It really is crazy when you think about this. There really is no history on who invented central heating and air conditioning. I was very curious about this and I searched for hours on the internet looking for more information on who invented heating and air conditioning systems and there was no info. I tried looking everywhere possible. The most I was even able to find was that a hot water boiler was the oldest form of heating. But nothing about who invented it or even anything on how central air conditioning or even window air conditioning came about. I guess this is something that was never documented in history. No one really knows which is why there is no information out there. I really wanted to know because I am very grateful for the invention of central heating and air conditioning. I am one of those people who rely on it to live and do not know what I would do without it. From the time I was a kid to now being an adult, I do not think there was ever a time in my life that I did not have central heating or air conditioning around me. My parents lived in a time where furnaces were the heating and window air conditioning systems were the cooling, but even then, it was some form of heating and air conditioning. I really am curious to find out the truth about this. Maybe someday I will find the answer and be very happy when I do. But until then, I will just continue to wonder…who on earth invented central heating and air conditioning?
Quality HVAC
A bit chilly
My house can get a bit chilly this time of the year even with central heating.
So what I do to take the chill out of the rooms I am in within the house is use my portable space heater.
With my portable space heater it evens out the uneven temperatures. I went out and bought the portable space heater because of this. The portable space heater is something that really does help. This is because modern portable space heaters are much more powerful than the old portable space heaters from years ago. The portable space heater that I have really works well to take the chill out of the uneven temperatures. I could have went out and bought a zoned heating and air conditioning system which would have taken care of the issue. However, I can not spend that kind of money. Zoned heating and air conditioning systems also known as HVAC zone control cost way too much money for this average working class joe to be able to afford. So the portable space heater does the trick in taking the chill out of the house when the weather gets cold and my central heater just isn’t working right to warm up everything. There is nothing wrong with my central heating and air conditioning system, it is just that my house is built rather strange which causes these uneven temperatures. In the summer time I have the same issue, so I use a portable air conditioning system at that point and do the same thing with the cooling in the house.
A friendly deed
I am an independent heating and air conditioning specialist who works for myself.
And sometimes, if friends or family need some kind of heating and cooling repair or home services I will provide it for free as a good deed. This happened recently when a good friend of mine had their central heating and air conditioning system break down right in the middle of a super hot day. They tried to call for emergency heating and cooling home services from their local heat and a/c company and there were none available. So he called me and asked if I could come out to him to repair the central heating and air conditioning system. He offered to pay me for the long distance out of town trip charge and the heating and cooling repair at my regular rates. However I wanted to do him a favor and charged him nothing. He had done something for me recently, so this would be the return favor and good deed. I was glad to find that the central heating and air conditioning system repair was not a difficult one. It was something I was able to fix with ease and save my friend a few hundred bucks. I stayed and hung out for a while after I repaired the central heating and air conditioning system. The air conditioning really felt great once it was back on again. That was my good deed and return favor for what my buddy did for me recently. And I do not mind doing free favors for friends and family sometimes if they return the love back so to speak later.
Too noisy
I can remember back in the day when I had a window air conditioning unit in my bedroom growing up.
This was before central heating and air conditioning systems were a thing in residential homes.
I liked the way the window air conditioning system cooled the room, however it was so noisy that I had trouble sleeping sometimes. And in those days, there was nothing you could do about that. It was either deal with the noise of the window air conditioning system or suffer with no air conditioning system. It was rather hot in the summers where I grew up, so air conditioning was a must. There was simply no way around it unless you wanted to be in total discomfort. So what I used to do to try to combat the noise was wear ear plugs to sleep. But I could only do that on weekends when I did not have to wake up to an alarm clock for school. So you see, it was quite a hassle. I am so glad that today we all have central heating and air conditioning systems available to us that are affordable to the average joe. Because I do not think I could deal with the noisy window air conditioning systems at this point in my life getting to be middle aged heading towards old man territory. I need sleep now more than when I was a kid, so window air conditioning systems and their noisy ways would simply just not work for me today!
It froze up
I work in an office building and the other week we had a pretty bad snow storm.
As a result, the rooftop heating and air conditioning system that provides our heating froze up! This caused the central heating to fully stop working.
It got pretty cold in there at work. However, they were able to go and get some portable space heaters to keep us warm while they called the heating and air conditioning company to request commercial emergency heat and a/c services for the rooftop heating and cooling system. They sent out a few heating and cooling specialists to the building to begin working on fixing the rooftop air conditioning and heating system. It took them several hours to unfreeze what had been frozen, and they finally got the rooftop heating and air conditioning system back up and running again just as we were all leaving for the day. I can only imagine what the bill was like for a heating and air conditioning company to repair a commercial rooftop heat and a/c system. I know I would never be able to afford such things whatever the price may have been. But I was glad that when I came back to work the next day the central heating was working fine again. Because the portable space heaters they put around the building only took the chill out. It was still pretty darn cold in there and I would have had a hard time trying to work again under those temperature conditions. Rooftop heating and air conditioning systems are sure tricky!
