Fun Facts About AC

When it comes to heating, ventilation and air conditioning, we truly care about your comfort. We also know that some of the issues most important to you are reliable service that you don’t have to think about and service that helps keep your power bills low.

With that in mind, check out some of these cool HVAC facts:

• According to The United States Census Bureau, 65% of homes have central air conditioning and 22% have room or window units.

• It takes as much energy to power AC units in the US every year as is consumed by the entire continent of Africa!

• In 1903, the New York Stock Exchange building in NYC was among the first buildings to use an air conditioning system.

• Without the development of modern AC, we would have missed out on advances in medical technology, longer human life expectancies, the reduction in the spread of diseases once common in warmer climates, as well as increased employee productivity.

• The first concept of AC occurred about 500 years ago in Persia, when people built wind towers to try to get the same effect as air conditioning by catching windy breezes and forcing hot air out through internal vanes.
