air conditioner in Houston TX Spring TX The Woodlands TX and the surrounding cities.  Everyone's air conditioning plays a large part in their daily lives, i.e., the air conditioner system uses up to 40 to 50 percent energy to cool and heat a home.

Air conditioning energy efficiency is extremely important during hot and humid Houston Spring summers.  Is your air conditioner unit energy efficient?

Remember some helpful tips about home air conditioning:
- the typical air conditioner carries 25 degrees which makes it difficult to cool the house under 75 degrees when it is 100+ heat wave outside
- an average AC can last up to 15 years if it has proper air conditioning maintenance and air conditioning service
- the failure to replace an air conditioning filter is the #1 reason why air conditioners do not perform properly and can break down

Air conditioning plays an important part in history after its beginning wherein during World War II, many companies like Macys, Sears and Tiffany & Co. donated their air conditioning systems to help in the war effort.  Almost 7,000 tons of these ac systems were removed from the companies' stores and installed into the factories where workers were building supplies for the war.
