The History of AC part 1

wp_history_paperAir conditioners are obviously important.  That’s a no-brainer.  But did you know just how important they’ve been to history?  As an Austin AC company, we would like to recommend for you to read some interesting fun facts about air conditioning units below.  You might end up with a greater appreciation of these magnificent devices.

Summer Break

Remember how awesome summer break was to you when you were younger?  How you counted the days until the teacher dismissed you so you could run off and have fun for what seemed like forever?

Summer breaks were created because of the scorching hot weather during those months off. But the best part?  When AC become common, we still got to keep summer break!  How amazing is that?  That means all those cozy days you spent indoors without scorching up are because of AC – the very solution to the reason you’re off today begin with.  Pretty fascinating and a winning scenario for all parties involved.

Promoting Health

Air conditioning, when combined with science, has seen several advances in this modern age.  Without AC, you could be out of luck when it comes to scientific breakthroughs.  Think about it… How else would controlled studies be done with scientists if the weather was changing, unpredictable and at the mercy of the weather?  That means HVAC/AC has been key to many breakthroughs.

We should also mention something more tangible.  Air conditioning makes the lives of those out there that suffer from allergies much more bearable!  By circulating and filtering the air, your indoor life can be much more pleasant.  Think about how nice it is to escape the outdoors when the pollen levels are very high and come into a nice, cool home with pure air.

Summer Blockbusters

ACs paved the way for summer blockbusters!  By being an early adopter of air conditioning systems, theatres had many people rush over to be indoors in a nice, cool, room where they could simultaneously be entertained.  One could argue that the huge blockbuster wouldn’t quite be the way it is today if it wasn’t for these odd origins.  Think about that the next time you take the family to see a superhero film.

We gained inspiration for today’s blog entry from some interesting articles such as this one and also this entry.
