Fighting off the heat

The 20th century was definitely  the greatest era when it came to innovations in technology. A large portion of those were made with a goal to make people’s lives easier and more comfortable. One that jumps out of the frame and that is mostly praised during warm seasons is air conditioning. Air conditioning prevents you from wanting to jump out of your skin on extremely hot days and provides you the comfort that you need. It can also deal with cold weather, making your home a lot warmer, and can raise or decrease the level of humidity, depending on your needs. There’s not much it can’t do, but only if it’s tied to air temperature adjustments. If you want it to walk your dog, well, in that case you’re going to have to force your kid to do it.

The importance of being cool

How many times did it happen to you that you’re having a day off from work and you wake up excited ‘cause you can do whatever you feel like doing, even if doing means just sitting in your favorite chair, watching TV, or having some quality time with your family, but unfortunately, at the very moment you open your eyes, you realize that you are soaking wet. Around 100°F outside, inside feels infinitely hotter and all of a sudden, you don’t feel like watching TV, you don’t have the patience for family members, let alone for doing something more complex and demanding. You feel exhausted and languid, and you go back to work even more tired than you would have been if you had worked the day instead. That is, when you realize that you should have bought an air conditioning system which would allow you to enjoy your free time at home, feeling cool and relaxed, laughing with your kids or enjoying your favorite TV shows. Air conditioning systems were very expensive when they first showed up, but nowadays, there is absolutely no need to sacrifice your children’s college fund in order to equip your home with the top-notch system and make everyone living in your house much, much happier.

The amazing thing about air-conditioning systems is that their use does not end with cooling your living quarters. New-age air conditioning systems are equipped with many options, therefore, aside from cooling, you can also heat-up your place during colder days. It is often very difficult to achieve a steady temperature with smaller heaters, but an AC is made to cover bigger areas and is perfect for smaller houses. You will no longer need to carry a blanket with you around the house during transition periods between warm and cold weather.

The AC is a portable machine which can be placed anywhere around the house, however, there is a whole system called HVAC, which is short for heating, ventilation and air conditioning combined. This shows us that aside from the two aforementioned options the AC is equipped with, HVAC has an ability to change or replace air in between any spaces, and also to remove the moisture from the air from a house or a vehicle, or, if needed, moisturize it. The HVAC is also perfect for removing bad odors, smoke, airborne bacteria and it can replenish oxygen. It is absolutely perfect after a get along with your friends or a party at your house. It is not portable as AC is, therefore, setting it up will cost more than setting up an AC, but you will be able to control the temperature in your entire house no matter how big it is.

Clean means cheaper and healthier

After you grew tired of the heat and cold, went out and bought an AC, the important thing for you to know is that you should take good care of it. Our friends from the Phoenix HVAC Team suggest that changing the air filter the AC is equipped with regularly will prevent the AC from putting in extra effort. Also, not cleaning the filter, which takes basically just a couple of minutes of your time, prevents the AC from working normally because it fails to clean the air properly. If someone in your house smokes or if you have a pet, the filter will need more frequent changing. If you or any of your family members suffer from asthma, the filter in your AC must be impeccably clean so it would keep the air from contaminants and allergens that could cause some bigger problems.
